Right where we want to be

[EastOrange#GBI]

I think everyone is sleeping on our Vols. Very little media coverage, no scandals, no headlines. It’s right where we want to be. Let em sleep on us. If the defense and run game show up we will literally end Ryan Days career at Ohio State. The only thing that worries me is the Refs. It’s a huge black eye for the big 10 if we walk out of there with a W. I still like where we’re at though. As always GBDO

If PSU loses tOSU will probably move up and PSU will probably slide down to 8th. Things above UT will change, don't think UT will jump anybody though.

I agree. I’m very interested to see how this group shows up in these playoffs.

And, no matter what happens, I feel like I’m playing with house money. This is a year earlier than I expected, and I think there will be other trips in the future.

But I wouldn’t bet against this team this year.

PS — officiating concerns me, too

I think PSU will still host, otherwise teams will avoid the conference championship in the future.

They still may host but we’d be going to Happy Valley rather than Columbus.

I’m not afraid for our boys playing on the road, but I’m going to be sad if we don’t get to show college football how great our fans can be at Neyland when it’s win or stay home.

I think this is most likely. It avoids the chance of OSU and Oregon in the next game.

Chance of Hosting CFP Game: 18.7%
Chance of Playing at OSU: 72.3%
Chance of Playing PSU: 12.6%
Chance of UT Playing in Friggin' Cold Weather in Round 1: 1,000%%

If Penn State and or Georgia lose, do we move up a spot in ranking/seeding?

Oh they already know and they don't want fans shutting the other guys down. Not that Happy Valley or Horsehoe are neutral fields but they don't get louder that Sanford, Bryant stadium, The Swamp or Tiger Stadium. We are conditioned to handle their fans they absolutely are not ready for what our fans will put in their ears.

That's a good question but The committee has maintained that wins over top 25 teams are what their first thing to look at. If Georgia beats Texas badly how can they not at least have conversation of putting us in 8 and Texas in 7or 9. I get they are playing in conference championship but they avoided everyone and lost badly at home when and a second time on neutral field to the team that we had tied up at halftime in their stadium.

 

[Other_Guy]

I've seen them play PSU (and ND) please give me OSU.

Maybe if they both get blown out?

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

We're locked into the playoffs. Hell of an accomplishment at the end of the regular season. Damn right, we're right where we need to be

 

[aaronvol]

If Clemson wins does Bama slide out?

 

[volfannga]

Why not flip the discussion a bit. Do you think Ryan Day is sitting at home being thankful he only has to go thru Tennessee - even if it is at home? I don't think so.
