The regular season is in the books for Tennessee, and a season after their first College Football Playoff appearance, the Volunteers don't look to be in line to make it back this season. After an 8-4 season, Tennessee just suffered too many losses this season to be in contention to get back into the playoffs.
So, with a bowl game on the horizon for the Volunteers and the regular season officially over, players are already planning for their future, and for quite a few of them, it doesn't have Tennessee in it. Head coach Josh Heupel was already handed the bad news that defensive lineman Jamal Wallace would be entering the transfer portal.
