The Tennessee Volunteers, fresh off of a huge win over then No. 6 Kentucky, moved up to No. 8 in this week’s College Football Playoff rankings. The Vols dismantled Kentucky, pulling away late to make a statement to the committee. It was Tennessee’s second signature win, joining Alabama on the resume. Alabama moved up to No. 3 in this week’s rankings.
Tennessee is now +3000 to win the National Championship, according to Fanduel Sportsbook. They’re suddenly just +1600 to win the SEC title.
The Volunteers travel to Texas A&M this weekend, then host LSU next weekend. The Tigers tumbled to 21st after being mauled by Alabama last Saturday. Tennessee will close with Vanderbilt. The Vols still control their own destiny here — win out and there’s nothing to worry about. Drop one of these final three and your chances dwindle quickly.
The biggest surprise here? Indiana tumbling from No. 4 to No. 9 off of a bye week. Their strength of schedule took a hit last weekend, and it feels like the committee corrected itself here on a weak resume.
Georgia climbed up to No. 1 after dominating Ole Miss on the road. Utah, Alabama, UCLA and Notre Dame round out the top five.
