Tennessee football is all but eliminated from this year's College Football Playoff, but that doesn't mean Vols fans won't have a team to cheer for when the Playoff rolls around in December.
Former Vols offensive coordinator and current USF head coach Alex Golesh has the Bulls positioned perfectly to make a run at the CFP. They are ranked No. 24 in the updated CFP rankings, one spot behind the Vols.

Golesh left the Vols for his first head coaching opportunity with USF, where he is now in his third year in Tampa Bay.
