1
00:00:07,757 --> 00:00:09,092
[dramatic music playing]

2
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:13,847
[Andy Staples] It all comes down to this,

3
00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:17,684
the last Saturday
of the college football regular season.

4
00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:20,311
Three months, 12 games.

5
00:00:20,395 --> 00:00:22,022
This is the culmination.

6
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:26,693
Teams are vying
for 12 spots in the playoff,

7
00:00:26,776 --> 00:00:30,864
and a chance
to maybe get through that meat grinder

8
00:00:30,947 --> 00:00:32,907
and play for a national championship.

9
00:00:32,991 --> 00:00:34,534
-[players yell]
-[fans cheer]

10
00:00:34,617 --> 00:00:36,327
[commentator] Touchdown, Carolina!

11
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:38,872
[Harry Lyles Jr.] This is the week
where it all comes to a head.

12
00:00:42,584 --> 00:00:45,420
The top-five conference champs
are automatically in,

13
00:00:46,463 --> 00:00:49,716
but which SEC teams
can get into those next seven?

14
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:52,218
[man 1] Tennessee's definitely
in the college football playoff.

15
00:00:52,302 --> 00:00:55,430
[man 2] South Carolina's peaking
at the right time. You get to nine wins,

16
00:00:55,513 --> 00:00:56,765
playoff is still a factor.

17
00:00:57,974 --> 00:00:59,893
[Josh Heupel]
Don't take anything for granted.

18
00:00:59,976 --> 00:01:03,855
It's always about the plan to win,
dominating the fourth quarter.

19
00:01:03,938 --> 00:01:06,858
[coach 1] You worked your ass off
for this moment, so you make sure, guys,

20
00:01:06,941 --> 00:01:09,486
you go out there, leave everything you got
out there on the field,

21
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:11,654
you play your ass off for one another.

22
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:12,822
[coach] Preparation creates?

23
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,741
-[team] Confidence.
-[coach] Confidence creates?

24
00:01:14,824 --> 00:01:17,702
-[team] Swag.
-[coach] Swag allows you to do what? Ball.

25
00:01:18,411 --> 00:01:19,871
[Andy] This is the SEC.

26
00:01:20,497 --> 00:01:22,332
If you don't win a national title,

27
00:01:23,708 --> 00:01:25,001
you failed.

28
00:01:33,218 --> 00:01:34,844
[producer] Here's a big question.

29
00:01:36,346 --> 00:01:39,557
What is the Playoff Selection Committee
and how would you describe it?

30
00:01:39,641 --> 00:01:40,600
[laughs]

31
00:01:40,683 --> 00:01:42,727
Oh, man. [chuckles]

32
00:01:42,811 --> 00:01:45,980
"What is the Playoff Selection Committee?
Can you describe it?"

33
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:48,316
[Andy laughs]

34
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:50,735
[producer] How will the playoffs work
this season?

35
00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:52,028
[laughs] Oh my God.

36
00:01:53,196 --> 00:01:55,156
[Andy] All right, let's do it.
Let's do it.

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,282
All right.

38
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:57,325
[inhales sharply]

39
00:01:59,869 --> 00:02:01,287
[dramatic music playing]

40
00:02:01,371 --> 00:02:04,999
[Andy] In the final month of the season,
a select group of athletic directors,

41
00:02:05,083 --> 00:02:07,460
former coaches,
and college football dignitaries

42
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:09,546
meet weekly in Grapevine, Texas,

43
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:10,964
to determine the fate

44
00:02:11,047 --> 00:02:13,758
of every top college football team
in America.

45
00:02:14,259 --> 00:02:17,387
This is the college football
Playoff Selection Committee.

46
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,431
Whatever your rationale is,
it better be good, you know,

47
00:02:20,515 --> 00:02:22,600
because this has a lot of implications.

48
00:02:22,684 --> 00:02:26,354
Most sports have
an objective set of criteria

49
00:02:26,437 --> 00:02:27,939
that allow teams to make the playoffs.

50
00:02:28,940 --> 00:02:30,859
But 13 people talking,

51
00:02:31,442 --> 00:02:33,153
well, that's completely subjective.

52
00:02:33,236 --> 00:02:34,404
We're learning their criteria.

53
00:02:34,487 --> 00:02:37,240
That's what we have to do every year
this time when they start coming--

54
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:38,241
We have to learn.

55
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:40,577
-'Cause I feel like it changes every year.
-Yeah!

56
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:42,912
[Andy] Going into the final week
of the season,

57
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:45,665
there's probably about six open spots.

58
00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:48,001
The cutoff line to make the playoffs
seems to be ten wins

59
00:02:48,084 --> 00:02:49,335
in the regular season.

60
00:02:49,419 --> 00:02:52,172
Anything less,
and you're at the mercy of the committee.

61
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:53,923
What's your record?

62
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:56,801
Did you win your conference?
What's your strength of schedule?

63
00:02:56,885 --> 00:02:59,637
How did your wins look?
How did your losses look?

64
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:01,097
All of these things matter,

65
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:03,725
but the prevailing criteria
to make the playoffs

66
00:03:03,808 --> 00:03:06,436
still seems to be just win.

