Evening Games and Open Discussion Thread

Gromit_tiny by Hooper on in College Football Comment 309 comments

It's been a while since we've had an early game, so we're not exactly used to having games after the Vols play.  If you're still watching, feel free to give us some thoughts.  Also feel free to exhale about the Tennessee Volunteers loss some more if you haven't already done so.  Just remember:  it's never a good idea to go to bed angry.

Also on tap is the Auburn Tigers / Georgia Bulldogs tilt, which has huge implications for Tennessee's divisional standings:  a loss by Georgia re-establishes Tennessee in the driver's seat for second place - a feat that very few people thought was possible at the beginning of the season.

Other topics:

  • Upsets.  What are your thoughts on USC or Houston?
  • Bowl Standings.  Where do you see Tennessee going?  What about the rest of the SEC?
  • BlogPoll Rankings.  How do you see teams moving?  Which teams will give the computers problems?

Glas USC Lost...

they are always overrated, especially this year with a Freshman QB. Houston is dumb too. Keenum shouldn’t win the Heisman because his team throws the ball 40-50 times every game, so his numbers will be outstanding.

I hope UT gets into a decent bowl, and I hope they are matched with a good team, so it will be a great game. I think a bowl game win will do wonders for recruiting and next year’s team.

I think Iowa will drop quite a bit because people weren’t respecting them while they were winning, so now that they have lost 2 they will be dropping. Ohio State on the other hand will move up. USC should drop outside the top 20, and Stanford should be in the top 25 now.

I'm thinking Chik-Fil-a for UT.

And if so, we as fans ought to be happy with it.

I'm thinking Chick-fil-A

And I’m not happy with it. New Year’s Eve is the one night of the year that my girlfriend really wants to go out and do something. She is very, very upset that we have a night game. And if she is upset, things aren’t fun for me.

ok, that I'll give you.

I just meant in the context of team progress.

by Hooper on Nov 14, 2009 7:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I know, I know

I don’t think there’s any more hope I can hold out for the Outback though. Auburn’s ahead of us. We can’t catch them. If Ole Miss loses to both LSU and MSU, they’ll be 3-5 in conference. If we can finish 4-4 in conference, we might get picked ahead of them, head to head notwithstanding. But I’m not too sanguine about it.

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 7:22 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, that could do it too

Forgot Georgia still had Kentucky left.

I think we honestly have a better shot with Ole Miss. MSU can pull an upset, and we would be legit to pick first if we had a better conference record.

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 7:25 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah. I'm pulling for Auburn tonight.

I want the division standings first. I’ll take the aftermath after that.

If it's UT-VT

I’ll do cartwheels. Worried Clemson might slip in there though if they don’t win the ACC title game

UT-VT Match up made in....... heaven ??

Guys you all know I have been wanting this match up. I was disappointed by what I saw out of the defense today and that this loss more than likely knocks us out of a legit shot at the Outback Bowl. However I do think that with the extra time and effort the coaches will put into game prep for a bowl game with the national attention of the Chick-fil-A Bowl I feel like the UT coaching staff will have the guys pumped up and ready to play. We still have to finish out the season with 2 good wins over Vandy and a UK team that might not be such a push over. The UK game could slip up on us if we are not 100% prepared. I do believe if we have solid wins in both of the last games the confidence and the game prep from the coaches can lead us into ATL for a solid win over VT. Granted I’d love to BLOW VT out . Realistically I think it would be maybe a 24 – 17 game for us. What are your thoughts ??

Miami lost to UNC

Which means the Heels have now taken down both the ‘Canes and Hokies. Does that mean they’re finally pulling things together? They only have three losses. GT is excusable. Virginny and FSU not so much.

Out west, Stanford has now destroyed USC and Oregon in consecutive weeks. They also only have three losses, all on the road by less than 10 (Wake, Arizona, Oregon State).

Stanford has obviously been much more impressive, but both of these teams are in position to make some serious moves. And the teams they beat are in position to drop out of the top 15, probably down to the 20-25 range. Ohio State and Iowa can jump back ahead of them (although Oregon, imo, is still better, pending tonight’s game)

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 7:18 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

There are a lot of teams that are much different late than early.

Today notwithstanding, Tennessee is one. But Stanford and UNC are others. USC has regressed.

by Hooper on Nov 14, 2009 7:20 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

USC's regression

certainly makes Oregon look a little less dominant. But I’d still take them over Ohio State.

