Not if bama and Clemson lose. Also one of Michigan and Ohio State will lose. So I think if we win out the top 4 will be:
1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. What ever team
4. Tennessee
And honestly I could see us being number 3

Sadly i think 11-1 Tennessee will be on the outside looking in

My problem is we (Vols fans) are in this situation because we set ourselves up…. We got beat bad tonight but yet we still think we are the best team in the country and think we will win it all in the end….check into reality bro… 11-1 is great but ask coach hype and he isn’t living with a moral victory tonight like some of you

At the start of the year would you have taken a 11-1 record. And nobody is saying we are still the best team in the country. We are just saying the season is not over. But that’s ok you would rather co cry a River and complain about our best season in 20 damn years

I think it was more of not seeing the receivers covered as good as they were tonight than the atmosphere. I think Hooker is used t having his receivers wide open by several steps due to really good receivers and schemes that cause busted coverages. He didn't see that tonight, because the defense was not having busted coverages, and their secondary was as good as our receivers.

I can agree with that. He was not his normal decisive self and it hurt us. I think Coach Heupel and Coach Golish were frustrated because they couldn't get a play that Hendon was able to read like they were used to.

So a what if, because it is on my mind watching LSU and Bama - what if LSU wins and in the SEC championship game and then beats UGA - does a 2 loss LSU team become one of the four? Or does the committee take a 1 loss SEC team over them, which may be the team they beat? Or does the committee for the first time ever not select an SEC team?

And this is a possibility right now.

LSU and UGA go to playoffs in your scenario IMO. Hard to take two teams from a conference and leave their champion out.

No they didn’t. Hooker overthrew Hyatt in the 1st quarter for a sure TD. There were several other times our WR’s had a step on their DB’s as well. Hell he overthrew Fant as well late in the game running down the sideline.

Yeah he had his shots. Never thought he’d miss all of them.

Both examples you mention are plays where the DBs had Hyatt and Fant covered better than what Hooker normally sees in our offense.

I am into reality, bro, you are the one that is not. Not even the most delusional fan on here will say we have been the best team in the county for a while. They are still my favorite team and my alma mater. I am not living with a moral victory, but even you in your blind defense of your stance can say that you actually thought we would even be having this conversation. If you do not want to enjoy this season, more power to you. I choose to see the forest in spite of the trees.

I hope Heupel doesn't take this as a moral victory and uses it to whip the team into a frenzy to smash our last three opponents.

We got our hats handed to us today by a program that has been built well for years. There's no shame in losing to them, especially at their home. It's a learning experience in the building process. I like how our team never bowed their heads and fought to the end. That's a good sign.

We can end this season 11-1 and still make the playoffs with help here and there. If so, we can make some more loud noise. However it ends, we will be recruiting on a very positive note. We need a few top five classes and we're where we want to be with this coach.

The shame is how we lost. UGA has struggled most of the year aside from one game. We looked completely unprepared.

No your the dumb one. If you can’t see that we were never supposed to be here and yet we have had our best season in twenty years I don’t know what’s wrong with you. And guess what we can still make the playoffs. Because I don’t know if your dumbass watches football other than to cry about Tennessee, but Clemson and bama are losing. And guess what little one, if they lose and tcu loses we get in the 4th spot. But nah go cry into your pillow and tuck your tail because we lost to the best team in the country

Bless your heart. None of that matters. It's what the committee sees. Those games are early and will probably not stand up. The same as the OSU game earlier today. Never said it wasn't a great season and you actually made my case for me when you stated and I quote "we were never supposed to be here". Oh, and its "YOU'RE".

Even if Clemson and Michigan lose? Cause that’s absurd if you think that

I don't think Clemson will lose and an 11-1 Michigan team could still be in the Playoffs as a #4 team. There has been a history of Tennessee getting screwed in the past.

So we didn’t want to catch deep balls? I think you’ve watched too many football movies

We missed the deep balls because Hooker knew he had to get rid of the ball quickly. The Georgia defense got in his head, and that's exactly what you want. That leads to poor execution. GA broke the will of our offensive line.

We were never good enough to be ranked #1. It was an illusion and at least a year too soon. Not a chance in hell we make the CFP with this loss. Anyone that thinks differently is delusional. Be mad, incredulous, etc, and so on but it won't change a thing.

Before today, who else was deserving of being #1? There was no arguement; nobody could touch our resume

Maybe LSU - but not Alabama. Bama fans would not be happy with a non-playoff bowl. TN and probably LSU as well would love a Sugar Bowl birth and bring tons of revenue in for the bowl game.

I could see 11-1 Tennessee playing 11-1 Liberty or 11-2 Oregon in the Cotton Bowl or maybe playing North Carolina in the Orange Bowl.