67
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:08,104
Just win, baby.

68
00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:15,695
[intriguing music playing]

69
00:03:15,778 --> 00:03:18,531
[radio host] This has got to be the year
if Tennessee wants to contend.

70
00:03:18,615 --> 00:03:20,909
[sports pundit] I think
that Tennessee is good enough

71
00:03:20,992 --> 00:03:24,204
to be in the mix to win
the national championship this year.

72
00:03:24,287 --> 00:03:25,788
-[fan] Hey, Coach.
-What's up, guys?

73
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:27,373
[woman 1] I just want to say thank you

74
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:29,709
for making football fun
in Tennessee again.

75
00:03:29,792 --> 00:03:31,711
-[woman 2] Exactly!
-Eh, we got some work to do.

76
00:03:31,794 --> 00:03:34,130
[woman 1] We're having this signed
for one of our friends.

77
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:37,842
-You want me to sign it right here?
-Yeah, right there in the orange. Yeah.

78
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:40,803
We're trying to figure out a pathway
that you can play on.

79
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:42,722
-Pathway? Just win, man.
-Hell, yeah.

80
00:03:42,805 --> 00:03:44,807
-All the way.
-That's all it takes.

81
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:47,602
[Andy] Tennessee is in the mix
for one of those last playoff spots,

82
00:03:47,685 --> 00:03:50,146
but the Vols are in the driver's seat.

83
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:54,525
Tennessee is 9-2,
heading to Nashville to play Vanderbilt.

84
00:03:54,609 --> 00:03:57,820
The word for the week is "finish strong."
They've got to do that.

85
00:03:57,904 --> 00:03:58,821
Yep, 100%.

86
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:02,200
-You're a heck of a coach. Seriously.
-In everything we're doing. Appreciate it.

87
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:03,326
Okay.

88
00:04:03,409 --> 00:04:06,246
[Bob Kesling] We're with Tennessee coach
Josh Heupel tonight on Vol Calls.

89
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:09,749
Tennessee and Vandy coming up on Saturday.
Coach, good to see you.

90
00:04:09,832 --> 00:04:12,168
Great to see you.
Wednesday night. Come on.

91
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,963
[Bob] Coach, fun playing big games
in November,

92
00:04:15,046 --> 00:04:17,298
and you've got a big game
in November coming up Saturday.

93
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:18,841
[Josh] It's gonna be a big-time game.

94
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:22,095
[man] How do you keep your team
focused on Vanderbilt

95
00:04:22,178 --> 00:04:24,806
versus looking out past Vanderbilt
into the future?

96
00:04:24,889 --> 00:04:28,851
Man, um, this is the best league
in-- in college football,

97
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:31,729
and, you know, we're playing
a really good Vanderbilt team.

98
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:33,523
Obviously, offensively,

99
00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:37,402
the quarterback is kind of the key
to the ignition that makes them go.

100
00:04:37,485 --> 00:04:40,071
[Bob] Pavia has run the ball
165 times this year.

101
00:04:40,154 --> 00:04:41,447
That's a lot for a quarterback.

102
00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:44,617
[Josh] At the end of the day,
this is the biggest game of the season,

103
00:04:44,701 --> 00:04:48,705
and we need to go finish it
in the right way.

104
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:50,957
High goals inside of this program.
You know?

105
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,627
End of the day, the standard's
to go chase and win championships.

106
00:04:54,711 --> 00:04:57,505
Getting into the playoff
and go in and win.

107
00:04:57,588 --> 00:04:58,631
[spacey music playing]

108
00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:01,467
Vanderbilt, we have
a-- a rivalry with them,

109
00:05:01,551 --> 00:05:03,219
an in-state rivalry at that.

110
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:08,433
They're a good team, they're competitive,
but, man, we're-- we're hungry over here.

111
00:05:08,516 --> 00:05:09,892
Being a two-loss team in the SEC,

112
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:11,894
just gotta do something
to separate yourselves.

113
00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:13,896
[bold music playing]

114
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:17,900
I was raised by two athlete parents.

115
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:20,653
My mom was a volleyball player.
My dad played football.

116
00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:22,947
So, the environment I was raised in is,

117
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:26,200
"Be the best, be well-mannered,
treat people the right way, but win."

118
00:05:26,284 --> 00:05:30,079
And, um, losing in any way,

119
00:05:30,163 --> 00:05:31,080
I just hate it.

120
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:34,167
You got to take advantage
of every moment, every rep,

121
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:36,544
every single day.
Does everybody understand?

122
00:05:36,627 --> 00:05:37,837
[players] I understand.

123
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,424
[Bru] I love the sport of football.
It's, like, kind of like going to war.

124
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:42,383
[brash music playing]

125
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,927
Like, if this were ancient times,

126
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:48,139
and like, would you rather be
back at the castle,

127
00:05:48,222 --> 00:05:51,434
or would you rather be out on the field?
Like, I want to be in the front.

128
00:05:52,268 --> 00:05:55,104
And I want to be… that guy.

