Herbie said , have the Bowl games and then the BSC ?
Meaning take the winners of the major bowl games and turn that into a small playoff ?
We have 12 teams, 6 games (bowl games), take those winners and go from there ?

I like that idea alot. :up

Herbie's a genius. What school did he go to again?

It's too bad the big-time teams schedule cupcake opponents.

Not in tournaments they don't.

No. That's not what he said.

He said wait until after the bowl games to determine which TWO teams make it into the national championship game the following week. Even the most ardent playoff supporters would have to agree it would be ridiculous to have no game for 4-6 weeks, then play bowl games culminating in New Years Day games, AND THEN hold an 8 or 12 or 16 game playoff tournament. We'd be talking about football up until the end of January, and you would be competing with the NFL playoffs as well.

I suppose Herbstreet is not as genius as you guys thought he was. What school did he go to again?

I had to wipe The Ohio State off of me after this picture...ewwww.

John, what year was that?

I know that 'Gameday' visited Knoxville a few times.

That was in 2002 when #1 ranked Miami came to Knoxville.

Ooh, too bad Miami couldn't wipe the Ohio State off themselves the following January...

Ah, the good old days for Vol fans.

From 1989 to 2004, they were one of the most feared teams in college football (I'm including Johnny Majors' final years, where they went to the Cotton, Sugar, and Fiesta Bowls in consecutive seasons)

Yes, from '89 to '04 Tennessee went 156-40-6 (.783 win %) with 8 10+ win seasons and 0 seasons with less than 8 wins (including a 4 year stretch from '95-'98 going 45-5 with two SEC titles and a national title).
From '05-'08...27-21 (.562 win %) and on the verge of losing 8 games in a season for the first time ever.

These look pretty similar to Tennessee's records with and without Cutcliff.

BTW, John, what happened to your podcasts?

BTW, John, what happened to your podcasts?

This fall has been crazy. I haven't watched near as much football as I usually do. Between the one year old at home, pregnant wife, office moves, and everything else, I haven't been able to put the time into it.
