For some reason the extremely illogical "USC cheated and robbed UT of a spot in the playoffs" thing is going around on X again.

I don't know how UT sucking for 15 years means SC somehow cheated.

When exactly was Tennessee robbed of making the playoffs, certainly not 2025, and we did not even play them in 2025.

UT fans assume had we not defeated them 63-37 in 2022 that they had a path to the playoffs, as they would have otherwise finished 11-1. I don't think they would have made the SECCG, but they probably figure 11-1 in the SEC would have gotten them in over TCU or OSU. This argument, of course, is based on their assumptiong that Michigan gave us UT's play calls.

In any event, they've never answered the argument: If Michigan had a guaranteed blueprint for beating UT, they would have just kept that to themselves in the event that they were matched up against them in the playoffs.

Nothing wrong with one coach helping another. I used to do that even on the youth baseball level. Help someone I liked beat someone I didn't. So what. Don't be so unlikeable.

Well, they tackled Lattimore at the knees and ruined his career.

I thought Michigan sign stealer Connor Stallions has been pretty open in disclosing everything he did, on certain podcasts but denied any involvement in the SC Tenn game, not sure why he would lie about that? I dont think he had any involvement in that game, more that Beamer finally demoted our idiot OC from game planning and calling plays or did something to distance from him behind the scenses and it started on that game.,

U people do know the Michigan dude said it was laughable to think he was giving UT plays and signals to SC since they could have possibly had to play UT. Said they saved the information for themselves if needed. Why tip off UT and have them change signals.

But hey, whatever makes UT feel relevant is fine with me. O look, Rattler just threw another TD
