REVEALED: Tennessee Football Music City Bowl BOUND | CFP Selection Process FLAWED & Embarrassing
Episode 1991
Tennessee Volunteers return to the Music City Bowl, sparking frustration among fans—has the program lost its momentum under Josh Heupel? Eric Cain weighs in on the Vols’ bowl placement, examining the hidden pecking order in postseason college football and why anything short of a playoff berth now feels like a letdown in Knoxville. The Nashville destination reignites memories of heartbreak, controversy, and historic moments, including Derek Barnett’s record-breaking performance and the infamous 10-second runoff born from chaos.
Looking ahead to the matchup against Illinois Fighting Illini, Eric Cain breaks down key player stats, Bret Bielema’s coaching impact, and Tennessee’s chances against a Big Ten squad splitting carries in the backfield. The episode features a fiery critique of the College Football Playoff selection process—is the committee’s criteria flawed beyond repair, and should Group of Five automatic qualifiers finally be scrapped?
