One season ended for Tennessee.
Never think that Flights 3-7 didn’t have an explanation for why to play in a bowl. Since the NCAA declared all groups eligible for the bowl as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Flights had to play in West Virginia in the Liberty Bowl. They retired one day. after accepting the offer due to several positive COVID-19 tests within the program.
It’s ironic how it went.
Tennessee eligible due to the pandemic, but was unable to play in a bowl due to the pandemic.
With no chance of winning a fourth game, 2020 flights are enrolled in an exclusive circle of groups with 3 school wins, the recent highest of which was UT’s 1924 model.
Having covered either team, I would give credit to existing flights, which played a much more complicated schedule. The 1924 platoon couldn’t even beat The Mississippi A
Alabama 42, Notre Dame 14: I still don’t see replays, I’ll make an exception in this case. Watching the Alabama attack is a lot of fun, unless you’re looking to protect it.
Notre Dame couldn’t stop Alabama’s offensive eight years ago when he lost 42-14 in the national championship game. Expect more of the same.
Oklahoma 41, Florida 38: The Sooners can give Alabama a better game than Notre Dame, but controlled to get out of the playoffs losing two of their first three games.
It’s been a season for the Sooners, their defense has become respectable, but they don’t have a Heisman Trophy contender as a quarterback.
Freshman Quarterback Spencer Rattler probably wouldn’t keep them waiting until next season for a Heisman candidate.
Georgia 34, Cincinnati 27: The Bulldogs have had so many revolutions in their first-team defense that the Peach Bowl has a jayvee game for them. Georgia’s JVs are still smart enough to beat the undefeated Bearcats and rank sixth.
The Bulldogs couldn’t have beaten Cincinnati with their second-team defense in early October, but once JT Daniels became healthy enough to take the reins of Stetson’s quarterback Bennett, Georgia didn’t have to rely so much on his defense.
Texas A
That may be a sufficient incentive to push them beyond the Tar Heels, whose most productive ball carrier and open receiver, the Orange Bowl, did not value their time.
Mississippi State 31, Tulsa 30: Tulsa shouldn’t be too much in the Bulldogs’ 3-7 record if he needs to beat an SEC team at the Armed Forces Bowl.
Opposing defenses included coach Mike Leach’s offensive before the Bulldogs. However, the state of Mississippi was well educated in its Air Raid philosophy when it beat Missouri 51-32 in its last regular-season game.
TCU 31, Arkansas 27: Few coaches in SEC history have won only 3 games and won as much compliment as Razorbacks freshman Sam Pittman. This shows how bad Arkansas did before his arrival.
Indiana 41, Ole Miss 34: You can both score. But hoosiers are better at avoid scoring.
Northwestern 24, Auburn 20: Coaches made headlines before the Outback Bowl. Auburn just hired Bryan Harsin from Boise State, and Northwestern seeks to keep Pat Fitzgerald from being a pro.
Kentucky 23, North Carolina State 20: If the Wildcats can build the offensive, they can succeed Tennessee as Gator Bowl champions.
