CBS Bowl Game Prediction For Vols

The Tennessee Volunteers became bowl eligible with their win against Vanderbilt this past weekend.

Which means now we get to anxiously await the announcement of which bowl the Vols will play in.

If you don’t like the waiting game, then there are some bowl game predictions to tide you over until the real announcement is made.

CBS Sports has compiled a full prediction list here. They have the Vols playing Notre Dame in the Belk Bowl on December 30.

I think this would be a fantastic matchup. The Irish started the season on a six game winning streak, which had them in the thick of the college football playoff talk.

Notre Dame then lost a very close game to Florida State, rebounded against Navy and then lost four straight to close the season.

Every conference but the Big 12 and SEC have had a shot at the Irish this season. I’m sure SEC fans would love to see Tennessee get a chance to add another loss to Notre Dame’s record.

A game against Notre Dame would also be great exposure for the Vols. If Tennessee plays West Virginia or a similar caliber team, the game probably won’t get nearly as much screen time on ESPN as a game against Notre Dame would.

And it’s all about exposure, right?

Tennessee and Notre Dame last played in 2005, with the Irish winning 41-21.

A bowl game win against Notre Dame would be a fitting end to the Vols’ first winning season since 2009.
