Despite boasting one of the nation's most explosive offenses, the Tennessee Volunteers (6-3, 3-3 SEC) find themselves at the very edge of the rankings, checking in at No. 25 in the initial College Football Playoff Top 25.
While coach Josh Heupel's squad continues to put up eye-popping numbers — ranked third nationally in scoring and fourth in total offense — tough losses to three top-12 teams, including a heartbreaking overtime defeat to Georgia and a recent home slip-up against Oklahoma, have left the Vols as the lone three-loss team in the debut rankings. With just three regular-season games remaining, Tennessee's focus has now shifted from a playoff return to securing a strong finish and a high-profile bowl bid.
Here's how to watch the Vols' next game.