129
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:58,191
[Josh] There's one thing
that takes us to the next level,

130
00:05:58,274 --> 00:06:00,651
playing really smart football.

131
00:06:00,735 --> 00:06:03,863
We do that,
we don't give anybody anything,

132
00:06:03,946 --> 00:06:06,074
fuck everybody else. All right?

133
00:06:06,157 --> 00:06:07,325
We'll go dominate their ass.

134
00:06:07,408 --> 00:06:09,744
-You guys understand what I'm saying?
-[all] Yes, sir.

135
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:11,204
-One team!
-Rocky!

136
00:06:11,287 --> 00:06:13,247
[players chattering indistinctly]

137
00:06:18,336 --> 00:06:22,090
[Andy] At 6-5, Vanderbilt's playoff hopes
are absolutely gone.

138
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:24,759
But they're not gonna
just lay down and quit.

139
00:06:24,842 --> 00:06:25,676
[brash music playing]

140
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,932
The Vandy players would love
to crush Tennessee's souls

141
00:06:31,015 --> 00:06:34,143
by winning this game
and keep Tennessee out of the playoff.

142
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:36,437
I want to fucking beat Tennessee.

143
00:06:36,521 --> 00:06:38,272
And I need everyone
to be on the same page.

144
00:06:38,356 --> 00:06:39,190
[players] Yes, sir.

145
00:06:39,273 --> 00:06:42,151
We can beat Tennessee
literally any given Saturday.

146
00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:46,572
We're not leaving that stadium
on Saturday without a win.

147
00:06:47,156 --> 00:06:48,032
[coach] Push!

148
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:49,784
They think they're gonna destroy us.

149
00:06:49,867 --> 00:06:51,786
Fuck every single one of them dudes,
you know?

150
00:06:51,869 --> 00:06:53,704
We're gonna win this game at all costs.

151
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,582
You're low, you're square, you're long.
You're fucking tough.

152
00:06:57,166 --> 00:06:58,042
[players] Yes, sir.

153
00:06:58,126 --> 00:07:00,461
You may not like this version of me,
but I'm pissed.

154
00:07:00,545 --> 00:07:02,171
And I want to beat Tennessee.

155
00:07:02,672 --> 00:07:05,591
Are you gonna let them take away
who you are as a football team?

156
00:07:05,675 --> 00:07:06,551
-Are you?
-[all] No.

157
00:07:06,634 --> 00:07:08,886
-Then it starts this morning.
-[all] Yes, sir.

158
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:10,054
[whistle blows]

159
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:11,514
[all cheer]

160
00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:18,271
[Andy] South Carolina has been
in the SEC since 1992,

161
00:07:18,354 --> 00:07:21,482
and the Gamecocks have been underdogs
pretty much the entire time.

162
00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:22,942
[ominous music playing]

163
00:07:23,025 --> 00:07:23,901
But this season,

164
00:07:23,985 --> 00:07:27,155
ever since the win against Oklahoma
and especially the win against Texas A&M…

165
00:07:27,238 --> 00:07:28,698
[commentator] Touchdown, Carolina!

166
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:31,784
[Andy] …South Carolina's been on a tear.

167
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:35,037
[pundit] Finally, you are seeing
the trajectory of what this team could be.

168
00:07:35,746 --> 00:07:36,789
[Andy] Vanderbilt,

169
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,332
Missouri…

170
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:40,918
then Wofford.

171
00:07:41,002 --> 00:07:42,920
The Gamecocks are one
of the scariest teams

172
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:44,255
in the country right now.

173
00:07:44,338 --> 00:07:45,965
Put us in the playoffs!

174
00:07:46,716 --> 00:07:48,634
[air horn blows]

175
00:07:48,718 --> 00:07:52,305
I'm a positive-thinking guy,
and I love the quote,

176
00:07:52,388 --> 00:07:57,226
"Your investment level in something
equals your expectation level."

177
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,187
[gentle music playing]

178
00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:02,148
We've been a team, every year
that I've been here as the head coach,

179
00:08:02,231 --> 00:08:05,401
that's gotten better as the season went on

180
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:08,779
and has always played its best football
in the month of November.

181
00:08:08,863 --> 00:08:10,865
[players grunting]

182
00:08:12,241 --> 00:08:14,368
-[whistle blows]
-[air horn blows]

183
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:17,371
[Andy] Sitting at 8-3,
the last game for them is Clemson.

184
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:21,667
A win would put South Carolina at 9-3

185
00:08:21,751 --> 00:08:23,711
with wins over a lot of strong teams.

186
00:08:23,794 --> 00:08:26,881
[Debo Williams] We always say,
"Your hard work will create room for you."

187
00:08:26,964 --> 00:08:29,759
So just put the work in,
and everything you want will happen.

188
00:08:29,842 --> 00:08:32,053
I tell my team, "Every game,
I die on that field for you."

189
00:08:32,136 --> 00:08:33,387
I'mma give you everything I got.

190
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:34,764
[coach] Here we go. Ready?

191
00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:36,933
Thirty of 'em, go, let's go.
Thirty of 'em, let's go!

