Here are the All for Tennessee official Southeastern Conference, New Year’s Six, and College Football Playoff bowl projections following Week 13.

Talk about a cluster. The SEC has thrown all of our bowl projections for a loop with no team having fewer than three losses outside of the Alabama Crimson Tide.

And after this weekend, it’s highly unlikely that any team will have fewer than four losses.

That simply screws up our SEC bowl projections.

The Louisville Cardinals losing to the Kentucky Wildcats and a few other upsets have screwed up our New Year’s Six projections.

And our College Football Playoff projections have really been thrown for a loop when you consider the fact that the best team outside of Alabama may not even be the champion of its own conference.

Then there’s the Tennessee Vols. Calls to fire Butch Jones are louder than ever after he likely screwed up his team’s chances of reaching the Sugar Bowl. And now, we have no idea where they are going.

So as we get set to bring you our final round of bowl projections, it’s safe to say we still don’t have a strong idea. But we do have a much better idea than we have had in previous weeks.

Once again, these projections are based on where we have teams ranked and how they will be ranked based on their schedule at the end of the year.

So the conference championship games will affect our projections. These are not power rankings, and they certainly aren’t our current regular rankings. They are simply where we project teams to be at the end of the season based on our rankings.

And the end of the season is one week away. So here are our final bowl projections before that happens.
