No. 7 Tennessee sees rivalry game with Vanderbilt essentially as 'playoff' game
Yep. Tennessee (9-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference; No. 8 CFP) has a lot on the line Saturday at in-state rival Vanderbilt. A win affects not only their position in the College Football Playoff bracket, but a big win could land them an on-campus game in December. The Vols routed UTEP 56-0 last week to wrap up an undefeated season at Neyland Stadium.
