SEC EAST what must happen today??

While we are not mathematically eliminated, all we need to worry about as Vol fans is our team winning. IF we win out, east or not, I'd be over the moon happy. Bowl eligible is the goal right now. Those extra practices and the extra coaching time is invaluable, not to mention it's always great when recruits see you go to a bowl after having struggled under the former coaching regime. It's tangible proof we're righting the ship.

Now, if it comes down to the last weekend and we're still somehow in the hunt, then I'll go ape**** crazy.

OP dont listen to idiots like these who cant count past 45 (hands, toes, and teeth). Joevol, this may sound like witchcraft to you, so get your holy water and go cry to your local shepherd tomorrow because you need to be told an overly simplified cartoon version of reality. Anyway, OP as far as what NEEDS to happen today for us to remain alive in the east it is pretty simple (to be fair to these douchebags, it is complicated as to all the ways we CAN reach the SEC championship game):

First, as of now:

Missouri 3-1
USC 5-2
UGA 3-2
UF 3-2
UT 1-3

UGA & UF play each other, if we knew the winner it would make things a bit more narrow but anyway, one will be 4-2 and the other 3-3 (both beat us)

so.... without going into the complicated scenarios that lead to us winning the east, all that HAS to happen today is that we beat Missouri to put them 3-2 and us at 2-3. To keep it simple, in all scenarios we either want to be in a head to head tie at 5-3 with Missouri or USC.

Because of how the tie breaker rules for more than two teams work, in some cases its advantageous for us to have UGA win today, in others UF. We will also need UF to beat USC or USC finishes 6-2 and we are out. So if UF beat UGA, we would need them to lose to Vandy or else they would finish 6-2. However, if UGA wins, it can get a bit more complicated as far as what we would need to happen down the road. Anyway, im going to try to keep it simple so just remember this. We want a three way tie breaker whittled down by the rules to where its UT and USC or Missouri in a head to head tie.

Also, the rules if you are interested:

SEC Divisional Tie-Breaker > SEC > NEWS

if you need help following a particular path just post it and ill be glad to do what i can. the most important thing is that we win out though.

Go back in time and convince the coach to have the balls to start the freshmen instead of messing around with Worley and Peterman.

Tell Pig to not throw the ball at the pylon on 2nd down.

Then, just win out.


simple enough.

We get it, you hate Worley, even though Ferguson and Dobbs had EVERY opportunity to beat him out and didn't do it. Go to Hart's office and lobby for the job, since you know everything about these players. My god.

After the week I have had, I needed a laugh. The replies posted on this thread did the trick. You guys are truly funny. Well done. For those serious about this topic like the OP, sorry.

You other comedians had me rolling.

Here's to a good game tonight!

Go vols.k

Cocaine is a helluva drug. :) But seriously, we have to win out and be tied in the loss column with South Carolina. Georgia & Florida must lose 4 league games as the both beat us, and we have already lost three. That is all that needs to happen. Lose tonight and we are mathematically eliminated.
