GT doesn't have soccer as a sport either. So they can't go pull a soccer style kicker from over there.

I like that I can now call the Vols the Trash Cans.

GBO MOTHERFUCKERS

Nah, I don't fuck with the state of tennessee. I don't hear that shit at any subliminal level.

 

[aronnov reborn]

Fuck.

God I hate the SEC.

Same. Living here in Nashville is always rough after days like this.

Wait, Georgia Tech plays for the best conference in college football. How did this happen?

 

[jjasper]

Cause it just means more.

 

[sf2fanatic]

How does top 5 look for next week?

 

[lush]

They're probably penning Butch's contract extension at this very moment for that one. The win was always going to be the only real potential positive take away from this crap matchup.

When they beat FSU, I don't know.

 

[Sirpopopop]

I have returned from my vacation:

Thoughts:

Rutgers was clearly cheated by the refs. That second touchdown was legit. Anyone questioning otherwise is wrong.

Therefore, I consider us to be 1-0. Washington is bloodied and is now 0-1. However, they look like a great squad who will proceed to win their next 11 games.

When two teams suck this is what you get. A coin toss on who wins 😂.

I wanted to watch the forced 2 pt conversions for fun, but GT decided to flip that coin.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

How does top 5 look for next week?

I'd personally order it:

Alabama
Ohio State
Clemson
Florida State
Washington

And so on.

 

[chaosblade]

FSU probably drops big for losing the game and their QB. Only other question is if or how much USC drops for struggling to put away a MAC team.

Are injuries taken into account for these things?

I suppose they would be. Sucks for FSU, but if they really belong in that top 4, they'll show it as the season goes on.

 

[AntoneM]

You on the good shit huh?

Rutgers is really one of the best teams in college if you look at it a certain way.

 

[Balphon]

Rutgers is really one of the best teams in college if you look at it a certain way.

It's the way where you look at the records upside-down.

 

[Ganhyun]

I think A&M was the only SEC team to lose this weekend. So, I imagine they're getting the stink eye from the other SEC schools for ruining their streak.

Nah, Gatas lost to Michigan.

 

[Sirpopopop]

You on the good shit huh?

Woah my man. I think you're being very harsh here.

I'm sorry you can't handle my searing hot blazing takes here. However, what I say is 100% the truth. Anyone who was watching the film like I have extensively would know that Washington repeatedly got away with murder on HOLDING CALLS and OFFSIDES CALLS. IT WAS LIKE ALMOST EVERY PLAY MAN!

Watched that film so many times with my expertly trained eyes.

ROCKY TOP, YOU'LL NEVER MEAN

The trash can is still one of the dumbest things I've seen in college football.

I mean, it's been 12 hours. We'll be telling our grandkids about how corny that was.

 

[TaterTots]

Damn, Vols gotta play again in only 4 days. That's brutal.

I'm so proud.

Is Florida still the second best team in the SEC? Just wondering.

nah, bama is

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Fair, our second string defense was pretty dominant.

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

I'm wondering if the Oregon/Nebraska gam is going to be rescheduled due to the fires and air quality. Ducks had to move their practice to the coast.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Taylor Swift is performing half time of the National Championship game.

 

[Andodalf]

I'd personally order it:

Alabama
Ohio State
Clemson
Florida State

And so on.

Florida State at 4 Without DeAndre Françoise? Their D was great, but without him I'd be surprised to see them hit 10 wins.

Before noon we are the 4th. After noon we are 3rd.

[Socivol]

UT alum here and I'm so pissed the Vols won yesterday. They totally deserved to lose. I really need them to go ahead and let Butch go and hire Les Miles.

 

[Lonestar]

Meltdown time

Sounds like a Tennessee hire, would look great on the UT athletics website next to Rick Barnes.

We all know Gruden will be Butch's successor unless we miraculously outbid Florida for Chip Kelly.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Looking like UCF/Memphis will be moved to Friday night from Saturday night due to Irma.

 

[BajiBoxer]

I'd personally order it:

Alabama
Ohio State
Clemson
Florida State
Washington

And so on.

I don't think Florida State can reasonably be put in the top 5 with the QB situation, and running game.

My personal top 5 is:

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Clemson
4. Penn State (vomits)
5. LSU

 

[jjasper]

Barnes is fine. But hell no to Les Miles. He is a bad coach that once he is away from that amazing talent he had at LSU he won't be anything but he is clearly better than Jones. Dude even tweeted about Jones not calling a TO.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Meltdown time

At least Texas is going to win something!

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Florida State at 4 Without DeAndre Françoise? Their D was great, but without him I'd be surprised to see them hit 10 wins.

They just lost one game to the number one team in the nation. If the wheels fall off post-Frenchy, you rank them accordingly in the future, you don't do it now. Also, their running game is fine. They just played Alabama. Context matter.

(I'd be surprised if they win less than 10. The question is really if they can get to 11, which I sorta doubt, but less than 10, with this roster and defense? Psh)

Hell no

I love Les

But he'd get run the fuck outta here too

Louisville
Clemson
Miami
Florida

All teams capable of beating Florida State. Two of them did last year.

They could be 7-5 entering bowl season, and that's without them stubbing their toe against a team like NC State.

5. LSU

I like this list. I like it a lot. LSU sitting there at no. 5 with the best defense in college football and maybe just maybe a QB who can make a single throw in the Alabama game to turn it around.

Then they'll lose to A&M or some shit. Whatever.

I'm sorry, I didn't know those teams existed. I thank you for listing them for me.

Lmao.

They're not losing to anyone that isn't Clemson or Miami. They should be favored in every other matchup, and may be favored against Miami anyways. They'll be fine. Throw in the bowl game they're guaranteed to make, and less than 10 wins, with this roster, is laughable. We'll revisit this when the season's over, though.
