Vols at #5 CFP tonight? Nope, they're #7

[Rootyvol1998]

So the reasoning behind Bama ahead of us is that Hooker is out.

It should be what the team has done not what they can or will do.

THANK YOU!! For those of you that didn’t listen to the broadcast this is EXACTLY why. Makes total sense.

And Clemson falling 1 spot. What a crock

Clemson loses at home to SC.. . drops 1 spot. Vols go on the road at night and lose to SC. Media: "vOls aRe tRaSh"

 

[JMSqb11]

Boo- we have said for weeks Wins matter and for Bama, they had impressive wins over Texas and MSU.

Did he forget Tennessee’s two wins? Lmao.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I think y’all are letting this upset you way too much.

 

[The Vollipop Guild]

I know this sounds absolutely insane, so we will have to wait to see. My cousin has a friend that is close with the committee and he says we are jumping Ohio St and Bama for the #5 spot.
Now Georgia and Michigan are in no matter what, but if TCU or USC slips up we are in.

GBO- GO VOLS GO!

Welp so much for your intel

 

[Vols91]

This is bs!!! Beat Alabama head to head and we beat them. Another reason to hate them. Tricky Nicky is about done there be glad when he is gone!!! GBO

Well it should because we hate Bama and sick of their SEC privilege

 

[JoAllan]

how did anyone believe Tennessee would jump Bama because Tennessee stomped Vandy?

Tennessee is no longer the same team it was. Heck they could better (most likely not) but their definitely not the same without Hooker.

No it doesn’t.

 

[37027]

So basically; why even play other teams in the regular season if beating them doesn’t put you in over them?

That USCjr debacle wrecked us.

 

[Volhoops]

Bama lost two games by a total of 3 points
We lost two games by a total of 39. Our star qb out we would of lost probably 5 games . Right now we wouldn't beat Bama or any other team in front of us.

One of our losses was to the #1 team. Bama lost to a 3-loss LSU and a TN team that you are down grading without reason and refusing to take into account the head to head meeting which TN won. I don't think any of Bama's win came against opponents inside the top 14 as shown by this last ranking. Bama ahead of TN is a joke by any measure. Lose one player is not a definite loss. We were beating teams by 20-30 points. So you beat them by 10-15 points it's still a win.

 

[CR-vol]

All we had to do was take care of business. Just have to regroup and do better next year. Remember how everyone thought our last best shot was gone when Peyton went to the NFL.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

BS CFP rankings. That's a travesty

I think y’all are letting this upset you way too much.

I think you may feel different after you see what happens when USC and TCU lose this weekend

Yuuup.

You should leave the board on embarrassment.

 

[Vfl2407]

I think y’all are letting this upset you way too much.

I think it’s just a matter of fairness.
we should be 6 and Bama 7.
We beat Bama.
We routed the other team that beat Bama.
Those two things should Trump our rout loss at USCe and losing our starting QB to injury.

 

[Eastknox865]

I think this is actually a better position. Clemson in the Orange bowl is better than Kansas State in Sugar. If we aren't top four 6 or 7 does not matter

 

[rgvol]

Damn people why did you tune into that crap show? I damn sure didn't. GO VOLS! Vols had a great season I will not let ESPN or anyone else ruin that for me. Can't wait to watch the Vols in a great new years 6 bowl.

 

[Boston Vol]

I think you may feel different after you see what happens when USC and TCU lose this weekend

Unless TCU gets absolutely annihilated by KST, they’re in the playoff.

Tennessee is no longer the same team it was. Heck they could better (most likely not) but their definitely not the same without Hooker.

Then why not rank us 20th?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Given we know what the criteria is for selecting teams we absolutely should have jumped Bama. Bama has zero quality wins. And in CF wins is what matters. Do you honestly think OSU would just completely drop out if Stroud was hurt? No they wouldn’t. We are getting screwed plain and simple. It’s Bama bias.

Why shouldn’t us and Washington be ranked above Bama? We both have much better wins. It’s politics and bias. Nothing else.

 

[Volstylexx]

Here's my question. Why do we even play Bama every year if it doesn't matter when you beat them? Why schedule quality out of conference opponents when beating them doesn't matter? Michigan played no one and is sitting there about to head to the CFP.

 

[Cartervol]

As expected. The Bubba's and Suckeyes have that brand bias you have to compete with.
