Tennessee playoff odds.

[THEdonkey0515]

The FPI, which is used in ESPN's Playoff Predictor, improved Tennessee's CFP chances from 69.2% to 73.9% after the win against Kentucky.

A 10-2 season the FPI gives UT a 78%-80% chance to be in the CFP.

Please don't screw this up by losing to Vandy lol

Hopefully the Vols keeping beating the teams they should beat, remaining games that's everyone except GA. Regarding GA, IF the Vols can get their 1st half lack of scoring issues fixed they have a chance in that game too.

Tennessee is in a great spot to make the playoffs. I think they get in even with a loss to Georgia but Georgia is very beatable.
Georgia can play like the best team in the country part of the time and then turn around and look middle of the pack.

Agreed, we may or may not beat them but not they are definitely beatable

They can't score enough points to do much in the so called playoff.

To get in, even with a loss to GA, we need GA to get Ole Miss out of the picture this weekend.

Will also need TX to beat A&M later on.

I just don't see the committee taking 5 SEC teams. Right now, GA and TX are the locks, with Ole Miss, A&M, TN, Bama, and LSU in the hunt. So, if A&M and Ole Miss are removed from the equation, then it should be TN and the Bama/LSU winner.

But, as mentioned, Vandy could spoil our shot.

We haven't let any opponent this season score over 20 points. As long as our defense is playing like that we have a chance in EVERY game.

Another interesting fact is Tennessee is one of only five SEC teams to hold their opponents to 20 or less through the first 8 games. The other four went on to win national championships. Defense wins championships.

I sure hope the Vols make it in but I believe we need to win out.To many other teams with as good or better records than the Vols!!One projection I saw has at least 4 Big teams in and 3 SEC teams in!!If we do pull the upset at Georiga we will be in the playoffs!

The Vols are a good team but not playoff caliber. I expect them to play Ga close but lose. And, I expect Vandy to remove any doubt in Nashville. That will be Vandy's bowl game even though they will play in a real bowl this year. Their QB is a gamer.

 

[TNTreeman]

I love my Vols but unless they get the offense rolling before the fourth quarter it doesn't matter if they make the playoffs or where they are ranked . They won't go very far. Nico looked better Saturday but his receivers let him down. If the offense starts to really click they are a good team. Georgia and Vandy could both beat the good guys and 1 most likely will.

Josh Pate has mentioned a couple of times on his podcasts that, if the SEC and/or Big Ten feel that they have been slighted as far as teams selected for the playoff, they will blow it up after 2025, as it's currently only a 2 yr deal.

So, if that is the case, then the committee may feel pressure to give the SEC preferential treatment.

As far as whether we are good enough, our defense says that we are. We don't have to score a lot of points, just one more than the opponent.

If we can cut the turnovers and make a dadgum FG, we can beat anybody.

UT defense has looked great. UT running back has looked great. UT passing game is awful. But anything could happen if you get invited to the party.

So can Alabama and Tennessee.

Finally a real Vols fan!!!!

They can win out but they can also lose to both Georgia and Vandy. Hope the first part of that is correct.
