The Tennessee Vols are in a spot that just about every team in college football would dream to be in: in control of their own path to the College Football Playoff in November. The Vols head to College Station, Texas this weekend for a showdown with the 4-5 Texas A&M Aggies.

Tennessee, at No. 8 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings simply needs to win out to secure a home playoff game in the the first round of the playoff. But there’s more at stake for Tennessee beyond that this weekend across the country. A number of games could affect the Vols’ chances at playoff seeding as well as playing for the SEC Championship.

Here’s who Vol fans should be pulling for on Saturday.

Texas at LSU

This is the big one for Tennessee’s SEC Championship hopes. The Vols have one obstacle left to clear a path for them to get to Atlanta: the Longhorns. At 7-2 (4-2), Texas is the only team who could block the Vols from getting there. Tennessee has a head-to-head tiebreaker advantage over both Alabama and Kentucky — the other two SEC two-loss teams — so that math is easy on this one.

Geaux Tigers.

Illinois at UCLA; Duke at Miami; BC at Notre Dame; Alabama at Vanderbilt; Missouri at Georgia; Utah at Arizona

These games all include teams ahead of Tennessee in the College Football Playoff rankings. These results all speak for themselves. UCLA, Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia, and/or Utah losing would be beneficial for Tennessee moving up in the next set of rankings if the Vols can take care of business against the Aggies.

Root for their respective opponents.

USC at Indiana

This is a game between a two-loss Big Ten team knocking on the door to get back into the mix (USC) and a team currently in the field but without any good wins, and the committee let them know it (Indiana) with a five-spot drop. USC still has to play UCLA, who could deliver loss number three. Indiana could potentially leap Tennessee with a win.

As such, go Trojans.

Florida at Kentucky

This is a game where some Tennessee fans might want to see Kentucky lose and drop out of the picture further, but the Vols will remain ahead of the Wildcats no matter what if they win out. Kentucky being highly ranked and potentially a playoff team helps Tennessee’s resume significantly. And Vol fans are already pretty used to cheering against Florida.

Go Wildcats.

South Carolina at Arkansas

We’re getting pretty deep into the weeds here, but the better that unfortunate Oct. 24 loss to South Carolina looks, the better for Tennessee. South Carolina with three losses isn’t stealing Tennessee’s spot if the Vols finish 10-2.

Go Gamecocks.
