@DaveHenson

The video recap is the opinion of John Miller, not the main writer for this site — me, John Pennington. So I really don’t know what you’re comment is about.

Thanks for visiting the site,John

Uh, so, you do realize that LSU and Georgia are now ranked higher than Florida in the BCS, right? In this week’s video recap, you still think only Alabama and Florida have a chance to meet for an all-SEC national championship game and then layout a three-fer scenario for Florida (LSU beating Bama, Ole Miss or Auburn beating Georgia, then Florida beating LSU for SEC championship) to get them to the national championship game versus Alabama. That is quite the stretch for the ol’ Gators, sir. A more feasible scenario might have Georgia winning out, including an upset in the SEC championship, only to be rematched with one-loss Alabama for the national championship. Or, LSU winning out and playing one-loss Alabama for the national championship (sound familiar?). Both are more likely than your Florida triple ding dong scenario.

I thought I’d made it clear in the Vanderbilt portion of the story why the teams listed as “basement contenders” were placed in that category — they’ve all won two fewer SEC games than Vandy and currently sit winless at the bottom of their respective divisions.

Hard to say that Auburn, Kentucky and Tennessee aren’t “basement contenders” when they’re winless and sitting in the league cellar.

Thanks for reading the site,

Mizzou’s loss to Vandy was very bad as far as bowl chances. We just plain needed to win that game. So, I guess our best chance for an SEC road game win is at Tenn. James Franklin better be healthy (really healthy) and able to pose a real run threat or its not gonna be good.

Arkansas (3-5) with Tulsa, at S. Carolina, at Miss. State, LSU is a bowl contender yet Tennessee (3-5) with Troy, Missouri, at Vanderbilt, Kentucky is not? Extremely poor logic. They’re both bowl contending. Unless there’s something I’m missing, I assume they each would need to get to 6-6 to make a bowl. With those schedules, it’s more likely for TN to go 3-1 or better in their remaining games than Arkansas. If you want to argue that TN could lose out in the SEC and finish in the “basement”, sure they can. But your standard is stated as “what we believe each squad’s ceiling to be”. I assume that means you believe it’s highly unlikely they’ll do better than 2-2. While I could see it happening, I certainly wouldn’t consider it highly unlikely and particulary when compared to Arkansas’ chances.

[...] the meme that Tennessee is a bunch of quitters that will fold down the stretch, like last year. MrSEC.com Power Rankings – 10/30/12 Thats absolute B.S. The only way the VOLS wouldn't be bowl eligible is if they lost to Vandy and [...]
