I still think a 3rd loss knocks a team out, unless maybe it's in the CCG.

But not to worry, the impending 24-team playoff will fix that.  We'll have plenty of 3-loss and 4-loss teams in the field, maybe some 5-loss teams too because why not?

Looked like an incomplete pass to me at the time.

Then when slowed down it definitely looks like a fumble.

If Missouri had played to the whistle and recovered the fumble it would have been a massive momentum swing for them.  They probably should have done that.  I suspect next time they will.
in real time i thought  it looked incomplete but that’s as much about the behavior of the players as well as the trajectory of the ball forward.

i’ve watched it over a few times in slo mo & can’t tell.

our guys hand hits arch’s arm/hand before it is moving forward & it appears to me that his arm is moving forward when he loses control. idk what replay could do with that other than keep the call on the field which is what they did. & there’s no probably about it in terms of being alert - tx, specifically arch first was more alert as anyone could have picked that ball up. i appreciate that it’s hard to fathom a ball traveling that far forward being a fumble in the moment & that it rarely happens but it’s obv possible.

the game was poorly officiated imo. in addition to that play tx got jobbed out of a fumble at the end of the first half and we had two catches overturned that i think were receptions (one along the sideline, & another that would have been for a long gain inside the 10).

sankey gave a poor response to finebaum yday. the league needs to open the booth audio to tv in real time. it will reduce unnecessary speculation. our boards been rioting since sat, never mind our shitty kicker, the two tds we gave up thereafter, game ending turnover, or the fact we didn’t score again after that shot put fumble. more transparency will tamp narratives that stray from the truth.

I do really enjoy hearing the exchange in the other conference's VAR. SEC really needs to add that quickly.

Yes.  It certainly makes the review process easier to sit through, and I like hearing the nuts and bolts.

In reality, what real difference does it make?  Ultimately, they both have a chance to make the CFP.  I haven’t seen the latest CFP rankings, but is TN worried they won’t get in?

Nope.  Lose another and we're out.  Pretty simple.

The UGA-Ole Miss game had a similar almost pass that was ruled a fumble on the field and upheld.  I watched the replay in slow mo of course and couldn't really tell, it was on the hairy edge, to me.  That happens, so 'call on the field' ...

I think it was 28-0 at the time so not pivotal really.

The Miami-ND game had a call very late of course that also was very close, even in slow mo.

I presume if UGA beats Mizzou they likely make the CG even with a loss to USCe.  I see a lot of folks claiming Bama is likely to be the opponent.  Maybe so, if it comes down to Texas and Bama both 7-2, I'm not sure of the choice.  The Vols still get a vote of course with their win over Bama.

 I guess winning the CG still matters, to some anyway, and it probably secures that bye, which may be a good thing.

Or not.

I try and remember that these teams are not as good as they look on one Saturday nor as bad as they may look on another.

In the new 24 team world, a five loss team might make the playoff some year.
