Bama's also currently beaten 4 teams currently ranked in the committee's rankings: #12 Georgia (7-2), #21 South Carolina (6-3), #22 LSU (6-3), #23 Missouri (7-2). That's alot of what keeps buoying them up so much at 2 losses.

Does anyone else in the current rankings even have 3 wins against currently ranked teams?

South Carolina or Mizz may be unranked at end of season as they play one another. Jr also plays Clemson. LSU will be ranked unless they lose to Florida or Vandy.

Lot of football left but our head to head win over Bama should be enough for Vols if both end season 10-2.

To all the Vol fans complaining, our team brought this upon themselves. Had we beaten Arky and then lost to UGA, this wouldn’t be a conversation. But we crapped the bed and now we are paying for it. Does it suck? Yep. But it is what it is.

We had some bad luck hit us this year. Nobody expected NC ST and OU to be this horrible. We have to win out. Like the saying always goes, just win and it will take care of itself.

Yep. We have one good win and one bad loss. The rest of the games we played and won aren’t that impressive. We havent put together a great game all season. This team is very capable of winning it all but are leaving room for doubt with the voters.

Well they’re about to lose one of their Top 25 wins this weekend when Mizzou takes on South Carolina. I also think LSU will lose 1-2 more games as well and there goes another. Are they gonna do the right thing then? I doubt it.

So, you think LSU is going to lose potentially 2 games out of a remaining slate of Vanderbilt, 4-5 Florida, and 5-5 "I-just-fumbled-the-ball-5-times-last-week-to-make-15-turnovers-on-the-year" Oklahoma?

Yes, I think there’s a good chance of that. They’re out of the playoff now and I think they’re gonna take a hard tumble. I think they’ll lose to Vandy and an Oklahoma team that’s fighting for a bowl. I’m still not sure how South Carolina lost to them at home. LSU is not a great team.

South Carolina will more than likely beat Missouri. And you think LSU is losing 1-2 more games? To who???? They have UF, Vandy and OU. Vandy and OU are at home.

I actually thought we would get in with a close loss to Georgia because I thought we would move to the 5 spot. Now I see the committee is just setting us up so they can justify dropping us out of the top 12. Indiana and BYU jumping us is a joke.

Dude, UGA was 3rd then dropped 9 spots to 12 and out. They have the best win of the season and their 2 losses are to #10 and #11 on the road. Compare that to the Vols if we lose to UGA. We will have a worse loss and a lower ranked top win. Doesn’t matter if we are ranked 5th or 7th, if we lose they will drop us at least 8 spots.

“Just WIN and it won’t matter!”

🙄

Duh, like watching a game with people that say “alright now we need a turnover” every time we’re on defense, that’s the point

Mildly off topic but worth discussing imo. Many of us have heard B1G fans always say SEC teams refuse to play up north in November. This Michigan man chair person for playoffs committee doesn't even seem to be trying to hide the fact they are going to try and place several B1G teams home playoff games in December making SEC teams play in cold elements to definitely make an impact.

That’s exactly what they are planning to do. But penn state can lose their one game of the season and be in a position to host? Such ********

Guess we shouldn’t have lost to effing Arkansas then. LSU scored 31 on them. Ole Miss scored 63 on them. We only scored 14, same as what Auburn was able to score on them.

So, the committee hosed us in the rankings this week. Wouldn't it be nice to close out the week with a Vols win and a big orange middle finger to that same committee?