192
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:40,019
[Debo] That's the difference. How much
do you love it? How bad do you want it?

193
00:08:40,102 --> 00:08:41,896
-Our Father…
-[all] …who art in heaven…

194
00:08:41,979 --> 00:08:44,941
[Shane] I don't believe
that we've gotten everything out

195
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:49,111
that we could have at this point,
and it's all right there in front of us.

196
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:52,406
This is a year that I think
is really going to define Shane Beamer.

197
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:55,284
Beat Clemson, and you're still alive.

198
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:58,246
You can be in that conversation
for the college football playoff

199
00:08:58,329 --> 00:09:00,706
to win a national championship.

200
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:02,792
[birds chirping]

201
00:09:06,462 --> 00:09:08,464
[pulsing music playing]

202
00:09:09,340 --> 00:09:12,385
[reporter] Big matchup,
South Carolina and Clemson.

203
00:09:12,969 --> 00:09:15,888
Both teams with a lot on the line.

204
00:09:17,014 --> 00:09:20,476
[Todd Ellis] The Tigers still have hope
of making the college football playoff.

205
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,603
The Gamecocks could stomp out that dream

206
00:09:22,687 --> 00:09:25,565
and still have a chance
to make the playoffs themselves

207
00:09:25,648 --> 00:09:27,692
with a win over the Tigers.

208
00:09:27,775 --> 00:09:29,569
-[fans cheer]
-[man] Let's go, Debo!

209
00:09:29,652 --> 00:09:33,322
At 8-3, South Carolina
absolutely has to win this game

210
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:35,449
to have a chance to make the playoff.

211
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:37,660
And a win against a team
as good as Clemson

212
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:39,620
is only going to help the résumé.

213
00:09:39,704 --> 00:09:40,705
At least historically,

214
00:09:40,788 --> 00:09:45,459
the Playoff Selection Committee
has liked good wins over everything else.

215
00:09:45,543 --> 00:09:47,587
It doesn't get much better
than beating a team

216
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:50,381
that the committee has ranked
higher than you this week.

217
00:09:50,464 --> 00:09:52,466
[suspenseful music playing]

218
00:09:55,511 --> 00:09:58,347
We want to finish this season
as strong as possible.

219
00:09:58,431 --> 00:10:01,142
We've still got a chance
to win a national championship.

220
00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:03,185
Everything we want is right in our hands.

221
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,730
We've got a chance
to really make a statement

222
00:10:05,813 --> 00:10:08,566
about how good we are.

223
00:10:08,649 --> 00:10:11,110
In our mind,
we are one of the 12 best teams.

224
00:10:12,111 --> 00:10:14,030
[Todd] 3:55 left in the ballgame.

225
00:10:14,113 --> 00:10:16,073
[bombastic music playing]

226
00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:17,617
Sellers in the pocket.

227
00:10:19,201 --> 00:10:20,077
Gonna run.

228
00:10:22,663 --> 00:10:24,415
Touchdown LaNorris Sellers!

229
00:10:24,498 --> 00:10:26,667
-[Tommy Suggs laughs]
-[Todd] From 20 yards out!

230
00:10:26,751 --> 00:10:28,628
The Gamecocks take the lead!

231
00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:30,129
[fans cheer]

232
00:10:33,716 --> 00:10:35,801
In the pocket, rolling right side.

233
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:37,803
Throws underneath. Is the ball picked off?

234
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:40,473
-[Tommy] He's got it! [laughs]
-[Todd] It is!

235
00:10:40,556 --> 00:10:44,060
They shut it down
with 12 seconds to go in the ballgame.

236
00:10:44,143 --> 00:10:46,145
[triumphant music playing]

237
00:10:47,355 --> 00:10:48,564
Yeah!

238
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,233
[reporter] What kind of grit
did you see from your team today?

239
00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:52,318
Um…

240
00:10:53,235 --> 00:10:54,528
[voice breaks] I'm sorry.

241
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:57,948
[sniffles] I'm so happy for these players.

242
00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:00,117
The fight that our guys showed…

243
00:11:00,701 --> 00:11:02,745
Uh, I'm just so… [chuckles]

244
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:04,997
They deserve this.

245
00:11:05,081 --> 00:11:06,707
[cheering]

246
00:11:07,792 --> 00:11:09,835
[players chattering indistinctly]

247
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:11,295
[players laugh and yell]

248
00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:14,924
[Shane] What a day. What a win.

249
00:11:15,007 --> 00:11:16,842
I've never been more proud of this team.

250
00:11:16,926 --> 00:11:19,595
If that ain't fireproof,
I don't know what is!

251
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,597
[cheering]

252
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:24,350
We're going to finish this season
the right way

253
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:27,478
and get in the playoffs.

254
00:11:28,062 --> 00:11:29,647
South Carolina's still got a chance.

255
00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:32,191
They're still alive,
they're still breathing.

256
00:11:32,274 --> 00:11:33,984
Now it comes down
to what the committee says.

257
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:35,903
Hey, hey!

258
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:38,447
[ominous music playing]

259
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:41,492
[reporter] It's Tennessee and Vanderbilt,
the Volunteers and the Commodores,

260
00:11:41,575 --> 00:11:45,287
as they decide what happens
on this final day of the regular season.

