The Official #7 Tennessee @ #12 Georgia Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[Lankykong]

On the go ahead TD where Beck ran it in, 57 tried to trip Pierce and 53 had Norman-Lott in a bear hug from behind and they called defensive holding on Boo. That was a bad no call on GA D-Line.

I think the defensive holding was after the line of scrimmage was crossed as well, so it seemed kind of questionable

What's Penn states, Texas, BYU, and Indiana's quality win....I'll wait

The answer is obvious. Unfortunately there is too much bias on the committee. Too much money involved now too. Starting to feel like I’m watching fixed games at times too…

 

[Orange931]

UGA beat Clemson, Texas, and us. Bama beat UGA, SC, LSU, and mizzou. We beat bama.

LSU and Mizzou are both out of the Top 25 now. Those are not quality wins.

Lol. They don’t have losing records. Keep the hope alive. In a couple weeks you’ll be saying “ maybe next year”.

 

[Orange931]

Neither does Florida and they beat LSU. Is that a quality win for us? Will a win over Vandy be a quality win for us and they beat Bama?

We are dropping outside the top 12. We won’t be moving up after that even if a few teams ahead of us lose.

That might be true but it doesn’t make it right. We’ll see if they do the right thing.

 

[Andrew8210]

I wonder if any team besides Georgia has 3 wins over teams that are currently in the top 20.

 

[deatojl]

UGA beat Clemson, Texas, and us. Bama beat UGA, SC, LSU, and mizzou. We beat bama.

So Bama beat Georgia, a three loss South Carolina team that’s barely in the top 25, and some unranked teams along with their losses to Tennessee and Vandy.

 

[adam.vol]

IMO he needs to take the damn fine and say it. LOUDLY

Absolutely. I’d force them to suspend me after tonight’s debacle.

 

[C-south]

That might be true but it doesn’t make it right. We’ll see if they do the right thing.

How is it not right? I mean this isn’t a surprise. We knew what we had to do and didn’t do it. Records matter and the “sec is holier than everyone else” mentality won’t matter. There will probably be 4 sec teams in and they will have looked better than we have.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

I’m not a dude to F with. I’m a serious Vol
Fan that doesn’t mind putting his mouth near his fists. I hate Dog fans fans beyond all else. If folks want to talk the talk, I’m ready to walk the walk. As I’ve notified everyone on FB on my end, I’ll even let the Dawg fans take the first swing. I’m tired of talk. Let’s get it own. Bring it. I’m very, very, very comfortable in my skill set.

Why play the games if head to head don't matter? Riddle us that one

It’s not right because we have a head to head win over a team with the same record. And we’re about to blow the doors off the other team they lost to in that stadium. They beat Georgia by 7 at home and we lose by 14 away. That’s how it’s not right. And BARELY escaped SC by 2 points at home.

Not a terrible idea.

Which head to head hasn’t mattered? It gets a bit more complicated when there’s more than one loss and other factors come into play. Things like who you lost to, strength of schedule, and by seeing how you have played.

Well you are free to have your own criteria but sadly it won’t be what they use.

I’m not saying they will, but that’s how it should be. We can only speculate at this point.

If UT and Bama end up both at 10-2, H2H should matter....I'm sure you'll say but they beat UGA....well they lost to vandy and if we're 10-2 that means we beat them.

Which one are you posting up at?

 

[Volfan1000]

We are asking Sampson and the defense to do too much.

Georgia's tight ends killed us all game long.

This team does not have any receivers that can consistently go vertical.

We are out of the College Football Playoff race and will have to settle for a second tier bowl.

As long as Smart is at Georgia, Tennessee will have a difficult time beating them.

 

[C-south]

If they were both 11-1 it would matter more.

What criteria will they use? They seem to be switching it
