Through all of the struggles and NCAA uncertainty, talking bowl projections for Tennessee has been non-existent this year. However, with a seemingly unending investigation and a key win over Missouri, that has changed this week.
Tennessee appeared in Jerry Palm’s bowl projections this week at CBSSports, projected to play in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl in Charlotte. Their projected opponent was North Carolina, which would set up a rematch of that wacky 2010 Music City Bowl.
The Volunteers currently sit at 3-2 overall and are 12 point favorites against South Carolina this week.
