The Bracket

[BigOrangeTrain]

Bunch of bull ****. But expected bull ****.

Yep. Knew we would get screwed.

 

[CaliVol2009]

Everyone who has lost in the last month of the season has dropped between 5 and 7 spots.

But not f’n Ohio St who took one of the worst losses of the season dropping a home game to a .500 team and only drop four places. Ridiculous.

Difficult not to be angry about this.

I hear ya, we will beat their ass though.

 

[Cartervol]

That's about the biggest Fu they could do to Tennessee.. Couple weeks ago we had to play UGA staring at 3 losses and just about forgotten if we hand them a 3rd loss. To this having to go on the road to columbus with Ryan Day's job on the line. They hate Tennessee and this shat confirms it.

 

[Majors]

How do we move up in the poll and still remain the 9 seed. I don't understand it anymore

All about ESPN TV match ups for the first round.

 

[KeyVol14]

Those are two different things

We were ranked #8 in the CFP last week and seeded as the number 9 seed...this week we moved to #7 and still the 9 seed is what I'm saying. I wasn't referring to the AP poll

 

[Volinnooga]

The real problem is the stupid format of the brackets.

 

[Frozevol]

They'll get waxed and we'll do it all again next year.

It’s what Sankey signed up for!

 

[C-south]

If Georgia loses they will (should) drop a couple spots and shift everyone up a spot.

 

[Volholic]

Well if this is how it is… I hope we beat the piss out of OSU

 

[Mccage]

I don’t get how Alabama is in and Miami is out. The bias is insane. I’m very objective so someone please help me understand. I don’t get it.

If it stays as is Alabama has the easiest path also

 

[Godfatha]

Farse committee with their B1G bias

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

If Georgia loses they will (should) drop a couple spots and shift everyone up a spot.

Yep. We should be rooting for Texas. If UGA wins I doubt they drop Texas below us, unless it's a blowout then maybe but even then I doubt it. Penn St might drop below us if they lose, it would be their 2nd loss.

 

[VolForLife83]

We've got the toughest row to hoe. At least we made it I guess

 

[newyorkvol]

Screw it. I’m gonna watch bball.

 

[Boston Vol]

I don’t get how Alabama is in and Miami is out. The bias is insane. I’m very objective so someone please help me understand. I don’t get it.

Miami’s best win is either Duke or Louisville. They have nothing to stand on.

 

[Boston Vol]

How do we move up in the poll and still remain the 9 seed. I don't understand it anymore

Seeds and rankings are different things.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

If Georgia loses will they drop to the nine spot and go play Ohio state and will we move up to the seven and play Indiana at home ?

I don't think they'll drop UGA below us for losing to No. 2, since they beat us. They might drop Penn State below both OSU and us, if they are not competitive with Oregon since OSU beat PSU.

 

[valoisvol]

Travesty. College football just gets worse and worse

 

[snappervol]

How did UGA advance 2 spots following their near loss to the Ramblin’ Wreck, and the Vols move up a single spot following our total beat down against Vandy? In truly thought OSU would fall behind both UT and UGA in the rankings.
Our only hope to host now appears to be a total beat down of PSU by the Ducks. If PSU does get hammered, they could fall 4 spots and out them behind the good guys.
What say you ?

 

[kcvols1]

Just point us in the direction of whoever’s arse we have to kick!

 

[Swiftybaby]

Here’s to hoping bama gets waxed by whoever they play

 

[C-south]

Yep. We should be rooting for Texas. If UGA wins I doubt they drop Texas below us, unless it's a blowout then maybe but even then I doubt it. Penn St might drop below us if they lose, it would be their 2nd loss.

If UGA wins they will likely just swap spots with Texas . Same with Oregon vs PSU. The smu Clemson game is moot but might bump out bama should Clemson win.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Wish we were 11 or 15th. Definitely in the toughest bracket

 

[Rocky Top T]

Need Texas to beat Georgia, we should move up a spot

 

[TheVolsFrog]

The CFP committee needs to be revamped along with along with this playoff format.
Really needs more laid out and defined rules that has to be followed.
Bama getting in ticks me off more than not hosting
