Tuesday night wasn’t a great one for the Tennessee Vols. UT was ranked 11th, but was the first team out of the bracket. As such, the Vols needed some help in order to get back into the playoff field.
Boy, how they got it on Saturday.
#9 Ole Miss fell to a resurgent Florida team 24-17 in Gainesville, knocking the Rebels out of the field. #5 Indiana also got thoroughly whipped by Ohio State 38-15, likely triggering a large drop in Tuesday’s new rankings. However, the big one was #7 Alabama getting blasted 24-3 by Oklahoma in Norman, the Crimson Tide’s first game without scoring a touchdown since 2011.
