Tennessee is going to remain in the top 10 despite the loss at Georgia and there’s a decent chance the Vols are still a top-six team when the new rankings come out.

Hendon Hooker came back down to earth against the Bulldogs, passing for just under 200 yards and no touchdowns with a pick and the Tennessee offense looked human for the first time this season.

The nation’s new No. 1 team just didn’t have the juice to keep up with Stetson Bennett and the Bulldogs and fell behind 24-6 at halftime. They were only able to muster one touchdown all game long and that goes to show just how good this Georgia defense really is.

How far will Tennessee drop after losing by two touchdowns against the No. 3 team on the road and never really looking like it’s in the game? I’m going with somewhere between 4-6.
