bretticus733 4 Really good defense and really good run game is why they beat Bama, and why they ended up in the CFP over Bama. If 55 degrees is too cold for the Vols though, they're gonna have fun in Columbus in a couple weeks.

OKgolfer 12 Tennessee is right behind BYU - they have the same record and both have one bad loss and one good win, but BYU's road win over SMU is better than Tennessee's home win over Alabama.

hurricaneatx 8 (10-2) - ✅ 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - Tennessee was fairly close to the blob of SEC teams outside the playoff at-large space, but were helped by their win against Alabama and the loss to Arkansas being back in early October, even though their non-conference schedule looks absolutely dreadful now. Quality wins: Florida, Alabama

quantum_jedi 14 (-2) Tennessee is in the playoffs! Thankfully for the Volunteers the Committee does not use my model because it does not like Tennessee very much due to their weak strength of schedule (#68 by my calculations) and unconvincing results. They went 10-2 and only played three(!) games against top-50 teams (split results against Alabama and Georgia, which is good), but their next best win is probably at 6-6 Oklahoma (#53 in my rankings) or 7-5 Florida (#45) and they have a bad loss against 6-6 Arkansas (#65). The Volunteers have looked very solid on defense, but the offense has only looked potent against bad teams. They've only scored over 30 points against #61 NC State, #66 Vanderbilt, #115 Mississippi State, #129 UTEP, #134 Kent State, and 7-5 FCS Chattanooga... Tennessee has all the pieces to make a deep playoff run, but they need to play their best football if they are going to beat Ohio State in the Shoe.
