Schedule is out. UT adds a game at LSU and at the KC Chiefs. Kidding. I think.  |

I’m guessing no fans allowed. But if I can get in that stadium, I will. |

It's gonna be so interesting... If stadiums are at 25-50% capacity (if fans are allowed at all), stadiums that are traditionally tough places to play will be largely neutered.

Yep. If this season goes the distance, we could end up with a real off-the-wall champ at the end. Expect the unexpected. |

The fix is in - UGA and Bama to the playoffs. Bunch of BS. I'd still be shocked if there's any football at all tho.

I feel like the season will start, but I'll be shocked if we get halfway through before the plug is pulled. |

This confirms that the SEC office will do anything to assure that there is an SEC team in the playoffs. I expect that some AD's are nursing grudges right now.

They haven't failed yet. Is it a bad thing? If you win your games, you will be in. The SEC champ SHOULD be in the playoff every year. That's the homer in me talking. But it still comes down to your team performing on the field. The Vols haven't done that in awhile. What is the downside of having an SEC team in the playoff every year? Aren't we the only conference that hasn't missed the playoff since it started? The playoff should be the four best teams. Hell most years the SEC has arguably two of them. |

You're missing the point. If the league is arbitrarily scheduling games to help give their top contenders an easier road to the playoffs, that IS a bad thing. And maybe it's pure coincidence, but it's hard for me to look at the teams that were drawn by Alabama, Georgia and LSU — who just happen to be the league's top 3 contenders — and not think that there's something fishy going on. |

I don't even have a huge problem with our draw. Both are winnable. But both are lose able.. basically both are real games. They protected their best teams by giving them gimmies for both. If they have wanted to be fair they could've broken up the divisions and just opened it up. But, fair is not what they were going for.

Just wait for the scheduled dates of the games when it comes out in the next week or so. It will be the second round of working towards a pre-determined outcome by the SEC office.

like I said,win your games, you will advance. If we ever beat UF, UGa and Bama in the same season we will be right in the playoff mix. Besides, this season/year is a one time only situation I hope.
