    But Clemson and Bama would probably still be in the final anyways.

    Also I think the only way you could expand it would be to remove some regular season games. I am definitely not a fan of making college football athletes play extra unpaid games.

    At least December would be more fun. 50 bowl games hasnt been the answer either.

    True. I definitely only watch the semi-finals and finals as well as maybe a couple of the New Year bowls.

    Playoffs usually include a few fun games at least. Clemson wouldn't play everyone.

    So Jim Chaney, OC at Georgia is heading to Tennessee for the same job.

    Very pleased with the hire. Honestly we haven't been dynamic on offense since the last time Chaney was here during the Kiffin/Dooley era.

    Coupled with a defensive minded head coach, it makes me feel hopeful about 2020.

    2019 is still going to be all about crawling out from under the giant steaming pile of Butch Jones.

    Time to dust this thread off.

    So how's everyone feeling about their teams this year?

    I'll start.

    My Vols look good to go on offense, I like the new guys up front. Good QB and lots of weapons.

    Defense could suck. Getting beat up too soon. This will be a season where we win or lose every game 42-41 if they don't get and stay healthy.

    Record will be 7-5.

    So yeah.

    Tennessee got beaten by the equivalent of a really good High School football team today.


    This is going to be another long one.

    The first game of the season they were pretty much giving him snaps at WR. Surely he has to transfer again?

    Yep we did.

    Going in the 2nd would be damn impressive. And there's a small bit of precedent for it. Even a 3rd is awfully high for a punter.

    That's interesting. I wouldn't know where to start on what this guy adds in terms of yards per game but if it's 50-60 over any other punter then that's got to be significant value.

    I'm not sure I follow how you're describing how a punter affects a game.

    I suppose as far as looking at the total yards a punter adds to the game as a whole value rather than what they do on a kick by kick basis.

    But if they add more per kick then their total yards kick will be higher? and if he kicks it further then the opposing offence have to work harder, so it's valuable.

    LSU may have an offense. Army is either a thousand times better than we thought or Michigan is dog shit this year. USC on the come up. Clemson murdered another SEC team. And we are heading into week three with Alabama, PSU and most of the top twenty teams playing no one. Notre Dame/Georgia is week four.

    His yards kicked can certainly be valuable. But it's not something I've ever thought or read as a total statistic. What he does on from one kick to the next is of real importance. Coffin corner punts or hang time for instance.

    I've never noticed this but Army threw 2/4 with one pick against Michigan, and it still went to OT. It seems to be how they run their offence.

    There is also a The U: Part 2. Not as good as Part 1 but still good. Part 1 is outstanding. Highly recommend to any college football fan. I watch it every year before the season starts.

    They have actually played games where they didn't complete a single pass and still won.

    Yeah part 1 was amazing. No wonder the U probably one of the hated teams ever.

    Finally watched this last Xmas day. What documentary, what a rivalry back then. The whole t shirt thing to the trash talking etc...don’t think you’ll get a rivalry like that nowadays.

    And Tenn finally gets a win.

    It was against the skinniest looking Chatanooga team I've ever seen but fuck it. I'll take anything at this point.

    Curious to see how BYU looks against USC later.

    Mich St got a bs pass interference call to set up a field goal then Herm Edwards had to ask the refs twice if they could count to twelve for the men Michigan State o
    had on the field. And this was one of the many shitty calls over this weekend.

    Lifelong Michigan State fan and that they deserved to lose it. Top 5 defense in the country wasted by a shitty offense and an even shittier offensive coordinator. Dantonio is too loyal to his own guys.

    Michigan fans are acting too cocky though. They barely beat Army and will get destroyed by Wisconsin.

    I'm going to be watching a lot of games I normally wouldn't just scouting out who I want the Titans to draft. Should be fun. A lot of football.

    You just summed up my football joy as a Texan fan for many many years now.

    February to April kept me going.

    Any time you wanna bounce ideas I'm game.

    At least my team has a real name. Houston Texans.

    That'd be like the San Francisco Californians. Or the Seattle...Washing...tonians? Anyway.

    Im honestly not sure who I want at all. Im sure theyll bring in a new OC and that will factor in a lot but right now I'm just studying guys and seeing what fits.

    What do you think?

    I loathe the Texans name. You're 100% right, it's shit. Just ownership trying to stretch their lame branding.

    Stupid billions of dollars making the decision.

    Anyway bro it's still hella early and you're right, depends on how you guys restructure your coaching. Plus side is you got gobs of options. My guess is that if he can reach him, Vrabel will like a guy like Herbert. Happy to revisit it later in the process though.

    Cal ran 43 plays tonight against Utah. They only gained yardage on 20 of them.

    They gained 249 FEET of offense.

    Good. Saves us all having to watch them get blown out again if they played someone good.

    So Georgia seemed to get a little of their mojo back playing Florida. Still can't see them beating either LSU or Bama in the SEC title game though.

    Tenn seems to finally be coming around. The key seems to have been pulling and benching several of the Butch Jones era seniors and just playing Pruitt's freshman and sophomores instead. But a real good effort this last month with wins over Miss St, South Carolina and UAB as well as a competitive showing with Alabama.

    Kentucky, Missouri and Vandy left. 2 wins gets them to a bowl game. 3 gets them to 7-5 which is what most people had them at starting off the season.

    Those two losses to start the season against BYU and southwestern Georgia state tech school for the blind loom large now.

    Either way, Pruitt seems to be doing well. Very hopeful for the future.

