Tennessee football is 4-1 coming off the bye week. The Vols have seven games in the second half of their season, and it's going to be another SEC gauntlet, starting with Arkansas at home.
With Tennessee's one loss, there isn't a lot of room for error if the Vols want to return to the College Football Playoff. ESPN's Heather Dinich projects the Vols as the No. 11 team in the CFP coming out of the bye week, predicting Tennessee will win every game except its trip to Tuscaloosa.
If the Vols can do that, they will all but secure their spot in the CFP, with primetime road wins at Kentucky and Florida, and home wins against Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Vanderbilt.
