Tennessee is currently at the top of the SEC with one conference loss, and if they don’t lose another SEC game this regular season, they will be playing in Atlanta for the conference title.
The Volunteers must win a game in the Peach State against Georgia this weekend if they don’t want to go up against the crazy SEC tiebreakers to make the conference title.
The Bulldogs are coming off a tough loss to Ole Miss, and if they lose one more game this year, they will not be going to the college football playoffs, so they will be bringing their best.
One of the main reasons why Tennessee has taken their team to the next level this year is because of quarterback Nico Iamaleava. Still, he suffered an injury last week against Mississippi State that could keep him out this upcoming Saturday.
Tennessee Could Be Missing Their Star Player This Weekend
Chris “The Bear” Fallica was on UGAsports.com and stated that he had heard Nico Iamaleava had a concussion. People he spoke to don’t believe he is going to play.

Iamaleava’s absence would be a major blow to the Volunteers. They could still make the college football playoffs with two losses even if they lose the game. The only issue is that they play Vanderbilt in the last week of the season, who has played spoiler a few times this year.
