The Bracket

[TexasVolfan1]

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

I mean future playoff matchups

 

[Golfprovol]

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.

Texas is playing much better and that was the best game Georgia played all year

Actual footage of me explaining to the committee why the h*ll Bama doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

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

Yes. We all need to be huge Texas fans Saturday

 

[C-south]

Yes. We all need to be huge Texas fans Saturday

And maybe Clemson.

I watched Ewers almost give the game away last week to A&M.

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

If we do end up at OSU I'm assuming it will be the Noon game on 12/21. Which sucks imo.

 

[AthensVol2007]

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

Unless championship losers lose by 20+ I don’t see anything changing from what they presented tonight. They’re going to remain slotted 5-8 barring blowouts. Best case scenario IMO is PSU getting demolished and them being 0-2 vs the only 2 teams on their schedule worth a damn. Perhaps they can call to 9 and everyone slides up.

5) ND
6) UGA/OSU
7) UGA/OSU
8) UT
9) PSU
10) IU
Etc etc

 

[TexasVolfan1]

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.

Right, conference championship games will have an effect. I was referring to the committee changing seeding to avoid potential rematches in the playoffs

 

[JMSqb11]

And maybe Clemson.

We want Clemson to win solely for booting the gumps out.

 

[ftsandersvol]

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

It’s called corruption to the core.

Just a question? If TN does lose, do we still get to go to a bowl game considering the second round is bowl games?

Clemson will win, and the committee will boot an 11-2 SMU team.

No

 

[Vols1891]

Because we will get jumped by two of the following: 1) SMU/Clemson, 2) Boise State, and 3) Arizona State/Iowa State. That pushes up back two spots to 9th.

Possible. Georgia and OSU getting hammered would be nice

 

[volfannga]

Best OSU and Oregon and if we fall in the semis I can live with it for bursting everyone’s Big Ten hard on.

Or we beat OSU, then Oregon and Penn St. Now wouldn't that be a message to the rest of college football - and especially to the Not-So-B1G

We won't get jumped

 

[CAVPUT]

Why does Bama get an easier path than us? What is this garbage? On the road to Ohio state then #1 Oregon? How does that make any sense?

Rhetorical? They're bama and we ain't. Not that hard and totally expected.

The music city bowl will always be there, patiently waiting for the Vols.

 

[89 VOLS grad]

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

Yes, but Bama got embarrased by a 500 team, 3 points scored. As usual, the committee will find a way to screw us and reward Bama. Give the damn bracket to a computer that takes in strength of schedule and opponents strength of schedule as the highest percentages in the formula. Then, the SEC can play top non conference teams and END THE BIG TEN BIAS as well as the Bama and ND bias!!!

 

[allvols4life]

The b1g slanted board wants the SEC out and this is how they protect their snowflake powder puff conference

 

[C-south]

I don’t see that but who knows what level of corruption they’ll stoop to.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Yep. Knew we would get screwed.

We can beat OSU, Oregon, and PSU.
