Vols continue to fight for spot in final SEC Championship Game in Atlanta

The Tennessee Volunteers are still alive for a berth in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

If the Vols make it, it would be their sixth and final trip for a post-season title. We say final because the SEC agreed, along with the other three major college football conferences, to conclude their end-of-season championship game to adapt to a new College Football Playoff format featuring a 24-team tournament beginning next year.

That was announced as part of a 5-year, $1.7 billion deal between ESPN and the CFP with all teams starting their season in Week Zero–the weekend before Labor Day.
