Time to End Guarantee Game??

After thinking about it, I would be fine with dropping the every year game with bama. If you go unbeaten in the SEC your in the title game most years anyways. If bama is still tops in the west, we would meet them in the SEC title game anyways. If we could sub in a Miss State or an Ole Miss/Arkansas or whatever for bama once and a while, we would stand a much better chance at a title game. JMO

This thread is about UT football and gets moved from the football board but there is a thread titled "What's Vandy's Problem" on the football board?

I guess some mod thinks that it's their job to shape some sort of message for the University? Idk, makes no sense.

I believe that threads pertaining to this topic were started on both forums, obviously with different titles, but the thread on this forum predated the one on the Football Forum.

And, yet, Alabama won and Tennessee went on to lose the Chick-Fil-A bowl. If you want to be technical about it, every single game is of absolute importance to the national title race.

There's nothing technical about it. It's a fact of life.

If you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best.

At some time, you have to pull away from the breast-milk, and beat the best: Dools or Queen Kiffy never learned that.

I think Barbara Dools and Monte Kiffy, are still breast-feeding.

p.s. Knox gets more love than Queen Kiffy.

I really don't think anyone in the SEC audience cares too much if Alabama and Tennessee continue to play. But LSU wants no part of Florida, even if the Gators don't share those sentiments. They are desperately trying to figure out how to get past the Crimson Tide, and have figured out their annual meeting with the orange and blue, ain't how to do it. Given these last years of dominance, including a woodshed moment in the NC game, this is simply the best that Les Miles and company can come up with.

9 conference games should settle the latest feelings of inequity, but I'm not sure there is a cure for overwhelming feelings of inferiority, these days, down in Baton Rouge. 9 SEC games and all rivalries should be possible and as an added bonus, the SOS is part of a SEC resume no one can overlook in the 4 team playoff.

Thats the extra wiggle room needed. The SEC (short of an all out mess) is gonna be represented with at least 1 team.

Id rather see the SEC go to 9 games anyway. The 4 team playoff makes that easier IMO.

It's the only major thing that they should be considering down in Florida. 9 conference games and a lot of inequity will be solved. The worst transgressor being these cupcake games, SEC teams are scheduling, by the bushel, that universities are charging full price to see.

Id rather UT pick up an extra conference game and keep Bama on the schedule. Recent history aside, UT needs to step its game up.

As a fan of good football I want to see UF/LSU and UGA/AU as well.

LSU's situation is no different than what Tennessee faced when Spurrier had Florida at their best. Sometimes two of the top 5 teams in the country are in the same conference division. It happens. I will play devil's advocate on this matter and state that one reason I do not care for a nine-game conference schedule is that it almost certainly will eliminate marquis intersectional games during the regular season. Ohio State pulled out of their scheduled series with us for this precise reason. Tennessee has a tradition, probably more so than any other SEC program, of scheduling Notre Dame, USC, Penn State, etc. (And, no, Florida-FSU doesn't count; it is an intrastate rival, albeit a strong one.) We have Oklahoma and Nebraska looming in the near future and we have never played either of them in the regular season before. I really look forward to those matchups and they almost certainly would go the way of the passenger pigeon with a nine-game conference schedule.

Very short sighted article. Instead of an all in or all out approach, allow the participating schools to decide to keep the game. Bama, UT, UGA, and the Barn will want to keep the permanent game while all the other may want to rotate. If the do, let the other 10 schools rotate and is four to keep our games.

I for one hope we never loose the bama game It's hard to explain to outsiders ( they say why would you want to play the top team every year ) I honestly don't know why I want to keep the series but all I know is I do it is just part of being a big orange fan BEAT BAMA
