Why we're taking Tennessee football seriously as a national championship contender

from The Volunteer State · host USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee

Tennessee football played like a complete team against Oklahoma.  Was it Josh Heupel's most impressive victory as Tennessee's coach? No. But, more so than any other game, it showed that the Vols can win with defense. And wins like that will be needed as Tennessee aims to advance from being a good program to becoming a national championship contender. On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, Adam Sparks and John Adams weigh in on Tennessee's national championship potential. They also push back on the argument that Heupel coached too conservatively against Oklahoma.  And, they engage with a doomsday scenario that could keep Tennessee out of the playoff if the Vols finish 10-2.
