Is the SEC East essentially over?

[Gator Fever]

Looking at the schedules of Tennessee and Georgia and the tiebreaking rules I don't see us coming out on top in any 3 way 2 SEC loss scenario. Tennessee would have the edge over us in all of them it appears. If we were lucky and our 2nd loss was @ Arkansas and Tennessee lost to Georgia as one of their 2 losses they would still have the tiebreaker over us because they catch Bama and A&M this year which would have a better combined conference record than our western opponents of a down LSU team and Arkansas.

Since we wont be winning any tiebreaker scenarios against Tenn at 2 SEC losses I just don't see us winning the East right now.

I guess there is the prayer scenario we run the table in our remaining SEC games and Tenn loses 2 SEC games which is a likely possibility but with 4 remaining SEC games which are probably really dangerous looking at us now I don't see that happening even though I won't rule it out totally until we get a 2nd SEC loss.

I think you are being a bit pessimistic. UT goes to Athens Saturday, then to College Station. Then they get Bama at home. I can see two losses there.

Yep but I am convinced we lose 2 SEC games best case scenario even though I will always hold out hope. That would mean a UT win over Georgia basically ends the East race for us.

 

[Countygator]

If we can get by Arky, we will end up 7-1 in conference play.

The schedule does give this team hope. Tennessee has a brutal schedule, but if we continue to be more concerned with trash talk this team has more losses coming its way. Also, tired of once again every other play we have a player on the ground. This team is undisciplined and soft...not the ingredients for a team that is as good as our players think they are.

This is why we will play the games.

 

[TennesseeGator]

Just win out...don't worry about other teams.

Mc, get your players and coordinators ass in gear and win out.

Let the others teams take care of one another. We have enough to worry about

 

[oozie7]

No. The SEC East isn't very good and we have the easiest schedule out of the top three contenders. We can beat any of the better SEC teams left on our schedule, but unfortunately we're capable of losing to any of them too. Nothing would surprise me either way.

You guys should be shooting for 500 in league play. Also, yes the east is definitely over.

Hahaha haha, wait you actually think you can win 7 SEC games?

 

[46885]

you actually think you can go to Atlanta? LOL vol fans don't even know how to get there


the last time they went they got beat down by us 59-20... The same will happen to you and then back to the regular scheduled crying and wanting butch gone. You WILL LOSE 2 of the next three no matter what, and the A&M and Bama games won't even be competitive.

I remember when Florida was able to back up the trash they spewed...

And we already kicked your ass missing half our defense so the same thing won't happen, dumbass.

 

[VOL37920]

Are u all really that anxious about being embarassed by bama?

 

[46885]

you already prepping for the inevitable watching of Florida play in Atlanta again, you don't wanna get trounced by Bama twice.

last year bama beat flawda 29-15. Tennessee was much closer 14-19. and this year TENNESSEE was good enough to throttle flawda. I say we have a better fighters chance than do the gayturds.

 

[TexanNole]

UT could easily lose two games (Bama, A&M?)

 

[oozie7]

UT stands a good chance of losing to Bama and A&M, possibly UGA and Mizzou as well. The issue is that we pretty much have to go 7-1 to win the East since they own the tiebreaker. Its possible but not likely. Between UGA, LSU, Mizzou, and Arkansas, idk if we don't drop 1 and maybe 2.

Sure, it matches the number of chromosomes you are missing.

Ahhh, awesome logic there.....should I explain it to you, because I am certain you won't figure it out on your own.

Of course every game has the potential to be a loss but Missouri and Georgia are awful. Shoot, you guys might even go 2-0 against them....but probably not.

Mizzou isn't awful. They lost a tough game on the road to WVU and then a fluke game to UGA. Their QB is also playing some of the best ball in the country right now. I think UGA is bad, but they should get better as Eason gets more PT. We should beat both but they'll present some problems.

 

[PacoGator19]

Mizzou is a team to watch IMO. They should have beat UGA. Don't sleep on Mizzou

 

[oozie7]

Agree. Heupel has done a great job with Locke and that offense. I read that the 79 points they scored the other day is more points than they scored all of last year. That's insane. They have some really nice skill guys and a d-line that can apply lots of pressure.

Congrats on your first win in 12 years, but guess what, dumbass, that doesn't give you any bragging rights, you need to win a few more before you can do that, so I would suggest you cool it with your derogatory comments to Gator posters on this board, get it?

Agreed with the bold portion of your post. UF is not out of it at all. In fact, they have the much easier draw with the crossover games. LSU is a hot one dimensional mess and Arkansas is clearly beatable if UF can play four inspired quarters. UT has 'Bama and aTm. Easily could drop them both. As another poster stated...Focus on the remainder of the schedule and there is a better than fair chance of playing Bama/aTm in Atlanta. Georgia, Vandy, USCe, and KY are borderline horrible. Mizzou could be the hidden wild card and they travel to both Gainesville and Knoxville.

Well Chubbs is out today so hopefully that backup RB plays well.

The TV guy? I hope he plays well.

Aren't you? Because that's what's happening regardless who goes to Atlanta.

He wasn't here BEFORE the game running his cock holster, so **** him.

 

[Gator Fever]

Dobbs looks like sh*t against Georgia so far.

 

[Dannygator1989]

17-0 UGA.

Classic trap game.

UT with a 12 year hangover and UGA pissed after a loss (and doing so without Chubb).

 

[46885]

UGA's two chokes on 3rd down letting the QB do the only thing he can do will get them beat in the 2nd half. They get the ball to start the 2nd half, same thing as last week and UGA's defense isn't good enough to get it done without their running game keeping it up. Ill be amazed if either UNC or uga win how they both choked the end of the halves.

It wouldn't be surprising if Georgia blows this game.

 

[46885]

Georgia has already done it

 

[instaGATOR]

The SECe isn't over yet, but I'm fast losing hope...

 

[46885]

couldn't have been more predictable.. UGA will lose

 

[Dannygator1989]

Tennessee is just clutch. I wish we had a coach half as good as butch. Our jackass coach can't make adjustments or coach up a QB to save his life.

Lol...okay.

Half as good as Butch?

My my, what a day.

 

[Gator Fever]

Edit: We aren't alive

 

[Zoni_Gator]

wow. What a game. There is no quit in Tennessee. Can't say the same about Coach Mac and the Gators this year.
