National Title

Heading into the matchup with the Tide, the Vols were given +2000 odds to win the National Championship which was tied for the eighth best in the country.

Now, Tennessee is +1500. This is good for seventh best in college football. It is the third best mark behind just Georgia and Texas.

The Vols trail the Bulldogs, Ohio State, Oregon, the Longhorns, Penn State and Clemson. They are just ahead of Miami and Alabama before a significant drop-off in the odds.

SEC Title

To win the SEC crown, Tennessee is at +950. This is the fifth-best in the conference.

The Vols trail Georgia and Texas in this category, as well, along with LSU and Texas A&M.

This is a significant jump from the +2000 odds Tennessee had a week ago that placed it in sixth.

Here are the current conference standings.

Heisman Odds

Nico Iamaleava put together an impressive second half against the Tide but is still dropping in the Heisman odds. He is now at +15000 which is tied for 22nd in the country.

However, for the first time, Dylan Sampson has landed on the list of Heisman odds listed by FanDuel. The Tennessee back is at +8000 which is tied for 14th-best in the country.

Sampson's odds are tied for the third-best of non-quarterbacks.
