Didn't say it would be enough, just merely saying if we lose to UGA that's it. Not convinced we will beat Vandy just yet. That game will be a dog fight. But win out and you at least have a shot. I'm not convinced LSU beats Bama next week.

WIN OUT. We match up well against Ms State and Georgia, but, OF COURSE, Beck will be play spot-on, so I am expect a nerve-wracking game. We do not match well against Vandy (running QB), but should out-athlete them. After we get to Atlanta, we do not match well against Texas and Tx A&M, but pretty good against the balance.

Since when are the running QB’s a bad match up for us? We shut down the best running QB in the country in Milroe. I think we can handle A&M and Vandys Running QB.

Yeah pretty much need to win out and everything takes care of itself. The Arkansas loss is a killer that can be erased by winning out. Otherwise it’s a hard blemish to overcome. Beating Georgia and Vandy will require TN to be at or near their full potential. And of course don’t overlook Ms State as a trap.

LSU,A&M and Bama cannot lose another game or they are out of playoffs period. They already have 2 losses overall, a 1 loss team can lose in the sec championship game, but not a team with 2 losses going in. 3 losses your going to be OUT! GBO

If we lose to Georgia and win the rest. Bama wins out. We will need vandy to lose out to make that loss look bad for bama. We will need Arkansas to win 2 of their next 3.(they have Texas, la tech and Missouri)

Was just reading an article about the playoffs and said Vols need a Bama win vs LSU, pains me to say it, LSU with a win over Bama would have a better resume and would be picked or Vols as a 10-2 team. But if Bama wins we have the head to head tie breaker over them.

This is of course assuming we lose to GA and finish 10-2. Win out and no questions.

Is that accurate? I believe we would be in over Tx because although we had the same record against common conf opponents, we would have beat UGA while they lost to them which would be the "highest" placed common opponent. Now if A&M wins out, they got us in the tie breaker due to Arky. Same for LSU.

We got separation against Ky…it’s that #2 on your list that causes us all to pull out our hair.

Really! 1. a touchdown pass was dropped in the end zone 2. the slant pass across the middle was dropped that might have been a score .
Maybe you weren’t cheering loud enough

Nico is progressing nicely! What we need are some receivers who can 1) create some separation, and 2) catch the ball. Is there someone on the depth chart who can do this?

They’re getting separation they’re just dropping the ball way too much.

But see, it's a 3-way tie in this scenario: Vols, Tex, and LSU. And the opponents we ALL THREE have in common do not include UGa. They do include Arky.. LSU and Texas would be 4-0 against those common opponents, but the Vols would be 3-1.

Sadly, we need Bama's help beating LSU to get to the playoffs, under those circumstances.

Go Vols!

Roger that, my bad. That would be the tie break for Atlanta but not for the playoffs.

Texas vs LSU loser, if LSU, would be a 3 loss team and we'd definitely be in the playoffs I think. Actually, I think if we win out and go 11-1, we will be in the playoffs no matter if we go to the conf champ game or not. Our playoffs have already started, it seems.

Screenshot_20241103_171215_Google.jpgIf we win out, and the Horns-Aggies winner finishes with one conference loss, and LSU wins out, then we could be screwed. The three possibilities with UGA gone would be


1)Texas or A&M v LSU
2) LSU v Tennessee
3)Texas or A&M v Tennessee.

#2 isn't an option unless either Tx or A&M take an additional loss before they play and then go on to beat the other texas team giving them both 2 SEC losses.
