Another week, another step closer to the first ever 12-team College Football Playoff. Tennessee remains sitting in a great spot coming out of the open date, following a big road win at Oklahoma. They’ll have to navigate another hostile setting this weekend as they head west to Arkansas.
Tennessee should be favored heavily in every game remaining but two — Alabama in Knoxville and Georgia in Athens. However, just as we saw with Ole Miss last weekend, you simply can’t afford to overlook anyone in the SEC.
The Volunteers continue to move up the pecking order, and now just about every analyst has them in the playoff field.
