A clear favorite emerges both in both projection and possibility for Tennessee.
A week after our six projections were sending the Vols to five different bowl games, a favorable consensus is beginning to emerge:
Northwestern is a lot like us in terms of strength of schedule and quality losses, they're just missing in the close call department. The Wildcats have a season opening win over Stanford to their credit, and their only losses are to Michigan and Iowa. They did lose those games on consecutive Saturdays by a combined score of 78-10. But they've also responded with four straight wins, including 13-7 at Wisconsin last week.
