Heather Dinich evaluates the chances of 3 SEC teams making the Playoff

The SEC is stout this year with several teams within it looking like they could have the ability to go the distance. Heather Dinich of ESPN recently weighed in on the status of 3 teams within the conference and where they could stand in the playoff race.

“No team in the country has a better opportunity to impress the selection committee than Tennessee,” Dinich said. “Because they play Alabama and Georgia in the regular season. What the Vols cannot do is go 0-2 against those opponents… they can beat Alabama and lose to Georgia and… not win the East but still have a win against the SEC champion.”

Dinich talked more about that and the potential for Alabama and Georgia as well in her breakdown of how things could play out in the postseason:

➖ No. 1 Georgia
➖ No. 3 Alabama
➖ No. 6 Tennessee

One of the most key matchups to deciding how this will play out is Alabama and Tennessee this weekend. Both teams are set to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday.
