Tennessee is officially out of the College Football Playoff picture, as we knew already. The Volunteers blew it on Saturday night, letting South Carolina blow them out, 63-38. Making matters worse — quarterback Hendon Hooker is now out for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL. Joe Milton gets the ball from here, and he needs to beat Vanderbilt to get Tennessee in the New Year’s Six.
Tennessee came in at No. 10 overall in this week’s College Football Playoff rankings. The Volunteers fell five spots after that embarrassing loss to the Gamecocks.
Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU took the top four spots this week.
