Visiting playoff Schools get only 3500 tickets.

[Vfl2407]

I finally found the answer to this question, in case the Vols get in and have to travel for first game.
This is all I could find on Ticketmaster.

Secondary market will be huge.
Guarantee if the Vols have to travel to Bloomington or Colombus there will be way more than 3500 in orange.

Does make me feel good that they must allocate no more than 500 for the band...meaning they encourage the full band to travel.

I hope the full POTS band travels but 500 seats is extremely tight for 415 band members when you factor in drums, sousaphones, etc.

We really need a home game.

If no shenanigans happen this coming weekend like the last then it’s important Texas beat UGA in the CCG. This is assuming we are ranked 8th, those ass clowns don’t put Indy in front of us and we give Vandy the business. We need to be at home to advance.

Indy is playing Purdue, sooooooooo...

I said this in the other thread - but beat Vandy and we will be hosting. Non-issue. (At least as it was explained to me- loser of SEC game would fall below us - whether Texas with no resume or UGA with third loss. Loser of SEC game won’t get knocked out of playoffs, but won’t be hosting anyone in this scenario.)

Exactly, we need Texas to beat Georgia in the SEC CG to drop them below us. Unless GTech wants to do the job this weekend

With all the 1 and 2 loss teams, hard to justify a 3 loss runner up.

That should be the case but I’m less confident that Texas falls behind us than UGA. They should but we aren’t as respected as other schools. I think we all know this even though it’s BS.

 

[Golfprovol]

Texas would probably not fall below us. Georgia is only 1 spot above us, so a loss and they will be behind us. Current projection says we need to move up 2 spots to host. We really need to POUND Vamdy and hope for some carnage above us.

If Georgia loses and is dropped from 12 team playoff,will that spell the end of SEC championship game?

If you think UGA drops behind UT with both having 10 wins and UGA winning head to head then I hate to tell you there is zero chance that is going to happen. That SEC championship loss would also be to the number 2 Texas team at that point.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Texas’ SOS is really weak. If they lose the SECCG convincingly they likely drop below us unless they dominate A&M, imo.

 

[Rememberthelate90s]

Yall think season ticket holders get an opportunity to buy their seats?

 

[kckempf]

I hope the full POTS band travels but 500 seats is extremely tight for 415 band members when you factor in drums, sousaphones, etc.

Don’t Big Ten schools have the opposing bands on the field? I remember Notre Dame does.

If Georgia loses they will still make the playoffs

Probably not as there has not been a year quite like this one. It isn't that the SEC has beaten up each other, it is other conferences have more decent teams.

All 4 conferences need to go to 16 teams and then the pod system. Playoffs start with pod winners, then the conference championship games, the the last 4 standing.

Actually gives you a true 16 team playoff.

So they don’t a drop a single spot having lost in the CCG? That seems more unlikely. If they lose that game they don’t deserve to host with three losses.

Could not disagree more. I would take Ole Miss, Bama, A&M, and even probably USCe right now in a playoff game against Indiana or Penn State.

How can you say the Big 10 has more decent teams when only 6 out of 18 teams have 7 wins to this point? The top of the league has beaten up on the mediocre bottom 3/4, while in the SEC there are really no 'automatic' road wins, and only MSU, UK, and maybe Auburn have been bad this year.

I don't like your pod system for the very reason that the four conferences aren't close to being equal. It sounds nice and clean until 3-4 SEC teams miss out to some dreck from the ACC or Big 12 that won their 'pod'. But it might be as good as anything else, because there is no system that includes four leagues that will ever really be 'fair', if there even is such a thing.

That's what I was thinking, I don't see how the loser of that game stays ahead of TN except through blatant bias. That could happen of course...

That’s saying we should sacrifice revenue so that other conferences can make more.

Let’s allow the CFP committee to redistribute our earnings. We can call it the Commie Cup Playoffs.

Never said those teams were better than SEC teams. Impossible to justify taking three loss teams over 1 loss teams regardless of who is better. We all know a 2 loss SEC team is usually better then a 1 loss Big10 team, but to justify that selection simply isn't possible.

In that format, the SEC would have 16 teams with 4 pods. Each pod winner would be seeded 1-4 and the SEC portion would begin. 1 plays 4 & 2 plays 3 - with the winners playing in the SEC championship. The winner of the SEC CG would represent the SEC in the final 4.
The same thing would happen in the other three conferences.

If some really good SEC team misses out then they either were not the best team in their pod or they lost early on in the tournament. Takes "selection committees" out of the equation.
