ESPN revealed their latest college football bowl game projections after the completion of Week 7's action and they still don't think the Tennessee Vols will land in a marquee post-season game.
Despite the Vols' 20-13 win against the Texas A&M Aggies, a game in which Tennessee's defense was dominant, ESPN has UT coming up short of a premier bowl game.
Mark Schlabach has Tennessee playing Iowa in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on New Year's Day.
Kyle Bonagura, meanwhile, has the Vols playing Maryland in the Music City Bowl on December 30.
(Tennessee fans might riot if they have to go to Nashville for another Music City Bow. And it's nothing against Nashville — it's obviously a close drive for most Vols fans — but the Music City Bowl, more often than not, seems to have wild endings that don't go Tennessee's way.)
The Vols obviously have their sights set higher than the Music City Bowl or the Citrus Bowl. But they have a tough stretch coming up they have to get through if they're going to land in a marquee bowl game.
The Vols can probably afford one more regular season loss if they want to have a shot at a New Year's Six bowl. That means they have to beat either Alabama or Georgia. Both games are winnable — Georgia is the best team in the country so far, but they aren't as dominant as last season — but they will be anything but easy.
