The Bracket

[JMSqb11]

I’d rather be the 11 or 12 seed at this point, look at those cakewalks lol. But no, we have to go through OSU on the road then if we pass that test, get to face the best team in the country. Joy.

I’m sorry but i am thrilled at the chance to see the Vols play in the Rose Bowl

They literally said the teams who aren’t playing are settled into their slots because they can’t do anything.

He said their order won't change compared to other teams that are not playing. But the teams that are playing can change places...

They literally said the teams who aren’t playing are settled into their slots because they can’t do anything.

They said the teams on the outside looking in aren’t moving up. There can still be some shuffling for those already in including being bumped out.

Alabama will not thump anyone. They are horrible, should not be in the field and I hope Notre Dame kicks their tooth in.

Just watch, bama with 3 losses gonna be the next NC. I'm disgusted too!

 

[hog88]

The committee is garbage

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Don't discount that devastating loss to Michigan. Confidence is suddenly shaken and enthusiasm has soured. I'm not picking Tenn because they suck on the road but it's not as bad of a draw as it could have been.

I think it’s a horrible draw.

We would get skull-dragged by Oregon.

 

[hUTch2002]

I hope it stays like this as we will beat Ohio State in their own house and I’ll enjoy every second of it.

 

[ZZ13]

Won't happen. We are hosting a first round game. They want UT out. Even if we win in Columbus we get to go to Pasadena and play the #1 ranked team. Worst bracket we could have been put in.

We got this. We are undefeated this year on the road against teams starting with an O. Ohio State. Oregon. It matters not. Bring them on.

 

[Go47]

But Bama isn't a 12 seed, they are #11 and go to ND.

I missed that.

 

[PA Vol]

If we have any chance, however late in the game, to not only beat OSU but to run the score up, I want to. And I want Indiana to lose by no less than 50 and Penn state to have their doors blown off. I want there to be no doubt that this committee has been bought a paid for.

 

[BDP!]

They have wins over 2 10-win teams. UF is probably Miami's best win....

But 2 losses to 2 6 win teams.

 

[Golfprovol]

Jesus, take a second and look at the bracket if Georgia wins..... they are gonna be screwed with SEC and Big10 rematches if they are not cateful

 

[allstar34bd]

If we beat Ar Kansas we don't have to worry about this... Win the games against inferior opponents..

 

[JMSqb11]

We would get skull-dragged by Oregon.

I don’t think so. We would definitely and rightfully be the underdog but I don’t think the talent gap is anything significant

 

[loservol]

Why does everyone think Texas beats UGA?

Sort of like Georgia didn't go to Texas and beat them convincgly so many weeks back. Being disrespected is the stuff that Kirby the butthead thrives on.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Jesus, take a second and look at the bracket if Georgia wins..... they are gonna be screwed with SEC and Big10 rematches if they are not cateful

They’ve said they won’t make any seeding changes based on matchups or potential rematches but at this point nothing they say matters lol

 

[loservol]

Teams not in conference championship games will not change due to no more data points....

....I got your data points right here you bald SOB !!!!

Pate being a butthead again? You can unsubscribe from his channel to get back at him.

 

[hUTch2002]

Definitely a pisser that they still have us behind the Suckeyes.

Maybe they will move us ahead of Ohio State next week. Ha!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

UGA and who else?

My mistake. 2 top 15 wins. USCe

 

[cobbwebb0710]

The bracket is horrible!

 

[Golfprovol]

It has to. Right now Texas has the bye and if they lose then Georgia gets it

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

BS that we are behind OSU after that humiliation they took Saturday. What a crock

 

[C-south]

They’ve said they won’t make any seeding changes based on matchups or potential rematches but at this point nothing they say matters lol

That can’t be possible. If Clemson wins that bumps someone out and it won’t be SMU. I would bet that would move smu closer to a 12 seed than a 5 so it could affect everyone who doesn’t win a conference championship.

 

[Ty4Vols]

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.

Well here's my guess but read the end and it will show the committee is a bit inconsistent.

Miami 10-2 SOS 55 and SOR 14

Bama 9-3 SOS 17 and SOR 10

Bama is afforded an additional loss and still determined to be the better team because their schedule allowed for it in comparison to Miami's schedule.

Side note, all 16 SEC teams are in the top 32 in SOS. Miami 55, Clemson 53 and SMU 75. This is why a SEC 3 loss team is considered better than an ACC 2 loss team. The entire schedule is just significantly more difficult in the SEC.

This is also why OSU 10-2 is ahead of UT 10-2.
OSU (SOS 26, SOR 6) is better (barely) than UT (SOS 28, SOR 7) in both SOS and SOR.

I say all this and the committee messes this up having SMU 11-1 (SOS 75 SOR 9) ahead of IU 11-1 (SOS 65 SOR 8).

My only guess is SMU is getting a bump for making their conference championship game whereas the others compared above are all staying home this weekend.

Just my 2 cents