    I'm surprised Ohio State got the 1 spot. I imagine it will be short lived as whoever wins the Bama LSU game will likely get the 1 instead.

    Two of those teams are probably dropping out of the top 4 within the next 2 weeks since they play each other. Where it gets interesting is if LSU loses to Bama by a FG. Do they still get in over an undefeated Clemson?

    Clemson won't have a quality win all year so the same can be said about the loser of the PSU/OSU game who will probably have 3 better wins than Clemson.

    I would put a 1 loss OSU or 1 loss LSU above undefeated Clemson. I would not out 1 loss PSU or 1 loss Alabama.

    so you would put in OSU losing at home to PSU as opposed to PSU losing a close game at OSU?

    Yes. Because the rest of OSU's season has been much more impressive than PSU

    OSU's resume isn't that much better but they have been winning by 40 instead of 20 like PSU. I would put 1 loss PSU above 1 loss Bama if that helps.

    However, I was actually assuming the B10 team with one loss wins the PSU/OSU game but then loses something else but still wins the conference. I don't think a 1 loss team that loses the B10 conference has any chance to make the playoff. LSU is the only non-champion 1 loss team I would consider.

    No dog in the fight but of course I'm rooting for LSU.

    What kind of monster roots for Alabama? Well...someone from Alabama I suppose but there are only like 80k people in the whole state and they're all at the game.

    Haha yes got to root for LSU.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Sources (according to ESPN anyway) say that Young’s suspension could be 4 games but OSU is hoping to reduce it with an appeal.

    4 games would be huge...

    One thing I saw was if it was for the playoff, the NCAA has a system to help the family come to the game. But because it was only the Rose Bowl, the player's families get no help.

    CBS already laying the ground work for Alabama to be in the playoffs even though they won't win the division or be in then SEC title game or played anyone minus LSU so far. So, glad Penn State lost.

    It's a tough argument to make. I mean what is Bama's quality win? A&M and Auburn I guess?

    They're going to need some help but hey, the whole reason they went away from the computers and put it back in the hands of humans was to make sure they get teams like Alabama in if they're close.

    Do we really want or need teams like Alabama that either play all their tough teams at home or a nice comfy nuetral site in the south. LSU went to Texas, Oregon played Auburn and even Georgia had Notre Dame. Ohio State and Bama seems to dodge at a lot of people of big time programs.

    I just mean it's a ratings thing. Alabama has a big, front running, national fanbase.

    Anyway, my Vols are just bulletproof right now.

    Time of possession Kentucky 41 mins. Tenn 18 mins.

    We still won.

    And I know what you're thinking. We must've had more yards.

    Nope.

    Well certainly the real winner was the team that had the fewest penalty yards then?

    Nope we had more.

    Well certainly it was all about timely turnovers then right?

    Nope. Each team had one turnover.

    Fuck. I think we're going 7-5 after all.

    I can already imagine Georgia beating LSU and them trying to push 3 1-loss SEC teams

    This is why it was better with the BCS. It wasn't perfect but they didn't incorporate regional viewership into the formula either.

    They can't have Alabama, who didn't win their division in this thing, again. The ratings will be the same of the SEC is I it or not. We just had the most boring Super Bowl of all time and it still had amazing ratings. The tournament would get better ratings if it was Saturday instead of Monday.

    Aping this from CFP ranking show, but ... who gets in if..

    LSU and Georgia win out and Georgia beats them in SEC championship game with both teams finishing 12-1..

    Ohio St and Minn win out and Minn beats them in B10 championship game with both teams finishing 12-1..

    Clemson wins out and finishes 13-0..

    And regardless of the answers it's pretty rad to have a stretch run going so against the grain of the preconceived 'two-school sport' predictions.

    Depends on how Georgia/LSU ends in that case.

    I'd see LSU/Georgia winner, Ohio State, Clemson, and either LSU/Georgia loser or Bama.

    I would love a few upsets but I think a combo of those teams will certainly be in with two SEC teams being in

    If Oregon and Utah can make it to the title game with both 1 loss, I think the winner would go above a 1 loss Bama or 2 loss Georgia. But 1 loss LSU is in for sure if they make it to the SEC title game undefeated.

    How Bama is still five is beyond me. They lost at home in a game they never lead. Auburn being fifteen is also stupid.

    You'd have Ohio St over a 12-1 Minnesota team that beat them in the conf championship game?

    Probably, yeah. Though I don't see any way of them winning, Ohio State has been especially dominant this season.

    PSU is beating OSU and then Minnesota (avenging their only loss) and making the final 4 over one of the non conference teams.

    PSU might have the best win all year by any team by winning at number 2 OSU, they would avenge their only loss, and have wins over Iowa, Michigan, OSU, and Minn on their resume. that would be tough to leave them off. Clemson hasn't beaten anyone all year and the other team wouldn't win it's conference.

    you can't put a team that lost over the team that they lost to in the conference title game while having the same number of losses. lol come on

    I guess I'm going based on who they've beaten and how.

    I can see where you would say Minnesota winning out would get in, but even then Ohio State has the better overall resume.

    Once again, doesn't matter, because Ohio State isn't losing that title game. Only game I see them losing is against Michigan, but even then Michigan isn't especially strong.

    How about Georgia nearly losing to A&M?

    That could've made the playoff scenario a little more interesting.

    How I see the final four

    LSU
    OSU
    Clemson
    Bama

    Now, if Minnesota beats OSU or Georgia beats LSU that could cause some mayhem. No clue what would happen then? would love to see it.
