The Vanderbilt Commodores could be one of the first teams to play their bowl games, according to the latest projections.

Ultimately, 13 SEC teams ended up being bowl-eligible. There are nine SEC bowl tie-ins. That means that if four SEC teams make the College Football Playoff, all SEC teams will end up in an SEC bowl. That became more likely after Miami's loss to Syracuse.

The Vols’ defense, which held Vandy quarterback Diego Pavia to 104 passing yards, contributed to the scoring with a third-quarter safety that made the score 33-17. Tennessee’s run of 29 straight points culminated with a Max Gilbert’s 22-yard field goal that gave the Vols a 36-17 lead with 8:24 left in the contest.
