Tennessee is ranked #5 in the latest AP Top 25

[SpookyAction]

I think the AP and Coaches Polls think more of UT than the Playoff Comittee.

Same here but...............
KState beat the brakes off Baylor yesterday

They seem have the same ranking in all 3, don’t they?

USC lost to Utah. That should be a disqualifier in itself.

There will most likely be a rematch in the Pac-12 conference game. USC could get a boost if they win big..

Politics and back door pressure involved.

At the moment.
The Playoff Committee is setting up UT to slide for 1 Loss Conference Champions.
We will require some teams to lose to keep our ranking in the Playoff list.
On simple terms when choosing the best football teams in the two voting polls, UT will always be higher than in the politcal Playoff ranking.

Wild that Portnoy has us behind LSU and Bernardino has us behind Alabama. The latter is determined to keep Alabama pegged above us.

Still hopeful Baylor knocks off TCU for us

Baylor lost 31-3 to Kansas State yesterday, they are not beating TCU.

Our best chance is for Ohio St to put a beatdown on Michigan,that will be our opening for a spot!

USC has UCLA and ND..........plus the Pac12 CG. They could really bolster their resume.


Hate to say it , but.......Go Irish!

Lorda mercy, I gotta pull for ND twice in one year? Glad I'm going to church tonight so I can repent
