The Tennessee Volunteers are going to be a part of the new 12-team College Football Playoff. However, some pundits see the Vols getting a small bit of unfortunate news nonetheless.
ESPN’s Heather Dinich and CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm put out their latest bracket projections, and the Vols check in as the #9 seed, traveling to face #8 seed Ohio State in the first round. The winner there would go on to face the #1 overall seed, who is currently projected to be Oregon. If it’s Oregon, that quarterfinal game would take place in the Rose Bowl.
