And that doesn’t mean if Clemson wins they won’t move them up.

I will wager $1,000 Clemson does not pass ASU, as you said they could in another thread, if they win tonight. If Clemson doesn’t win, it doesn’t matter. Take it or leave it.

Nope. Arizona State could move up a few spots, but almost certainly won't be put above Bama.

From Ariz St's perspective, this doesn't matter much. The only thing that matters to them is #8 SMU vs #17 Clemson. If Clemson wins, Arizona State gets a first round bye as one of the four top-ranked conference champs. Huge diference, being the #4 seed vs the #12 seed.

From our perspective, it doesn't matter much, either. Ariz St can't knock Bama out of the playoffs, and they certainly won't affect us.

Go Vols!

But Clemson can and potentially move ahead of asu.

I don’t think ASU jumps us.

Manuel was on College Gameday this morning and said again that a team not playing this weekend couldn’t jump another team not playing this weekend, which means the Vols cannot pass ND or OSU, and we can’t be passed by Indiana or Alabama.

If Georgia wins, they and Texas will switch places.
If Penn State wins, they and Oregon will switch places.

Our one and only hope of getting a home game is if Georgia loses and the committee decides to drop them two spots instead of one.

Don't agree with this completely. If Oregon blows out Ped U, I think they drop below us

At this point it’s pretty evident they aren’t going to let us get a home game. Once that’s out the window get us whatever seed is the easiest path. Right now we have by far the most difficult path in the bracket.

While yes they are very similar, the release last week by the committee laid the foundation for the playoffs. The field is practically set. A few teams can move up and down and only 1 team can fall out. Bama. Clemson can jump in, but won't be any higher than 12 (in the bracket) after Arizona State destroyed Iowa State.

That’s not what they said. They said teams that aren’t playing are essentially stuck. Teams that are playing could move because they would have new “data points” to consider. Who knows if they come up with “data points” to shift Clemson up a few spots.

I dont know how else to explain it anymore so I'm out on this conversation. Clemson has 3 losses and zero top 25 wins. They are not jumping Arizona State period. They won't get a bye, if they make the playoffs they will sneak into the last spot. Even if they win 70-0. 3 losses killed them, regardless of "data points". They are playing for the last playoff spot, that's it.

Refs calling holds against Texas to keep Georgia in it. Ridiculous

Texas held on them plays, the problem is they have missed a few holds on Georgia. They need to go both ways, Texas D is making even more penetration but not getting the holding call love that Georgia is.

Exactly. That's all everyone wants to see. You can't allow one team to get away with it while the other is held to a different standard.

Most fans just want consistency not an advantage.

Our luck hasn't been bad. A week after losing to UGA there were some big time upsets putting us back in the bracket. We can't complain.

Now what kinda of Vol fan would I be if I didn’t complain about everyone being out to get us?
