Tennessee > Bama

[AdoptedVOL]

No. TN wins that matchup with healthy players way more often than not. Clemson is not near where they were ranked. Carolina got drummed by several teams and were inconsistent all year.

I agree. I don't think you can only look at a head to head game as a deciding factor.

 

[JMSqb11]

Without a bad loss, who takes their spot? It’s not gonna be a 1 loss Ohio state? If they get jumped (and the consensus is, they won’t), it would have to be Bama with no bad losses.
I’d love for it to be us but we have 2 losses, one by 2 scores and the other being a beat down where we lost our qb . That’s a hard sell.

If #3 loses a game to a 3 loss team ranked 10-12, they will drop out of the top 4. Y’all are on drugs if you think they would stay idle or drop just 1 spot with a loss…. Lmao.

 

[bpalmer28]

#3 losing a game to a 3 loss team will 10000% drop them out of the top 4…. You literally can’t even come up with an scenario where they would stay at #3 or just drop 1 spot to #4 with a loss… especially when 2-3 teams behind them are idle… are you saying that even if they lose, they would stay ahead of the idle teams? I pray you aren’t gonna say yes. Because if you do, you might be on some substance

YES

Bro you guaranteed Tennessee would make the playoff and guaranteed that LSU would be ranked above USC at the end of the regular season. Both predictions proved to be wrong literally a week later lol.

 

[JMSqb11]

YES

Explain it then. Tell me how the number 3 team in the land stays in the 3 spot or drops just one spot to 4 with a loss to a 3 loss 10-12 ranked team?

Breakdown that math for all to see.

 

[s_wall98]

YES

It’s becoming more and more apparent that some of our fans don’t pay attention unless UT is in the mix

I said if Tennessee goes 11-1, they are in the playoff.

I said if LSU runs table and goes 11-2 SEC champs, they would be in the playoff boxing out USC….

You don’t understand the word “if”, clearly. I was pretty clear on my stance for weeks.

Ohio ST will be sitting there with 1 loss

Bama hasn’t lost in a bit and they lost 2 very close games.

Tennessee got 63 hung on them.

And I’m a Tennessee Homer


It doesn’t matter now if Georgia, Michigan or TCU were to all lose……their in.

it’s either USC, Bama or OSU

Very interesting topic.

OSU got destroyed at home
Bama while 10-2 has no real quality wins
Tennessee has a bad loss on road and lost Heisman contender QB

We are 2 games away from pure chaos.

Unfortunately for all us TN homers, this is the way it comes down. (In my not so humble opinion)

 

[Gatlinburgvol]

The thing that gets me is the comment that Alabama lost 2 games on the last play of the game. But I will contend that Alabama won 3 games on the last play(Texas, Texas A&M, Ole Miss). Yeah Bama could be undefeated, but they also could easily have 5 losses.

Tennessee should be ranked ahead of bama.

No, I’m not that foolish. Talking to you about this stuff right now is a waste of time. Watch the CFP ranking show Monday night for yourself if interested. I’m sure they’ll lay it out better than I can on a message board anyway. Or you could just compare the resumes of teams being considered

Lol. All I asked for is you to explain how #3 could lose to #10-12 and stay at #3 or drop just one spot to #4 and you can’t even do that…. You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Especially since the ranking show is on Tuesday

Good try but that all makes Waaaayyy too much sense.

I’d gladly have the conversation with a rational person. But you come across as a narcissistic clown.

So you can’t answer or explain your position with a formidable answer? Lol

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Weak troll attempt. Bama had a piss easy schedule and lost to any team with any fight.

I believe Alabama has, according to rankings, a very strong strength of schedule rating. If you can show otherwise, please do.

My prediction for this week: 1. UM or GA, 2. UM or GA, 3. TCU, 4. USC, 5. OSU, 6. AL, 7. TN

well there won’t be any chaos this year really.

if USC wins they deserve it

If USC were to lose and the committee gives it to OSU…….Bama can only blame themselves……they lost twice. And OSU has a marquee win.

if USC were to lose and the committee gives it to Bama……Ohio ST really don’t have an argument. They lost big at home in their biggest game by a lot. Also Bama has a much better SOS.

Tennessee can’t be in the mix because two other teams would definitely be ahead of them and all three sitting at home not playing.

While Tennessee has a good resume Losses play into that as well. Tennessee has 2 and lost late and lost bad……..REAL bad.

No doubt about it the playoff will consist of:

Michigan
Georgia
TCU

All locks

USC if they win

If USC loses its OSU or Bama.

Technically I think (just me personally) I think OSU should only move 4 spots and stay ahead of Bama (4 spots but gain one back with the LSU loss) OSU at 5 and Bama at 6; however I believe Bama will be put into the 5th spot.

What is OSU’s marquee win?

And I humbly disagree on TCU. They have to win next week to get in. No way they can lose to a 3 loss Kansas State and not drop in the rankings and stay in the playoff….

 

[greenbacknative]

Is SC > TN?

no. just peaking at the right time..

P-ST will be ranked 8th beating them by 13 on the road is definitely a marquee win.

who in the world would pass TCU now? They are 12-0. They have the best SOR in all of college football and a better SOS than Georgia, Mich, Ohio ST, USC and have taken Care of business…….they are in.

I don’t think folks understand how far ahead those top 3 are going to be right now……..WAY far ahead.
