Fortunately for us Vols fans at this point, though, there is actually still a relatively small chance at a trip to Atlanta, even if the playoff dreams are gone. So we won't be looking at this week's college football schedule to see how the Top 25 might impact the Vols, but we will still be keeping an eye on the SEC East race. Here are the standings:
| CONF | OVERALL | HOME | ROAD | NEUTRAL | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | 4-1 | 6-1 | 4-0 | 1-1 | 1-0 |
| Kentucky | 4-2 | 5-3 | 4-1 | 1-2 | 0-0 |
| Tennessee | 2-3 | 5-3 | 3-1 | 1-2 | 1-0 |
| Georgia | 2-4 | 4-4 | 1-2 | 2-1 | 1-1 |
| South Carolina | 2-4 | 4-4 | 3-2 | 1-2 | 0-0 |
| Vanderbilt | 1-3 | 4-4 | 2-2 | 2-2 | 0-0 |
| Missouri | 0-4 | 2-6 | 2-3 | 0-3 | 0-0 |
The long shot to Atlanta includes Tennessee winning out (including a win over Kentucky) and Florida losing two more games.
