    4 days ago | usatoday.com | Blake Toppmeyer |John Adams

    Battle lines are forming in the ongoing debate for the future of the College Football Playoff's format. The Big Ten wants to rig the playoff with a stacked deck of auto-bids.

Facing elimination against the Vols at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, the Demon Deacons came up clutch in a 7-6 victory on June 1 to force a winner-take-all game on June 2 (8 p.m.).

  • A year ending in 5 has been eventful for Tennessee football and 2025 won't be exception | Adams

    Tennessee football seasons ending in "5" have historically been significant, often marking turning points for the program. From 1965 to 2015, these seasons included program turnarounds under Doug Dickey (1965) and Daryl Dickey (1985), as well as the start of the Peyton Manning era (1995). Down years in seasons ending in "5" include the beginning of the end for coaches Bill Battle (1975), Phillip Fulmer (2005), and Butch Jones (2015).
