If Tennessee scores now it will be 10-21 and the Vols receive the second half kickoff.

The second half is going to be good. OSU rode their emotions through the first quarter, but it’s kind of worn off.

They had a chance to go up 28-0 and now it’s 21-10. Tennessee will come out hard.

Everyone was so high on their defense and they got dog walked.
Could have been so much worse. Make the correct pass interference call in the end zone and it would have been 28-0 midway through the second quarter.

If anything, we’re seeing that conferences are becoming more and more irrelevant. SMU bragged about their speed, but they didn’t look that fast. Tom Allen flat out embarrassed their offense coordinator all game.

Everyone was bragging on the Tennessee defense, and they were blown out of the stadium.

Talent is talent, but without coaching, who the hell cares.

An argument could be made that both of those warm weather teams didn’t look so fast on a cold winter day in the north. Further, both were playing on the road in hostile environments. Home field advantage matters.

Exactly... Although it is scary how great/fast OSU looked in the cold. They look like a team locked in.

Speed is supposed to travel.

Yes, it travels from Florida to Louisiana to Arizona to California. Not much beyond that.
Ohio State looked pretty damn fast.

I think it’s less about speed and more about toughness. Those SEC teams are plenty tough in perfect conditions. Less so when they have any kind of adversity.

Agree. They looked like a team peaking last night from a coaching staff playing for their jobs.
Fixed it for you. I live here in Columbus area. A lot of people were saying if Ohio State lost to Tennessee that Days should be fired immediately.

They looked great, but they really had no choice but go win last night. There are still a lot of Ohio State fans that want Day gone if they don’t win it all this year.

Fans in general are idiots.

If Indiana and SMU didn't belong, well Tennessee didn't either.
Only the top 8 belonged. Could have and should have cut it at 8. Would have been perfect this year.

Edit: Actually 3&4 don’t belong either, but at least they are in on predetermined criteria.

Your post is spot on.
