With South Alabama and Vanderbilt left on the schedule, Tennessee has a pretty good shot to get to six wins and secure bowl eligibility. That would be a win for Josh Heupel in year one, as he’s immediately raised the bar in Knoxville.
Who might that bowl opponent be? What if it’s Clemson? That’s what the latest projection at CBS Sports says.
Clemson is finally in the midst of a down year, sitting at 4-3 on the year. They’ve dropped games to Georgia, N.C. State and Pittsburgh so far, as issues at the quarterback position have plagued Dabo Swinney’s group to this point.
