Maybe you should be more concerned with your “dumb and slow” coach and you might still have a team in the Tourney TO follow……
I thought they were more inconsistent than “bad”. Overall, they “let them play” but seemed to let a lot of contact go on one play then call a touch foul on another. Another “miss” was when Reeves stepped on the end line before scoring with around 4:30 left. Could have made the difference in the game if a shot or 2 fell for UT. Overall, much better than any games with Pat Adams!
They just beat 3 other ranked teams (2 on the road) while ranked in the top 5. No shame in losing to a KY team loaded with talent that frankly has underachieved most of the year. You now what is shameful? Going 0-18!
I don’t think a Vol fan would use “BBN” as a handle…..
Maybe he needs more help? 16 in Lexington = win, 40 in Knoxville = loss.
That appears to be the Collegiate Baseball poll. Most polls have TN #2 including D1 Baseball, Baseball America and the USA Today Coaches Poll.
It would be even funnier if you actually knew how to spell their names…..
The discussion was around how “TN gave up more points than any other SEC team to Mizzou’s putrid offense”. I was actually complementing UGA and pointing out TN’s horrible defense only gave up 2 more points. Hardly the type of glaring wart that would impact the committee’s view. Comparative results are the stupidest thing you can do. TN beat Mizzou by 42 and UGA only beat them by 4. That didn’t translate to the actual UGA/TN game. The amount of time and energy you UGA fans spend disparaging what is by far your most impressive win is truly amazing…..
Yeah, 2 more points than the greatest defense in the history of college football gave up…I’m sure the committee will hold that against TN. Skidmark…..
The TN/Vandy game is at Vandy. I’m sure the stands will be full of orange but not technically a “home” game for UT as the article states.
Like a Mizzou fan has ANY clue what the CFP committee notices…. You guys are the skid marks on the drawers of the SEC.
No, they will see our second and third team kept scoring on the “nations #13 defense”. Games last 60 minutes, stop us if you can….
All wins are massive when you are trying to get into the Playoff….
Well, just wait on more Georgia fans to arrive….the only comment by them so far is to disparage the Western Division of the Conference….
Let’s not forget, that was the backups who scored at the end of the game. Mizzou is supposed to have a stout defense. Stop the scrubs!
How are these clowns still ranked? And they were in the top 10 at one time???? Pathetic.
Ugly wins still count. Some people forget all that matters is adding 1 more to the “W” column!
Well, the “number 13 defense” should be able to stop our backups…. Agree though, should have taken a knee after the big pass. Nothing more to prove there (unless committee voters who just see the final score).
UT Martin hung 17 of those points on 3rd and 4th stringers in the second half. The reserves on offense only scored 13 points after the starters rang up 52 in the first half. UK won’t see those same guys. Now, that doesn’t mean UK won’t score 31. But using UT Martin as the basis just doesn’t fly….
I’m not twisted in knots and have no expectation anyone from a rival fan base bows at the feet of TN. I never even said I agreed that TN had the “best resume”. I asked YOU based on the metric YOU pointed out that TN does not have the best resume, then who does. Calling respondents “geniuses” and “responding slower” (sorry if quotation marks are triggering for you) and continuing to disparage TN doesn’t answer the question. Yes, you the throw a few more insults and switch to “best wins” and declare “no one has the best resume” (again, sorry if this triggers you). I was really interested in who YOU though had the best resume and since I challenges you SOS position, what other criteria you would employ. This is 3 day old thread and I no longer care what you think. At the end of the day it’s only your opinion. Even if gwhite is a delusional TN homer, your opinion carry’s no more weight than his….
Waffle away…you made a definitive statement “Tennessee does not have the best resume” and used SOS (and Tennessee’s mid 20s performance in this metrics) as “proof” Gwhite’s opinion was wrong. When I pointed out no one ranked above TN had a better SOS (your metric of proof), you got derisive and restated you “proof” slower for us “geniuses”. When I pointed out those 20 teams above TN haven’t performed better than TN with those schedules, you come back and disparage TN’s wins and point out some Individual wins that are “better” (IYO). A “resume” isn’t built on 1 win. It is a body of work. Also, after saying TN does not have the best resume you point out “it’s too early to say any team has a better resume than any other” (of course any team that runs the table in the SEC is going to have the best resume). It’s a “moment in time and that’s why we will have the playoff standing starting next week. The committee doesn’t think it’s too early to compare resumes. Of course if you can’t say any one team has a better resume than any other, than you can’t really say one of the top 3 teams “certainly doesn’t have the best resume” either. Unless you just hate said team and look for any chance to tear them down…..
So SOS is the only metric that matters? How many of this 20 teams ahead of TN in that metric are ahead of them in the polls (answer zero. Those two are WAY worse). In many of those SOS rankings Vandy has the highest SOS. What have they done with it? Get destroyed. Metrics to look at “coulda, woulda,shoulda”. They look at actual results. Again, who do you think has the best resume if not TN? Simple question “genius”…
Georgia’s SOS is in the 50s, Ohio St in the 70s and Michigan in the 80s. Who has the best resume then?
The line doesn’t actually “open” until the Sunday before the game. The ESPN FPI “prediction” isn’t an actual betting line…..
Oh the ESPN FPI….that also “predicted” TN would be 4-3 at this point in the season, Alabama had a 70% chance of beating TN and would win by 9 points. I think Gwhite (I assume that is who you meant by “gehite”) probably IS more accurate than that POS prediction service…
This is correct. Austin Temple (4-1, 3.46 ERA) gets the start for ND tonight.
I would add base running/holding base runners as potential weaknesses too. There have been 2-3 boneheaded base running errors giving away outs in the last couple of series. They have also been pretty bad holding runners/throwing out runners stealing all year. I was really surprised Georgia didn’t try to run more (of course their offense was heavy with HRs).
