No. 9 Tennessee at No. 8 LSU
The SEC went through some changes over the weekend as Tennessee got back in the playoff picture and these predictions have them as the No. 9 seed. The Volunteers would play conference foe LSU on the road.

The Tigers have won six in a row since losing to USC during the first game of the year. Funny enough, these two teams actually don’t play each other this season but could meet in a first round game.
