The Playoffs

I totally agree we need not panic about the playoffs (tho for different reasons, TCU and Mich/OSU will lose)

One point of contention is the Top 25 wins

We have 2-3 of those. It matters how that team ends up not what they are ranked when you beat them

If that does indeed happen, KSU will run into one pi**ed bunch of Volunteers.

I hope it would play out that way if it comes to that and UT misses the CFP. I hope it wouldnt turn into one of these opt-out fests where all the best players sit out. Sadly thats what the playoff has done to even these traditionally, big-time bowls

My hot take for the playoffs. LSU beats UGA in SECCG. The committee goes into SEC nightmare mode and we have the following.
1) OSU 13-0 Big10 champ
2) TCU 13-0 Big12 champ
3) USC 12-1 Pac 12 champ
4) Clemson 12-1 ACC champ

If Georgia doesn't lose to Kentucky and LSU they are in. They can lose to either and make it.

My fiance has never been to NOLA. I realize it is a rougher city now than years past but, we would like to go to a Tennessee game there. Getting in the playoffs would be amazing. I hope the Vols get a fair deal from the "big pockets" and "big mouths" on TV and radio. The sports business turns me off big time. TCU does not belong in the playoffs nor does Ohio State/Michigan based on the schedule they have played.

Prognosticators seem to think we get in at #4 even if TCU wins out.
USC still has tough games against UCLA and Notre Dame.

If TCU loses, we're likely in at #3.

Worst case we're being predicted in the Orange Bowl against Bama.

The chance that all 5 of those would occur is .013%

That means less than 1%
Less than a quarter of 1%

Stop operating in ridiculous insanities.

I STG this fan base must all be sadistic in the head

One thing that can hurt TCU is that every team in the Big 12 has at least 2 losses most if them 3 except TCU

If we win out these last 2 games (whether we make the playoffs or not), Josh Heupel should be voted national college coach of the year!

This we can all agree on.

Well, almost all, I forgot it is VN.

Let's just make it past Saturday against the gamecocks! That's a real trap game and they don't have nothing to lose...game is more meaningful than anything else right now and South Carolina is capable.

It’s good to even be having this conversation. My hopes:
Georgia gets the 1 spot. We get the 3 spot. We play for all the marbles in the championship. I believe the is a likely scenario.
USC will drop one - book it
Baylor will give TCU all it can handle. Baylors record means nothing in this game. This is Baylors bowl game. It’s personal for Baylor. I predict TCU falls this Saturday or to Kstate.
I am holding on to us making it to the 3 spot.
Call me Sunshine Johnie but none of this was supposed to even happen this year for us.

I think it's definitely worth being on the lookout for scenarios that keep us out of the playoff. We all want UGA to win out, TCU to lose one, OSU to blow out Michigan, and Clemson, UNC, and USC to all lose again. That's the best scenario we could hope for. But as far as the percentages you just never know. Going into this year UT being in the CFB Playoff had a 0.01% chance of happening. Not 1%. 0.01%. With college football never say never. Just hope for the best.

Both Reece Davis and Dick Vitale just said on KY MSU basketball game that they thought Tennessee was better than TCU and should be in the playoffs.

Ik someone would bring that up.

Analytics to start a year are much less of a factor as compared to ones with an entire season of data. I get the point, but I think these oddball lighting-strike scenarios are taking up way too much room.

Mentionable?

Maybe. But just no reason for them to be talked about this continuously
