[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 351215"] Well, here is what I tell myself. It was a first game, so at the end of the season, it literally won't matter. If we run the table the rest of the way, we still get into the CFP because of our strength of schedule and being 11-1. If we lose just a couple times and finish 9-3 or 8-3 (depending on if we make the ACCCG), that's still going to be worthy of a high ranking. By that point if we finish ranked #13 or #18 it won't really matter that much. In my mind there are only 2 ways Tennessee will end up mattering. First, Tennessee will matter if we don't get to 6 wins. But honestly, missing the UCF game, that means we'd be 5-6. I don't know if we'd petition for an exception for a bowl game. But either way, we will have had a lot more issues than the Tennessee game if that happens. Second, if we lose in the ACCCG and that's only our 2nd loss. If that happens, we're likely out of the CFP, because we'd be 10-2 and there would likely be too many 1 loss teams. Whereas if that would have been our first loss and we were then 11-1, you could still argue for getting in, because that would mean we would have beat TN, Miami, Virginia Tech, Clemson, georgia, etc. Both of those scenarios to me are highly unlikely, so I've moved past the Tennessee game. Besides, we beat the ever living dog snot out of them anyway. That will help with rankings and what not when people see the statistical imbalance, the 1 point loss, and that we did that by going for 2 on the last play. [/QUOTE]
