The Tennessee Volunteers, currently ranked No. 25 in the College Football Playoff Top 25, find themselves at a pivotal point in the season with a record of 6-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC. Coach Josh Heupel’s team has showcased one of the most exciting offenses in the nation, ranking third in scoring and fourth in total offense. However, tough losses against three top-12 teams, including a heart-wrenching overtime defeat to Georgia and a recent setback against Oklahoma, have cost the Vols their position in the playoff race.