The only problem with watching a game in Starkville

The way it should work, I think:

BCS: Florida
BCS: Alabama
CapOne: LSU
Cotton: Auburn
Outback: Ole Miss
CFA: Vols
Liberty: Arkansas
Music City: Georgia
Independence: Carolina
PapaJohns.com: UK

That’s what seems fair to me, if favorites win out.

Vaguely worried.

Only if they don’t take UK seriously.

by Hooper on Nov 14, 2009 7:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Thinking more about it:

I am worried about linebacker depth. I think we’ll be ok against Vandy, but that’s not a lot of time to gain experience.

by Hooper on Nov 14, 2009 7:49 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

That’s what worries me. That and that we probably won’t have Janzen.

I can’t be there on the day the streak ends. It’ll only be my fifth UT game.

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 7:52 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

UT should still be the favorite.

UK will be on something like their 11th game in a row without a break and depth is not exactly their strong suit.

I cannot be present when the streak goes down.

My boyfriend has said it is THEIR year for the past 3. I don’t want to make him right. One of the streaks are going down.

Nice return by TCU

They may just blow this one wide open.

Maybe I was prophetic

Review to determine whether TCU gets the TD to go up 28-7.

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 8:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

the TD call was premature

but it’ll still be first and goal from within the 1.

by Hooper on Nov 14, 2009 8:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

And TCU leads 28-7

Meanwhile, LT takes a 13-10 halftime lead in Red Stick. Did that one have a channelsurfing feed?

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 8:44 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Also

In the possible apocalyptic Outback Bowl scenarios: LSU loses to LT, Ole Miss, and Arkansas would drop them to 7-5 (4-4) and make them losers of four straight. We’d get picked ahead of them with two wins.

The MWC needs an undefeated TCU.

Wyoming losing that won’t hurt their AQ bid, but TCU losing would I’m ok with the inevitable.

BTW

Eyeball test has TCU over Cincy (which we’d had already). And I’d love to see Texas stumble to give TCU a shot at the SEC Champ.

Honestly, going by resume alone

TCU has a serious argument for #1. None of the top three have been super impressive this year.

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 8:59 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I would think so, too.

At the very least, I’d like them in the NC game if when they win out.

by Hooper on Nov 14, 2009 8:59 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Me too

But we need an upset. If Auburn can bite Bammer, and then Bama can beat UF, I’d love to see TCU embarrass Texas in the final.

The reductio ad absurdum on that

Obviously it was Sugar last year. Who gets first choice? I’d say the SEC loser gets picked 1st and TCU second, but that could be flipped.

Oh. I missed that, as Firefox crashed.

Boo TTech! I’d like to see UT pick up some of these strong mid-majors. We have a tradition of tough scheduling; I’d like to see it continue, but we don’t have to play all traditional schools. TCU > ND. Boise > UCLA.

TCU has let up a little since half

They need to make sure that the score doesn’t start looking respectable.

Delay should be about 30 seconds.

Wow

I see what y’all were talking about. That could’ve tied it up.

They'll finish up 7-5, same as us, I expect

The Yellowjackets will take care of business. Sadly, that won’t help us in the division.

So hypothetical

A 7-5 Georgia (5-3 SEC) vs. a 7-5 UT (4-4 SEC). Who gets picked up first?

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 10:33 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Painful game today for Vol fans, but I'll be honest: 7-5 this year sounds pretty good to me

8-4 would’ve been better, sure, but it’s not just about the record this year. The team learned how to play with heart in impossible situations, and that’s what counts.

bowl eligible=progress.

7-5 with some nail-biters, some head-shakers, and some moments of sheer jubilation is just dandy with me.

It's progress, but I'm still upset

When I just look at all the shoulda coulda wouldas. It’s a reason to have faith in Lane, but it’s not satisfying. Now if we beat a top 25 team in a bowl (VT?), then it could be.

by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 14, 2009 10:43 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I sure would like to have some games back

along with some stupid player decisions. Losing 5 games is never satisfying.

I have faith in Lane, and I think we’re gonna be on the right track.

I think realistically 7-5 is a good starting point…today has me a little crazy though…a beatdown.

I can't hear you. Rocky Top is playing.
