NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Vols are looking to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff as they take on rival Vanderbilt in a final high-stakes game in Nashville to close the regular season.
There's much more than just a rivalry win on the line Saturday. The Vols are currently 9-2 and ranked No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings. A win on Saturday would mean they'd have a strong chance of making it to the playoffs this year, and an upset loss against unranked Vandy would be disastrous for Tennessee's playoff hopes.
Tennessee has a five-game win streak in the rivalry with an overall record of 80-32-5 against Vandy.