261
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:47,832
[music turns dramatic]

262
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:55,214
[Andy] This is the highest-stakes
Vanderbilt-Tennessee game

263
00:11:55,297 --> 00:11:57,591
that's ever been played,
because if Tennessee wins,

264
00:11:57,675 --> 00:11:59,760
they're going
to the college football playoff.

265
00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:03,180
If they lose,
it becomes a very different conversation.

266
00:12:04,473 --> 00:12:06,809
[reporter] Tennessee and Vandy,
there's more hatred there

267
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:08,352
than you would expect.

268
00:12:08,436 --> 00:12:10,855
You got to be thinking
going into this one, from either side…

269
00:12:10,938 --> 00:12:14,108
The Tennessee side, "All we gotta do
is beat the Dores, we punch our ticket."

270
00:12:14,692 --> 00:12:16,736
And if you're a Vandy fan, man,

271
00:12:16,819 --> 00:12:20,156
you can play the ultimate spoiler.

272
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,242
[Bru] Vanderbilt, they're the underdog

273
00:12:23,325 --> 00:12:25,411
with an opportunity
to make another statement.

274
00:12:26,370 --> 00:12:27,872
That's like the junkyard-dog effect.

275
00:12:27,955 --> 00:12:29,832
Back against the wall,
they're throwing punches.

276
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:32,168
They're going to bite, scratch, and claw.

277
00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:34,170
And as a competitor, it's just like,

278
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:36,630
"Man, I just can't wait
to just squash that."

279
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:38,132
[suspenseful music playing]

280
00:12:38,215 --> 00:12:40,885
[Josh] Let's go, man. Hey!
The most physical team on the field.

281
00:12:40,968 --> 00:12:42,970
All right? One-play mentality.

282
00:12:43,053 --> 00:12:44,930
Snap it clear. Go play the damn next.

283
00:12:45,014 --> 00:12:46,766
Go take this damn thing,
one play at a time.

284
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:48,517
[player] Let's go, man. Move!

285
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:54,356
[reporter] The Commodores can clinch
their first winning season

286
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,275
since 2013 with a victory.

287
00:12:57,026 --> 00:13:00,571
For Tennessee,
it appears a win equals a playoff berth.

288
00:13:01,322 --> 00:13:04,033
But nothing is guaranteed.

289
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:07,453

Hey! Let's go!

292
00:13:11,999 --> 00:13:13,125
Let's go.

293
00:13:13,209 --> 00:13:15,669
[player] God damn it! Let's go! Come on!

[Dave Pasch] Junior Sherrill
on the kick return for Vanderbilt.

296
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:31,936
And he's got some room.

297
00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:35,356
To the crib. To the crib! Uh-huh, uh-huh!

298

[Dave] Junior Sherrill going to take
the opening kickoff back

[Dave] Sampson on the right side.

Ball came out,
and Vanderbilt saying they have it.

306
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:01,257
They do!

307
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:03,467
A fumble recovery by the Commodores

308
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:06,095
after they just returned
the opening kickoff for six.

309

[driving music playing]

310
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:10,891
Alexander gets the edge.

In! Touchdown Vanderbilt.

312
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:15,187
What a start for the Commodores.

[cheering]

314
00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:18,482
[Jeff] We didn't start
the way we wanted to.

315

Not anything extraordinary
that you got to do

316

when it's not going right.

317
00:14:23,153 --> 00:14:25,823
It's literally just 11 guys settling in

318
00:14:25,906 --> 00:14:28,534
and doing the ordinary things
at-- at a really high level.

319
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:31,412
Let's go, Vols.

320
00:14:31,495 --> 00:14:33,414
Let's go!

00:14:33,914 --> 00:14:34,957

Great response
by Nico Iamaleava and the Vols.

327

Nico off play-action,

328
00:14:56,061 --> 00:14:58,022
and he hits Thornton in stride.

329
00:15:03,819 --> 00:15:06,405
Eighty-six-yard touchdown.

The Tennessee Volunteers,

exactly what they want to know.

00:23:55,642 --> 00:23:57,727
trying to figure out
what this committee's gonna do.

509
00:23:58,812 --> 00:24:01,106
Obviously, you don't want
to be in a position

510
00:24:01,189 --> 00:24:03,900
where your fate's controlled
by anybody but yourself.

511
00:24:04,401 --> 00:24:06,445
With the playoff committee and everything,

512
00:24:06,528 --> 00:24:08,613
you keep your fingers crossed
that things go your way.

513
00:24:08,697 --> 00:24:12,117
[host 3] Yeah, and then look
at the physicality…

514
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,326
[Andy] The Vols are in.

515
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:15,787
They're just waiting to find out,
do they have a home game?

516
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:17,205
Are they going on the road?

517
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:18,540
And who are they playing?

518
00:24:18,623 --> 00:24:20,500
[host 1] One more home game left.

519
00:24:20,584 --> 00:24:22,711
All the things
that they said needed to happen

520
00:24:22,794 --> 00:24:24,796
for us to get a home game didn't happen,

521
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,091
but we still have
that small shred of hope.

