Nico Iamaleava Injury Update & What The Vols Need to Do to Beat Georgia, Latest CFB Playoff Rankings

The latest batch of the College Football Playoff Rankings are out, we run through the SEC teams and where they are ranked. Is Texas getting TOO much credit in sitting in the Top 5 with not many marquee wins on the season? Did they ding Georgia too much for their quality losses at Alabama and at Ole Miss? Is this Tennessee at Georgia game an elimination game for the Bulldogs? Also, is the SEC not getting the benefit of the doubt this season? Too much love for the mediocre Big 10?

Also, can the Tennessee Volunteers maintain their momentum in the SEC Championship race? With the latest College Football Playoff rankings placing Tennessee at #7, the stakes are higher than ever for the Volunteers and their rivals, including the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Ole Miss Rebels.
