SAD NEWS: After quarrelling with the head coach star player makes shocking announcement today….

Tennessee football head coach Josh Heupel is entering a pretyy comfortbale season with his program.

There is somewhat of an expectation to make the college football playoff this season, but people also wouldn’t really bat an eye if they were to narrowly miss that window either.

It can be difficult to get things rolling with a new starting quarterback, but the Volunteers are in a good standing to be a top-12 team this season.

However, 247 Sports does not expect Tennessee to be that this season. In fact, they expect them to narrowly miss the college football playoff and earn a rematch against Iowa in the Reliaquest Bowl. Not exactly the most glamorous postseason destination, but again, as long as Tennessee is in the hunt until the very end, don’t expect Volunteer fans to be running with their torches and pitchforks.

247 Sports did predict four SEC teams to make the playoff this season – Georgia, Texas, Alabama and Ole Miss.

Regardless of what the preseason predictions say, Tennessee fans at the very at least can expect a fun season.

Nico Iamaleava being the starting quarterback for the first time in his career outside of a bowl game, James Pearce Jr. on defense fighting to be the first overall pick and a lot returning faces with some new faces on both sides of the football.
