Predicting how far the Tennessee Volunteers will rise in the latest college football playoff rankings.

Another round of college football playoff rankings will be released Tuesday evening, and due to some more chaos occuring, it is likely the Tennessee Volunteers will continue to rise. Last week they came in that No. 8 but with both Miami and Ohio State taking their second losses of the season this past weekend, they should climb up even higher.

Tennessee took care of their own business against the Vanderbilt Commodores and finished the regular season with a 10-2 record with losses to Arkansas and Georgia, both on the road. After the loss to the Bulldogs, it was not certain that the Volunteers would even be in the playoffs and now they are in a prime spot to host a first-round game as well. So with that said, here is a prediction of how the college football playoff rankings will shape out Tuesday evening.
