You got some of that disposable income you’d like to part with?

Doubt they will run on Tennessee, thats a really good DL vs a meh OL


If Tennessee was the better team in the eyes of the committee, they would be hosting. The game is basically a toss up. OSU has a pretty good defense too .i wouldn’t be surprised if it was 20-17 or something like that

Should have been in Neyland, but we'll take it.



Can I ask why? It's fine to say that, but I'm curious as to the reason:

My thoughts:

OSU has 2 wins over playoff teams, Tennessee has 0
Both teams for sure have a bad loss
OSU lost by 1 at the committee's #1 team and Tennessee lost by 14 at the committee's #2

This is an understatement. If you look at defensive rankings:

Total Yards Per Game
1. Ohio State - 241.1
4. Tennessee - 278.0

Passing Yards Per Game
2. Ohio State - 144.3
17. Tennessee - 178.7

Rushing Yards Per Game
7. Ohio State - 96.8
8. Tennessee - 99.3

Points Per Game
1. Ohio State - 10.9
5. Tennessee - 13.9

Turnover Margin Per Game
Ohio State - +0.5
Tennessee - +0.5

Defensively, it is a very even looking matchup.

Entitled Orange pussies. OSU has two more recent titles than the VOLOLs but they think they should get a home game to watch a bunch of drunk hillbillies in Orange and white onesies dry humping each other to rocky top

Congrats on the first postseason appearance for your team in 17 years. When you get bounced by Ohio State hold your head high, as Vols fans yall don't get to do this often.



This must have sounded more clever in your head. Also..."Y'all" is a contraction and should be written as such.

I bet it is, LSU actually made the playoffs and won them before they were expanded to include lesser teams that lose to Arky.

We had a down year after losing our Heisman winning qb and 2 first round wrs, not that I would expect tenner to know what that's like.

"Oregon will lose to the first good team they play."

Oregon beat 3 playoff teams. I'll take Oregon over Tennessee, home, away, neutral filed, doesn't matter.

Unfortunate timing, maybe next year. Until then, enjoy the show.

A pretty bad Michigan team just beat Ohio State in Columbus. UT smokes the buckeyes and sends Day packing.

Congrats to Tennessee and will be pulling for them.

But I think they are so blinded about being in (and Bama not) that it has not occurred to them that the the seeding is absolutely atrocious and they got screwed.
