Tennessee became a strange talking point during the main College Football Playoff rankings controversy

Key Highlights

• 9 seed in the playoff over Notre Dame and Miami (the Hurricanes took the final spot at No.
• 10), Yurachek said the following:“We evaluated all of those conference championship games and felt like in the end, regardless of Alabama’s performance yesterday, their body of work in those first 12 games when they had probably the best win, arguably, this whole season, winning at No.
• 3 Georgia.
• And having to win against Vanderbilt, win against Tennessee as well, that their strength of schedule was the highest in the top 11.”Oh, now that win against Tennessee means something?
• This is what the same man said about Vanderbilt beating Tennessee on Tuesday after the Commodores stood pat at 14:“The committee has a great deal of respect for Vanderbilt and what they have achieved, an amazing season, a 10-win season.