522
00:24:28,175 --> 00:24:31,344
[host 1] The eighth seed,
final home game belongs to…

523
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:32,387
Come on, Tennessee.

524
00:24:33,138 --> 00:24:34,347
[both groan]

525
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,266
…Ohio State.

526
00:24:36,349 --> 00:24:39,519
[Andy] Playing on the road is tough.
Tennessee is going to have to deal

527
00:24:39,603 --> 00:24:42,147
with very, very cold weather

528
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:45,525
against a team that probably has
more accumulated talent

529
00:24:45,609 --> 00:24:47,444
than anybody else in the country.

530
00:24:47,527 --> 00:24:49,988
This is not going to be easy.

531
00:24:50,071 --> 00:24:53,200
[host 1] Big Orange really hoping
that they were going to get a home game.

532
00:24:53,283 --> 00:24:55,535
Okay, Ohio State, here we come.

533
00:24:57,204 --> 00:24:59,164
[host 3]
College football playoff rankings,

534
00:24:59,247 --> 00:25:01,291
there you go, they're final.

535
00:25:01,374 --> 00:25:03,001
[dramatic classical music playing]

536
00:25:03,084 --> 00:25:04,669
[pundit 1] South Carolina's eliminated.

537
00:25:04,753 --> 00:25:07,130
I think South Carolina
ended up getting underrated.

538
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:08,381
[pundit 2] It's a tough break,

539
00:25:08,465 --> 00:25:11,384
but, you know,
it's not a feel-good system.

540
00:25:13,053 --> 00:25:14,095
[inhales sharply]

541
00:25:16,097 --> 00:25:20,894
[Shane] Certainly been
a, uh, whirlwind 48 hours.

542
00:25:20,977 --> 00:25:23,480
Coming off a disappointment for us,

543
00:25:23,563 --> 00:25:25,106
it's not being in the playoff.

544
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:30,070
South Carolina just beat
the ACC champion on their home field

545
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:32,239
seven days ago.

546
00:25:32,322 --> 00:25:36,493
How that's not a factor
in the playoffs, I--

547
00:25:36,576 --> 00:25:38,537
That one is mind-boggling.

548
00:25:39,162 --> 00:25:41,581
It went from bewilderment
to, I'll be honest with you,

549
00:25:41,665 --> 00:25:44,042
a kind of disbelief and anger

550
00:25:44,125 --> 00:25:46,628
when I heard the chairman say

551
00:25:46,711 --> 00:25:50,090
that no matter what happens
the final weekend,

552
00:25:50,173 --> 00:25:52,968
the rankings aren't gonna change.

553
00:25:53,051 --> 00:25:56,054
To not even have a conversation,
I just-- I don't understand.

554
00:25:56,137 --> 00:25:58,306
I didn't then,
I don't now, and I never will.

555
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:01,434
I think a lot of people felt
the same way that I did.

556
00:26:01,518 --> 00:26:06,356
We absolutely had some shared struggles
in the first six weeks of the season.

557
00:26:06,439 --> 00:26:09,901
[commentator] And LSU breaks
South Carolina hearts.

558
00:26:11,027 --> 00:26:13,196
And those shared struggles

559
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,949
brought that group together.

560
00:26:16,032 --> 00:26:18,034
[cheering]

561
00:26:21,538 --> 00:26:24,249
You can say what you want.
This is the best conference in America.

562
00:26:24,332 --> 00:26:26,668
In this league, man,
the margin for error is small

563
00:26:26,751 --> 00:26:28,920
and… and everything counts.

564
00:26:29,004 --> 00:26:30,547
Thank you.

565
00:26:31,047 --> 00:26:32,215
See you soon.

566
00:26:32,299 --> 00:26:33,425
[fans cheering]

567
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:36,761
[bold music playing]

568
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:37,929
[cheering]

569
00:26:38,013 --> 00:26:39,764
[announcer] Tennessee and Ohio State

570
00:26:39,848 --> 00:26:42,350
in the first round
of the college football playoff.

571
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:44,769
Go Vols! [yells]

572
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,022
[Josh] This is what we came to do,

573
00:26:48,148 --> 00:26:50,358
you know, what we've been working to
all year long.

574
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:52,319
What's the matter with you people?

575
00:26:54,529 --> 00:26:56,531
[Bru] Right here, right now,
what's at stake?

576
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:59,451
All of our pride,
everything we've worked for,

577
00:26:59,534 --> 00:27:01,911
all the early mornings
and the late nights.

578
00:27:01,995 --> 00:27:05,498
Like, you do all that
because you have a team goal.

579
00:27:05,582 --> 00:27:07,042
[cheering]

580
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:10,253
[announcer] Glad you're with us tonight.
History about set to take place

581
00:27:10,337 --> 00:27:11,463
at Ohio Stadium.

582
00:27:11,546 --> 00:27:12,797
[tense music playing]

583
00:27:15,675 --> 00:27:17,093
And it's football time

584
00:27:17,177 --> 00:27:19,596
as the kick goes down
to the two-yard line.

