This doesn't look like the Tennessee team I've seen this season.  Almost feels like a fix game.  Everything is going Ohio State way.

They got a put these games in neutral locations going forward. Home field is just way too much of an advantage for a team arbitrarily seeded higher.

It's awesome for the campuses and the fans of the home teams but coming from a guy who selfishly just wants to see competitive football please put these games in neutral locations.

Yeah, a lot of people were talking a lot of noise about how SEC teams wouldn't have been getting done up like this through the first three games and now this has been the most lopsided start yet.

Yup. There is not a single team outside of the 12 that would have a chance, and that is the whole idea, to make sure everyone with a chance gets in. Who is 11 or 12 is irrelevant.

Bingo. The 12 team format is good. There will always be squabbles about the bubble teams but 12 is gonna get in everyone with a legit chance.

Now just move the games to neutral locations to remove home field advantage.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
