figured that's about 6pm in German time.

Arkansas is not as good as La Tech so yep..

 

[The Fatboy]

bad. we been pretty lucky this year with getting the nighttime kickoffs? I can only remember one 11 am kick and that was KSU.

 

[RocketDawg]

They're probably figuring we'll lose to Alabama and won't be ranked by the time we play Arkansas.

Somebody's got to play at 11, and some pretty big college football names have had that timeslot this year.

I'm ready for a day game. These night games have been killing me. It will be nice to get home at a reasonable time.

I love night games, but it's nice to get a couple of day game during the season.

 

[Sickdawg]

Understood, it just amazes me how big of a hard on CBS has for the vols.

 

[hogfan14]

Blame us lol. Probably our 5th 11 AM game this year.

Hey y'all should blitz LuSH all the time all day. Just don't let them cross the 31. Since Coach O threw them all under the bus the other night, I'm sure they'll be "amped up" for the game.

This is one of the dumbest posts that I have ever read. We are likely to be 14 in the CFP tomorrow night. There is no 17ing way we drop 10+ spots no matter the outcome this Saturday.

There has not been a 4-loss team appear in the CFP rankings before the games concluded in Week 13 in the 4-year history of the CFP rankings....ever. Yet, you are predicting we’ll be in there at 6-4 after Week 11? No chance in hell. We aren’t going to be ranked in the conventional polls either.

The two teams playing that Saturday, barring a total miracle in either of their matchups this weekend, will have 12 combined losses. It absolutely makes sense that it is an 11 AM game.

 

[ArcherSPS]

I'll bet you a shiny nickel that we'll be ranked next Tuesday in the CFP.

Yep and up until last year there never has been two teams from the same conference in the play off. You don't know what this committee will do. Any ways to your point has there been any team with four loses which all four are to other top 20 teams. That will be considered in that room. You can bet your *** on that.

It was what I was hoping for. I only go to one or two a year with some old friends and we got this game at the beginning of the year and forgot to setup a place to stay. So the 11 start is perfect for a 1 day deal.

The CFB playoff poll has only been around for 4 previous years of week 13. That’s an extremely small sample size. We are going to be around 13 or 14 so it’s highly unlikely we drop more than 11 spots for doing the same thing every other team in the nation is going to do against bama.

First off, we are at 16th, not the 13th or 14th people predicted from baseless speculation.

Second, people keep talking about the strength of the losses. But we don’t have any signature wins. Auburn at CFP #24 is our best win and our only CFP Top 25 win. A 6-4 team with no signature wins doesn’t belong anywhere near the CFP Top 25 or any other Top 25 either. It’s just nonsense.

If we are ranked after losing to Bama, we would have the lowest winning percentage of any team ranked in any CFP poll ever released, over 32 different poll releases and 800 different team records over those releases. Let that sink in. It won’t happen.

How many times has a 6-3 team been ranked in the top 16 in the history of the CFP rankings?

I agree with SterlingArcher. What is the difference in a 6-3 team that is ranked #16, and the same 6-4 team that lost on the road to a dominant #1? Nothing. The committee is smart and realizes this. They've always been good about recognizing strength of schedule.

We will be ranked next week.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

We requested this due to the early game the following week. It isn't rocket science. Cohen is the AD, the same coach who played a home regional game at 1 pm in 97 degrees to get a bigger break.

I wonder how some of you walk and chew gum at the same time.

There have been 10 teams ranked in tbe CFP polls at 6-3 or 5-3 (when LSU had a weather cancellation against a G5 team), including FSU at #18. You wanna split hairs about 2 spots, be my guest, but we are hardly breaking new ground by being ranked where we are at 6-3. 6-4 is a totally different story.

Just forget the committee for a second, and ask yourself, does a team that is only one game over .500 against FBS opponents through 10 games and no Top 20 wins deserve to be ranked in the Top 25 of any poll or rating system? I would say absolutely not, and if it were any team besides ours in that position you would have many people here saying the same thing.

The difference is a loss. The CFP is a resume comparison up to that point, nothing more and nothing less. Your season outlook means nothing. Your “eye test” which is subjective at best and the biggest problem with the conventional polls means nothing. It doesn’t matter who we lose to, it matters that teams behind us will be winning and moving up while we are moving down. They will very likely find 25 teams with better records than 6-4 that also have some good wins in their pocket.

You pretty much become more dumb the more you post in every single thread in which you participate. I've noticed that trend.

So, the answer is 0 6-3 teams in the CFP ranking history have been ranked in the top 16 before this week. Thanks.
