After sitting down and doing this poll, I actually feel better about Tennessee’s position. The loss sucks but my gosh it’s carnage across the country.

Trying to rank Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Ole Miss, Florida, LSU and Missouri is insane

Florida arguably has the two best wins and two worst losses

We can no longer ignore Texas has two top 10 wins at home. Plus the TN win on the road.

Also, THIS IS WHY WE NEED 24 TEAMS IN A PLAYOFF

Either that or go back to 2-4 because good luck deciding how to decide who gets in a 12 teamer here. This is going to be a mess. We still have a month left !

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

I think that because there isn’t a team in college football has proven this year that they can win these three in a row. It’s just how the year has shaken out. Idk why LSU fans think I just don’t like them or have some vendetta against them lol.

If LSU wins these three 3 straight weeks they’re probably the national title favorite.

[TC @tcgoldrush]

@ESisson7 I wonder why you think that? 🤦

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@ReedCarringer Appreciate it! This is my only outlet to do what I went to school to do. Sports journalism so I get some of that here 😂

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

As a Tennessee fan, you get LSU in a PERFECT spot. You HAVE to beat Kentucky and A&M though for it to matter

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

I don’t think LSU is winning out with these three in straight weeks

Bama
Texas
At Tennessee

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@TshOw23 Very possible

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

I keep looking at the SEC schedules the rest of the year and nothing I’ve seen indicates that any one or two teams are just going to simply win out. Georgia MAYBE.

But I think of all the 2 loss teams currently in the league, ALL will take a third loss and most will take a 4th.

Here is how it shakes out for every 1/2 loss teamscurrently and the 1 or 2 loss teams they play the remainder of the year.

Georgia: Florida, Ole Miss, Missouri

Bama: LSU

Ole Miss: Georgia

(Bama and Ole Miss the only 2 loss teams with only one game remaining against a 1-2 loss team)

Tennessee: Kentucky and LSU

Florida: Georgia and Kentucky

Kentucky: Tennessee, Florida, Missouri

LSU: Texas, Bama and Tennessee (these are all back to back to back. YIKES)

Texas: Missouri and LSU

Missouri: Texas, Georgia, Kentucky

This doesn’t even take into account teams that play sneaky 3 loss teams like South Carolina and Auburn. Not to mention, OU actually only has 2 SEC losses as well.

Absolute carnage incoming

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

Dang. Ole gal just been on the sideline all season writing down which stocks to sell off and get future assets for

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Trade: Colts are sending three-time Pro-Bowl DT DeForest Buckner back to the 49ers, the team that made him a 2016 first-round pick before dealing him to Indianapolis in 2020, per me and @rapsheet. Now Buckner returns to San Francisco, fortifying the 49ers defensive line.

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@Lauren_Chris People think I’m hating on LSU. Not the case. Have you watched college football this year? I’m not sure I’d pick ANY team to go 3-0 during that stretch

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

I don’t think LSU is winning out with these three in straight weeks

Bama
Texas
At Tennessee

[LeBlue @sdLeBlue]

@ESisson7 LSU wins out.

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@TheRoyalePain Agree

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

I mean this is nuts. How many of these 3 loss SEC team make the playoff?

[INSIDE THE GAMECOCKS 🐔🤙🏻 @InsideGamecocks]

My updated projected final standings going into Week 9

UGA loss @ Ole Miss
Ole Miss loss @ Oklahoma
Tennessee Loss v LSU
Alabama loss @ LSU
Mizzou loss @ UGA
Kentucky loss @ Mizzou and @ Tennessee
South Carolina loss v UGA

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

I got a lot of LSU fans coming at me. I also think LSU CAN win all three of Bama, Texas and Tennessee but there isn’t a team in college football that has gone undefeated during a stretch like that this year. That’s just not what this season and ultimately the sport is anymore.

Protecting home field is incredibly important.

[TelorDe🐯 @TelorDEsuvage]

@ESisson7 I think lsu 100% can. Honestly the hardest game is at Tennessee. And I think our defense is definitely good enough to win that

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@Bp3rdue @rpeacock75 Yeah when we gonna learn college football isn’t a simple apple to apples comparison like this anymore

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

LSU has zero wins against a currently ranked team. A&M are frauds and Miss State didn’t have their QB.

AT auburn was impressive but I need to see more.

[Evan Scales @evanxscales]

@ESisson7 Honestly, they’ve got a great chance. Texas stinks, Bama is hurt and Tennessee can get beat on the perimeter and deep. Idk if I’d bet money on it but I could see this happening

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@Bp3rdue @Gummer2121 This argument has nothing to do with a comparison of Tennessee and LSU. I think the most likely scenario is both go 2-1 those three weeks

[Mike Rodak @mikerodak]

Among the 9 teams in the SEC with 1 or 2 losses overall, there are still 10 more guaranteed losses to be distributed:

Florida-Georgia
Alabama-LSU
Georgia-Ole Miss
Kentucky-Tennessee
Texas-Missouri
Missouri-Georgia
Florida-Kentucky
Texas-LSU
LSU-Tennessee
Kentucky-Missouri

Georgia (Georgia Tech) and Kentucky (Louisville) also still have P4 non-conference games to play.

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@rpeacock75 Agree

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

I just noticed Scott Frost went back to UCF after coaching at Nebraska and taking some time off and still beat a ranked team before Nebraska could

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

Mid to below average teams typically get exposed. If this is accurate, then we will have 2-3 teams standing alone at the top at the end of November. I just don’t see that happening. I saw 1-2 teams fall off into the bottom tier but no more than that

[trey @allstarplayer27]

@ESisson7 People will see this and say “mid teams beating up on each other”😂😂these people on twitter really is delusional

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@BratsNBaseball For sure. I was primarily focused on the sec title race but no doubt that’s a factor in the playoff race

[Eric Sisson @ESisson7]

@aabc_south Oklahoma could really make a mess of things finishing 9-3 with that loss to Michigan lol

This message from Paul in his second letter to the Corinthians reminds me a bit of parenting

“For I wrote to you with many tears out of an extremely troubled and anguished heart—not that you should be hurt, but that you should know the abundant love I have for you.”
