Sad News Tennessee Vols QB has been suspended for 3 matches for using foul language over his team mates immediately after their….

The 2024 season marks the first year of the 12-team College Football Playoff.

The new extended playoffs bring playoff opportunities for teams across every conference in college football.

It also allows Tennessee football to cement itself as a long-term CFP team by making its first CFP in 2024.

Kelley Ford breaks down how many wins each team in college football will need to make the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff using the KFord Ratings.

Tennessee comes into the 2024 season in an interesting situation.

Josh Heupel has guided the Vols to 20 wins over the past two seasons, which should set them up to be a CFP contender this year.

According to Ford’s rankings, it would take Tennessee ten wins to make the PlayoffsPlayoff.

The system also heavily weighs the strength of the schedule, which is why Florida is alone with eight wins.

They would have to beat at least four opponents: Miami, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, LSU, Ole Miss, and Florida State.

Ford also noted that the order is important. Michigan State’s nine wins would be more impressive than Tennessee’s, which could serve as the tie-breaker between the two teams looking to get into the playoffs with nine wins.

If Tennessee wants to reach ten wins this season, the Vols must start the year 3-0.

That means beating Chattanooga, North Carolina State, and Kent State.

This seems relatively simple, with the only potential hiccup coming against NC State.
