College Football Playoff predictions, bowl projections for Tennessee Football

Projections for this Tennessee team have varied. On3’s Andy Staples has the Vols in the College Football Playoff as a No. 11 seed in the new 12-team bracket while ESPN has them as one of the first four teams out of the field. One bowl projection has Tennessee all the way down to the Las Vegas Bowl.

Tennessee is ranked No. 14 in ESPN’s College Football Preseason Power Rankings, one spot ahead of where the Vols were ranked in both the Associated Press Preseason Top 25 and US LBM Preseason Coaches Poll in recent weeks.

ESPN’s Football Power Index has Tennessee ranked No. 9 overall with a projected win-loss of 8.6-3.5. The FPI gives the Vols a 95.4% chance to win at least six games, a 5.5% chance to win the SEC, a 36.9% chance to make the 12-team College Football Playoff, a 6.0% chance to make the national championship game and a 2.7% chance to win the national title.
