We Always Knew It Is True

ESPN broadcast completely disrespects Tennessee during Mississippi State game

Tennessee football improves to 8-1 on the season with a 5-1 conference record after 11 weeks of the season. It's Tennessee's third straight season where they ha

BOV has turned me into a Vols Baseball fan. Love that guy.

And LSU just got blown out because of their poor coaching.

How do you know she hasn't earned it? She works her ass off and knows probably at least as much as you

I read some of her stuff.

All of America should be totally pi$$ed if Alabama gets in at 9-3.

I’m hoping Hugh Freeze has something for them in the Iron Bowl and they get a big fat L. Highly unlikely but that would be glorious, it’s been insane this year.

Game’s not in Jordan Hare, so that ain’t happening.

They won't be ranked above us tomorrow because we haven't lost, although they will have a significant jump as they did in the AP poll. Now, if/when we lose Saturday, they will certainly be ahead of us next week, and I don't think we will be able to overtake them unless they lose again. The timing for us simply sucks.

Much will change between now and Dec 10. Even if we lose to Georgia and go 10-2, we will be in there and I don't give a damn which seed

 

[KTrain]

If Tennessee wins the ESPN talking heads will say they just have 1 good win our Saban's Bama and the Georgia win now is not that good of win, they are a 3 loss team.

I hope after we beat them, Georgia Tech beats them.

 

[Chickenfarmer]

Remember how we are a second half team as of late. That means we keep viewers tuned in until it is 0:00 remaining on the clock. That means ratings and viewership for the entire game. Ratings mean higher costs for commercials which means we are a premium team for the CFP because it’s all about the Benjamins! Forget the biased, on air talking heads on ESPN and go 11-1 regular season and beat Texas in the SEC Championship.

 

[EZE]

No, it's not that simple

Too many on here have the assumption that every team not named Tennessee will win out, which almost assuredly is not the case. I continue to believe that we have a much better than 50% (probably more like 90%) shot even at 10-2.

We were a 73% likelihood last week to make the playoffs. The 10-2 factor plays highly significant, statistically speaking

Well, I can't say the article is wrong. Teams are good until we beat them, and then suddenly it isn't a quality win. Bama can lose to Vandy, which seems to go unnoticed or is suddenly a quality loss. They ignore the fact that WE BEAT BAMA head-to-head on the field. SMH You can say what you want but saying a 3 loss Bama has a better chance of making the playoffs, than a 2 loss TN shows they are promoting Bama. Especially when TN is one of the 3 Losses.

Exactly. They lost to candy and everyone is putting them over us.
Ole miss, horrible losses to Kentucky and lsu. But now all of a sudden they’re getting all the love and going to steal a spot.
They wanna throw up that Arkansas game but don’t wanna bring up vandy for bama , or Kentucky for ole miss

Dinich also lamented the absence of Vanderbilt from the CFP committee ranking. That was, of course, before South Carolina humbled them a few hours later.

We know how Dinich got her job.

ESPN overlords sitting there telling “reporters” what to say based on brand rankings.

There's no world where 3 loss Bama gets in over 2 loss Tennessee

 

[apevol]

if people were being honest with themselves they'd admit Kelly couldn't coach the 85 bears to a win over the titans and LSU probably aint much better than vandy

A&M got the huge bump in perception by beating the snot out of the tiggers then promptly laid an egg the next week. Anybody but bama beats LSU last week and the country reacts with a big fat "meh", but theres just too many people waiting to prop them right back up by any means necessary

 

[UT97Vol]

If we beat Georgia we secure our place in the SEC title game and the playoff (assuming we don’t lay a Vandy egg) and in the process knock UGA out of the playoff and Alabama out of the SEC title game.

This is a season defining - if not generation defining game - on Saturday night. There is so much on the line for not only this season but positioning for the future. If we want to stop seeing idiots on TV dismiss us then these are the games that have to be won.

 

[Raleigh-Vol]

I'm saying it right now Bama will not win the sec this is just people talking and wishful thinking.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Proof of what Volnation knew for decades.

According to them Tenn doesnt deserve to be in

 

[Vol524]

If you apply logic, I agree. I was just repeating what ESPN is saying.

 

[Vol524]

Exactly. They lost to candy and everyone is putting them over us.
Ole miss, horrible losses to Kentucky and lsu. But now all of a sudden they’re getting all the love and going to steal a spot.
They wanna throw up that Arkansas game but don’t wanna bring up vandy for bama , or Kentucky for ole miss

Not to mention we beat Bama.
