If you're looking for the worst College Football Playoff projections of the day, we found them for you. 

You won't find anything worse than what CBS Sports' Jerry Palm put out on Sunday

Palm's latest College Football Playoff projected rankings have Tennessee at No. 10 after the Vols' convincing 33-14 win against Mississippi State on Saturday night. 

That's pretty rough to have the Vols that low — especially after they were No. 7 in the committee's rankings last week. 

But here where it gets absolutely bananas. 

Palm has Alabama at No. 3 in his rankings after the Crimson Tide's blowout win against LSU. 

This has got to be a joke, right? There's no way that someone that works in sports media actually thinks that an Alabama team that's 7-2 and lost to the Vols last month should be the No. 3 seed while Tennessee at 8-1 should be the No. 10 seed. 

Alabama lost to Vanderbilt and Tennessee! 

Tennessee has a narrow road loss to Arkansas and a win over Alabama! 

You don't need advanced analysis to see what a horribly biased prediction this is from Palm. A second grader could tell you that the team with the better record and the head-to-head win deserves to be ranked higher. 

There's no point in listening to anything Palm has to say at this point. He's completely embarrassed himself with this incredibly bizarre prediction. 

It's no wonder why Vols fans are skeptical of the national media…
