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

[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.

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.

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.

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

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

 

[VOLtaism]

This was a playoff game and we lost. End of story. It can't be stretched into playoff berth. Things were decided on the field.

 

[vol94]

He only had 4 possessions in the 2nd half.

On 2 of those possessions he led the offense to the UGA 40 yard line. Then we committ a False Start and Delay of Game forcing us to punt.
On 1 of those possessions the game was out of reach

The defense really didn't give him much of an opportunity to put the game in Nico's hands.

True. Just making a point. He was under duress too. Kirby w delayed blitz without showing.

 

[C-south]

Records. Strength of schedule. How you have looked. The same people crying are the ones saying the Arkansas loss was a freebie.

I expected this much for home cooking. It was the overturned fumbles that got me triggered.

Still a bad no call.

I feel like there’s a lot of play with the variables you’re mentioning as strength of schedule is subjective as is how you have looked when ranking teams

No it’s not. It’s based on the records of the teams you play. There’s nothing subjective about wins and losses until you’re tied with someone and on the outside looking in. Then it’s still not that subjective.

 

[VolRage]

I’ve got family that are diehard Dawg fans yet they were born in TN. I’m tired of their cheating BS and running their mouths recklessly. Either man up or shut up. Folks that truly know me, this 55 year old dude is ready to rumble if folks want to flap their gums. I’m legit and very, very, very, very, very comfortable with backing up my mouth. Georgia fans can come get some. As usual they can swing first. I’m always game. Hence, my call sign, VolRage. I’m nobodies easy target. I’m sick of Georgia fans and their arrogance.
