A prediction for where the Tennessee Volunteers will land in the college football playoff rankings on Tuesday.

The college football playoff rankings will be released Tuesday evening after a very chaotic weekend of college football. Alabama lost to Oklahoma, Ole Miss lost to Florida, Ohio State defeated Indiana and Colorado lost to Kansas. All of those things are likely good things for Tennessee as they will rise in the rankings this week.

Tennessee knew they were going to need some help after losing to Georgia on the road two weeks ago and they got more than enough of it this past weekend. They were on the outside looking in when they rankings were released last week and this week they will be back into the mix. The only question is how far will the Volunteers rise?

College Football Playoff Rankings Prediction:

  1. Oregon
  2. Ohio State
  3. Texas
  4. Penn State
  5. Notre Dame
  6. Georgia
  7. Miami
  8. Tennessee
  9. SMU
  10. Indiana
  11. Boise State
  12. Arizona State
  13. Clemson
  14. Alabama
  15. Ole Miss
  16. South Carolina
  17. Iowa State
  18. Tulane
  19. Texas A&M
  20. BYU
  21. UNLV
  22. Illinois
  23. Colorado
  24. Army
  25. Kansas State

Tennessee has a game against Vanderbilt this weekend and if they can get past them, they will have locked down a playoff spot for good. At that point, it's just a matter of if they will host a first-round game or if they will have to travel on the road. Nonetheless, if Tennessee takes care of business, they will have a shot at the national title during the postseason.
