Vols win at Oklahoma next week and odds of making the playoffs

[Voltrapnbama]

We are going to need much better play from Nico to beat OU.

Yeah, I wasn’t going to say much because of the competition but he didn’t seem locked in last night for some reason

UGA has struggled on what seems like 1 road game early in the year, but they find ways to gut it out for a win. We unfortunately get them in Athens this year and the last couple of years we have struggled on the road at times as well.

I think the ceiling is high for the Vols, but let’s not get upset if UGA still goes into that game favored by 10+ still.

Would love to be the team that breaks all their streaks.

Gut it out and win? Stoops pissed down his leg.

Bama? Perhaps. But we have as much chance of being favored at Ga as Pruitt becoming our head coach again.

Did you watch Georgia yesterday? Georgia plays Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss before Tenn. If Tenn handles OU and then beats Bama and is undefeated but Georgia loses to Bama or looks bad against Tex or OM, it wouldn't be a stretch for them to be favored.

This year with Georgia may be different. For seemingly forever, they've been able to play a soft schedule up until they play us. This year, they have a brutal schedule the weeks preceding playing us. They can't afford to focus on us exclusively this time.

Jax, we haven't given up an offensive TD all season and you think this OU offense will suddenly put 21 on us??

Have you watched them play?

People are giving them credit purely off their name.

Bro, we've played two nobodies and a overrated acc team. They are gonna score, just less than us

Georgia looked like a 3 loss team tonite @KY. Very beatable and some tough road games.

TX will destroy UGA

Remember Georgia nearly losing 2 years ago at Mizz? It made no difference in our game. Kirby’s bunch has handled us pretty easily 3 years in a row. So unless we are undefeated and they’ve lost 2, we will not be favored at Georgia.

Terrible comparison.
And yes, your hypothetical is best case but I'm saying it's not that bad of a stretch for that to be the case. The differences in schedules are night and day.

I brought that up to counter you bringing up a close W at Kentucky. They haven’t lost any regular season game in sec for about 4 years. It’s gonna take a lot for them to be home underdogs to us. Shouldn’t be hard to see that.
