Still think we are over ranked. Good team but don’t expect much of a run if we make the playoffs. Still to inconsistent on offense and D is getting run on

That defense and Dylan Sampson will keep us in every game and it doesn’t matter who we play. As long as we don’t turn the ball over a bunch, we can compete with anybody.

There is NO dominant team this year. There just isn't. You are saying we don't deserve a ranking or playoff spot because we are inconsistent when 100% of the teams in that top 10 have weaknesses as well.

You don't have to be perfect to win - you just have to be better than your opponent on a given night.

I have never understood why there has been such a bias against us but I wouldn’t even be surprised if we win out, lose in the SEC title game, and they still find a way to exclude us as one of the 12. Smh

You might be right, but the All-State playoff predictor gives a 10-2 Tennessee a 76 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Depending on the results of other games, I think we can still get in with 2 losses. But you know there will be people that will argue for Alabama and Georgia with two losses over us just because of the brand bias.

I hope I’m wrong. But I just don’t see it. The biases are real and we will never win out on that end of the spectrum. We need a W.

Craziness.....with only 2 loses we still get in

Nope. Committee will take into account our lethargic offense and “ugly wins”. The biases will still exist. I unfortunately think bama gets in before us with 2 losses even with the head2head win.

If they do, we should burn sofas on the selection committee’s lawn. There would be no logic in that other than brand bias and that would be a sad indictment.

Yep. As we've been saying in the other thread on the coach's poll, this weekend is an elimination game for both teams and we should expect all out war (not a literal Kellen Winslow war, obviously, but you know what I mean) on that field.

No one's going to give the Vols a playoff spot. They gotta go take it - from Georgia.

We've had more than our share of debacles against the dreaded backup QB. Maybe it's our backup that goes off this weekend? Yeah...I know.