585
00:27:21,556 --> 00:27:22,390
[whistle blows]

586
00:27:24,476 --> 00:27:27,020
Ohio State at the Tennessee 37.

587
00:27:27,687 --> 00:27:29,230
Guns long for the end zone.

588
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:31,107
Touchdown, Ohio State!

589
00:27:32,567 --> 00:27:34,611
Howard gonna hand it to his tailback,

590
00:27:34,694 --> 00:27:37,697
and he's into the end zone
for an Ohio State touchdown.

591
00:27:38,698 --> 00:27:40,825
[Josh] Early, man, it wasn't going well.

592
00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:42,827
They were able to put
some points up on the board,

593
00:27:42,911 --> 00:27:44,537
and you're on the wrong side of it.

594
00:27:44,621 --> 00:27:48,625
[announcer] Henderson's gonna take it
in for an Ohio State touchdown.

595
00:27:49,292 --> 00:27:51,544
[Josh] We gotta correct the things
we're in control of.

596
00:27:51,628 --> 00:27:55,715
We gotta continue to fight and compete
and find a way to go make some plays.

597
00:27:56,633 --> 00:27:57,884
[woman] Come on, Nico!

598
00:27:58,718 --> 00:28:01,554
[announcer] Second and goal at the two.
Nico out of the shotgun.

599
00:28:01,638 --> 00:28:04,724
Quarterback run to the right,
cuts it up, and he's in the end zone

600
00:28:04,808 --> 00:28:06,267
for a Tennessee touchdown.

601
00:28:06,976 --> 00:28:09,062
And Tennessee fighting back.

602
00:28:09,604 --> 00:28:11,398
[ominous music playing]

603
00:28:11,481 --> 00:28:13,066
Here's Howard throwing for the end zone.

604
00:28:13,149 --> 00:28:15,568
The pass is gonna be caught
right in stride.

605
00:28:15,652 --> 00:28:16,945
Touchdown.

606
00:28:18,655 --> 00:28:20,240
From one yard out,

607
00:28:20,323 --> 00:28:21,616
Judkins scores.

608
00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:26,996
Here's a hand-off to the tailback,

609
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,873
and breaking a tackle.

610
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,920
Now sprinting to the ten, to the five.

611
00:28:34,003 --> 00:28:35,588
Touchdown, Ohio State.

612
00:28:37,132 --> 00:28:38,591
[fans cheering]

613
00:28:40,093 --> 00:28:42,637
[Bru] Going to another team, away,

614
00:28:42,721 --> 00:28:46,808
and having thought,
like, "Well, we're the best."

615
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:48,768
[ethereal music playing]

616
00:28:48,852 --> 00:28:51,563
That's when you get humbled,
and we got humbled.

617
00:28:53,189 --> 00:28:55,442
[Josh] Disappointed with the outcome.

618
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:59,904
This is a game that comes down
to small details, hand placement…

619
00:29:02,115 --> 00:29:05,034
being in the right fundamental position,

620
00:29:05,118 --> 00:29:06,745
eyes in the right place,

621
00:29:07,495 --> 00:29:08,705
communication.

622
00:29:08,788 --> 00:29:10,248
All of it has to be right,

623
00:29:10,331 --> 00:29:13,042
and that's why victories taste so sweet,

624
00:29:13,126 --> 00:29:14,919
'cause they're-- they're hard to come by.

625
00:29:15,003 --> 00:29:16,963
And, uh, when you're
on the wrong side of it,

626
00:29:17,046 --> 00:29:19,174
uh, it hurts, um… hurts badly.

627
00:29:20,008 --> 00:29:22,635
But absolutely, uh, disappointed, uh,

628
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,473
in the, you know, performance tonight

629
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:28,057
for our fans. Um…

630
00:29:28,683 --> 00:29:31,019
The amount of people that traveled, the…

631
00:29:31,102 --> 00:29:34,230
It's every week.
Uh, it's 365 days out of the year.

632
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:37,734
So, uh, disappointed for them, absolutely.

633
00:29:37,817 --> 00:29:39,819
[poignant music playing]

634
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:46,993
[Bru] College football is crazy. You know?
You never know what's gonna happen.

635
00:29:47,076 --> 00:29:49,412
So even though
we didn't reach all our goals,

636
00:29:49,496 --> 00:29:51,372
we're still in a-- in a good spot.

637
00:29:51,873 --> 00:29:55,126
But, um, it's hard
not to kick yourself in hindsight,

638
00:29:55,210 --> 00:29:57,420
you know, think
you could've done a little bit more.

639
00:29:58,963 --> 00:30:00,757
[Josh] You know, it's hard. Um…

640
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,676
It's hard because you don't have
the-- the win that you want.

641
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,305
It's hard because you know it's the end
of-- of that journey with those guys.

642
00:30:07,388 --> 00:30:09,974
And anytime you end a season,

643
00:30:10,058 --> 00:30:13,478
it's a unique feeling because you know
it's never gonna be the same.

