Isn't that what I said in the title?

So Vols have to out do Clemson with a common opponent. I would like to apologize in advance.



Exactly. That's why it's going to be extra painful for SC these next two weeks...

Yeah, but there is a difference between beating Alabama and LSU vs beating NC State, Syracuse and UNC. The NC State and Syracuse wins aren't looking that good right now. Bama and LSU wins are.

A 12-1 conference champ Clemson will get in over Tennessee. Tennessee might be ranked higher now but if Clemson win out and beat ranked North Carolina they will jump Tennessee. Also they will have beaten 3 currently ranked teams vs Tennessee 2 ranked teams.

Speculation. As I said I think the committee REALLY looks hard at how the two teams play a common opponent in back to back weeks.

The Pac12 and ACC both having 2-loss champions is the exact amount of chaos that UT needs. If all of that were to happen, I think it's extremely likely that they'd get in, if we assume UGA/OSU/TCU win out.


If you think that all of that needs to happen then why were the Vols ranked #5 last week and Clemson #10?

Like, are you retarded?

You're simply wrong. I can't stress this enough.

Tennessee is not getting in if Clemson wins out. They better hope Clemson and North Carolina both lose and finish with 2 losses and Usc lose again so they have 2 losses. If not they will probably be sitting at the house.

Look at Tennessee's strength of record. The committee aren't full blown retards. You apparently may just be.

Tennessee has the 3rd best SOS. Clemson's is 55.

Edit: The poster is a Clemson fan. Just look at their post history.

They have zero chance of "beating Clemson. Then Tennessee"...because they play Tennessee first.

Baylor is TCU’s biggest rival so it wouldn’t shock me too much.

Also, big 12 championship game could be a good one.
