I don’t think so. Have you looked at USC’s defensive rankings. They would get smashed in the playoff. When you compare our one loss to number one Georgia and they lost to Utah who lost to Florida. Plus our offense ranks higher and our defense. Pretty easy pick. To me, it’s all about creating suspense and making others feel like they have a chance. I don’t think anyone really does and their is a reasons we are five. They can just put us right back in when someone inevitably loses.

Oh I agree with you…. was just giving what I think would be the worst case scenario for UT. Possibly add in a < 7 pt loser in the OSU/UM game would be another bad wrinkle in that TCU/USC scenario.

Pushed, bumped, elbowed, ( shoved is probably too aggressive a description based on what I saw. ) Nudged is probably too light, escorted, there wasn't much contact as I recall, and he didn't go down as I recall. No major contact with either a shoulder pad or helmet - what very strong declarative statement are you referring to ? This is getting more play than the guy in the grassy knoll that allegedly shot Kennedy. Perhaps you guys have hashed and rehashed this in the past, my apologies for missing that discussion if so.

Since I am also not tracking your cycle - my apologies if this was a bad time of the month for you - seems you are a little overly sensitive regarding very small insignificant items. Water over the dam - but tell Joe, the idea with time expiring is to throw the ball into the endzone before you encounter defenders and possibly get sacked, tackled out of bounds or chased out of bounds as the clock runs out.

HUH, it sure does appear you do not like being exposed for not using facts in your analysis. Doubt that is surprising to anybody on the board.

We called this Slip-Stream but still fun to see from the ground.

The fix is in. Michigan's athletic director is a member of the CFP committee.

How in the seven hells is that not conflict of interest?

Georgia–Tennessee football rivalry


52 All-time series

Georgia leads 27–23–2

Largest victory - Tennessee, 46–0 (1936)

Longest win streak - Tennessee, 9 (1989–1999)

 

[dyllisvol42]

So what? Sorry facts hurt feelings around here but we haven’t dominated UGA in a long time. I believe that is gonna change under Heupel. We had a great 9 year streak against them. But they lead the overall series.

The fact that we have beat them 6 times in that span with the general ineptness we have had in our coaches is amazing to me. Mark Richt did less with more then any coach I could recall besides Jimbo. UGA should dominate year in and year out not only in football but in all sports. They do not have to even leave a three hour radius of there campus to fin the best players in the country.

IDK if it's been mentioned, but the latest mock draft on CBSSports has Jalin Hyatt to the Titans (R1, pick 20).

2023 NFL Mock Draft: Bryce Young QB1 in an uneven class, Steelers land Will Anderson Jr.

Well this may be a first but I'm agreeing with Jack Burton, the only thing on our mind should be beating gamecocks!

In sports nothing good ever happens when one team overlooks another. Beating SC is all that's on my mind right now..

 

[Orange Studs]

So true.

There are multiple ADs on the CFP committee. 1 from each P5 conference, plus a few from smaller conferences. It just is a point of contention now, because Michigan is in the playoff discussion. He'll get one vote and will have to appear fair in their discussions. If they lose, they are out. It's a non-issue IMO.

That is INSANE.

I’d like to ask everyone that would to pray for my stepdad, my dad passed when I was 9 months old so he’s been my dad my entire life. They have found a mass on or around his bladder. We are waiting for an appointment in Vanderbilt so they can get a biopsy done. It’s so hard to have any peace in this life anymore. TIA

Somehow missed this. Praying, brother.

For those concerned:

I ran simulations for the top ten teams' next 2 games, and assumed the expected team would win all games...

Tennessee will finish the season with a Strength of Schedule around 16th best (currently 4th). No one in the top ten is close:

If you ignore scoring offense and scoring defense, here is what I would call the "Strength of Record" for the top 15, with the assumptions from above:

 

[OrangeShade]

In a much less contentious manner, I think Walker Merrill will explore options also.

I hope not. Still think he can be good. He runs good routes, is able to get open, and has good hands.

Thanks for posting. This will matter greatly with a loss or two from those above them. So far the CFP committee has done things right IMO.

My goal is to be able to give you a piggyback ride wherever you want to go. Or maybe pull a travois. Or an off road rickshaw.

My family has always considered me a pack mule. One of my nicknames in college was sled dog.

I will add you to my bucket list.

Take little steps to regain some of your physical abilities. Set small goals and then add more as you succeed. Too many people pick huge initial goals and fail. (I do that all the damn time) If you can afford one of the fitness tracker watches, that can really help.

My biggest issue is gluttony. When I work out, my appetite goes into overdrive and I want to eat everything that I can get my hands on. Portion control is extremely difficult for me too. It’s my biggest struggle. I will lose 10 lbs, relax my tight control and gain 5 lbs. back in just a few days.

I have no insurance and my left knee is bone on bone and has been since a patch job surgery in 2004 to remove everything that was torn to shreds by an injury I had playing BB in 95..they took half my patella tendon to make something to hold my leg together until I could get a knee replacement.

Once again...I have had no insurance since 2007...I can't afford it on me and the wife also...and she has to have it due to seizures that require monthly prescriptions.


My right knee is gone to hell now too, so I can barely walk...and did I mention the right shoulder that is completely ruined....oh and six extremely herniated disc's, three lumbar and three cervical along with stenosis and spurs everywhere....

I am a wreck...but I have extremely high pain tolerance...so I have that going for me..lol

Stupid thing is...I could quit my job and sign up for a medical card up here..

 

[mrmax86]

If you replace Michigan's 56-10 victory over Hawaii with a 28-24 victory over UCLA, their current SOS jumps from 108th to 60th.

In my simulated post-week-13 view, their SOS goes up from 70th to 32nd!

Tennessee still shows above them.

 

[engineerVOL]

For those that pay better attention than me, what has happened to Pitt this year? Mediocre 6-4 with a chance to lose last two. Was Slovis overrated or did he get hurt? Their defense was pretty good and stud RB. Usually a recipe for success, are they Yankee Kentucky?