644
00:30:13,561 --> 00:30:15,230
I'm really proud of what we've done,

645
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:18,691
but I couldn't be more excited
about where we're going as a program,

646
00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:20,527
and we gotta keep taking steps,

647
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:23,446
but, um, we're working
towards that every single day.

648
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,203
[dramatic music playing]

649
00:30:30,286 --> 00:30:33,957
[Andy] It's been three glorious months
of SEC football.

650
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,709
-[yells]
-The ending is always bittersweet.

651
00:30:36,793 --> 00:30:38,378
[announcer] Touchdown, Ohio State!

652
00:30:38,461 --> 00:30:41,339
[Andy] A lot of teams are disappointed
because they wanted something more.

653
00:30:41,422 --> 00:30:42,924
We're sitting here again!

654
00:30:43,007 --> 00:30:44,801
But the sweet part
is there's always next year.

655
00:30:45,343 --> 00:30:47,178
[fans cheering]

656
00:30:48,012 --> 00:30:52,308
[Harry] Going into the offseason,
every SEC team has been reloading.

657
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:53,268
[music intensifies]

658
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:56,938
[reporter] LSU are once again top ten
in the recruiting rankings right now.

659
00:30:57,021 --> 00:30:59,232
[Andy] This looks like a great roster
for the Tigers.

660
00:30:59,315 --> 00:31:01,985
But of course, Garrett Nussmeier is back.

661
00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:03,778
[Garrett] Our goal's to win
the championship.

662
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:04,904
I'm not afraid to say that.

663
00:31:04,988 --> 00:31:06,948
We know what the expectations are
for us this year.

664
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:09,951
[Whit Weeks] Next season,
it's either natty or bust.

665
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:12,370
The cool thing about it,
we get all three brothers next year.

666
00:31:12,453 --> 00:31:13,955
[Whit] West got hurt.

667
00:31:14,038 --> 00:31:17,709
Because he only played three games,
he was able to come back next year.

668
00:31:17,792 --> 00:31:19,335
Of course, I was like, "Heck, yes!"

669
00:31:20,003 --> 00:31:22,213
Zach, our little brother,
is coming in too.

670
00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:23,548
-[grunting]
-[whistle blows]

671
00:31:23,631 --> 00:31:24,591
Attaboy, Zach.

672
00:31:24,674 --> 00:31:26,301
There's gonna be
three Weeks brothers here,

673
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:27,635
that's gonna be pretty special.

674
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:28,928
That was fucking awesome.

675
00:31:30,138 --> 00:31:34,100
[Harry] Clark Lea finally got
his team to believe.

676
00:31:34,601 --> 00:31:37,270
And Diego Pavia is that guy.

677
00:31:37,353 --> 00:31:39,188
[Clark] The journey isn't finished.

678
00:31:39,272 --> 00:31:43,234
The end point is when Vanderbilt football
is among the best in the world.

679
00:31:45,069 --> 00:31:46,779
[Andy] Billy Napier made it to next year.

The Gators' hopes ride
on the right arm of DJ Lagway.

681
00:31:50,241 --> 00:31:53,745
[reporter] Next season, is there one thing
that you're hoping that you can achieve?

682
00:31:53,828 --> 00:31:55,788
I just want to make
the college football playoffs.

683
00:31:55,872 --> 00:31:57,624
It's the goal of mine
and the goal of my team.

684
00:31:57,707 --> 00:31:59,834
[Andy] We got a taste of what he can do.

685
00:32:00,793 --> 00:32:04,297
Gamecocks, already top-15 preseason team.

686
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:05,715
Go be who we say we are.

687
00:32:05,798 --> 00:32:08,134
There's just a great hunger
with our guys returning,

688
00:32:08,217 --> 00:32:09,344
particularly our quarterback.

689
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:14,307
You saw LaNorris take another step,
which is exciting going into next year.

690
00:32:14,390 --> 00:32:16,351
[announcer] Sellers into the end zone!

that preseason Heisman buzz.

692
00:32:19,479 --> 00:32:21,898
This is a team
that could really surprise people.

693
00:32:23,358 --> 00:32:25,109
[bombastic music playing]

694
00:32:25,193 --> 00:32:26,235
[Andy] The SEC…

695
00:32:26,903 --> 00:32:29,072
It's the most competitive conference
in college football

696
00:32:29,155 --> 00:32:31,741
because the talent is so much deeper.

697
00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:36,329
[Harry] The SEC had 79 players
drafted into the NFL.

698

Maxwell Hairston and Deone Walker get
to stay with each other

701
00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:45,713
with the Buffalo Bills.

702
00:32:47,548 --> 00:32:49,884
The SEC, best talent, most exposure.

703
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:50,927
Love you guys.

704
00:32:51,010 --> 00:32:54,180
[Diego] Every year is a new year.
Every team is different.

705
00:32:54,263 --> 00:32:55,264
Let's go kick their ass.

00:32:55,348 --> 00:32:56,724
[music intensifies]

707
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:59,227
[Diego] Any given Saturday, you could win,

708
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:01,854
you could fall
to the worst team in the SEC.

709
00:33:04,065 --> 00:33:06,234
You leave it up to chance
if you don't bring your best.
