There's a new bowl game projection for the Tennessee Vols after their 29-16 loss to the Florida Gators in Gainesville on Saturday night. 

247Sports revealed their updated bowl game projections on Sunday evening and they have Tennessee heading to the ReliaQuest Bowl to take on Notre Dame. 

Tennessee had mostly been projected to the Citrus Bowl by various media outlets prior to their loss against Florida. 

(Alabama, oddly enough, is now being projected to the Citrus Bowl by 247Sports.) 

The ReliaQuest Bowl was previously known as the Outback Bowl, which Tennessee last played in during the Butch Jones era (the Vols beat Northwestern in the Outback Bowl after the 2015 season). 

Tennessee obviously has their sights set higher than the ReliaQuest Bowl, but they'll need to win games over the next month against South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Alabama before they can get back in the conversation for some of the bigger bowl games.
