Vols are a complete embarrassment to the SEC

I'm going to spend the offseason dehydrated from all the tears I'll shed for them.

 

When haven’t they been?

 

It also proves a 12 team format is 4 teams too many. And I hear they want to add 2 more teams. What a laugher, an embarrassment. This isn't March Madness where a podunk basketball team can beat the big guys on any given night. The issue is the committee uses the ranking system which doesn't prove that a 15th ranked South Carolina is worse than Indiana. IMO, SC would knock the socks off Indiana and give Ohio State a true test. They need to fix the ranking system. The Top 5, maybe 8 sounds about right and always has, but after that I disagree with everything from 9 to 25.

 

6 is the sweet spot, keep the conference championship games (assuming we still had power 5) as defacto playoff games. (They are pointless in the current system) Top two seeds get a bye, and you have one remaing spot for a deserving Cinderella or a 1 loss conference championship game loser.

Instead the NCAA and powers that be completely wrecked it and gave us a bunch of meaningless blowouts in the 1st rd. Good job

 

8 teams max

 

6 works for me. Probably better than 8

 

I think 8 teams is the sweet spot. It's enough to include conference champions and the at-large teams who have a case. It preserves some meaning for the regular season. It fits into the New Year's Six bowls perfectly. I don't know why they had to go and overinflate it to 12 teams without ever giving 8 a try.

 

Water is wet.

Sky is blue.

 

16 teams around the corner.

Vols have been end of season disappointments for years, so nothing new.

 

Strange to read football fans complaining about more football. There seemed to be some excitement about the first 12-team playoff, but the first round of games ended up being clunkers ('cept the TX/Clem game). I would go with either 8 or 16 teams and do away with the bye. Under the current format, Sagarin's 11th and 28th ranked teams received a bye. Their schedules rank 39th and 86th.

 

the seeding is the issue, not the teams selected. SMU vs UTK would have been a better game.

 

Their fans are almost insufferable . . .

 

WARNING: Cover your ears!

 

Typical . . .

 

Almost?

 

The comments are a hoot, if only they could read it.

 

The BCS gave us the top two teams. Then number 3 complained so eventually we went to playoffs with 4 teams. Then number 5 complained so now we are at 12 teams. Now number 13 and 14 are complaining. Enough already. I agree with others. 6, maybe 8 max. After that, you ain't beating the #1 or 2 teams anyway, so get over it.

 

The playoffs should be set to his ever many are needed for the gators to get in
