A day of chaos in the SEC continued Saturday night as Oklahoma upset No. 7 Alabama and Auburn upset No. 15 Texas A&M in College Station.

After getting on the wrong side of the College Football Playoff bubble on Saturday, Tennessee now controls its own destiny to make the playoffs and even has an outside shot at hosting a playoff game.

Both seventh-ranked Alabama and ninth-ranked Ole Miss came into the rankings the day before Tennessee, but both lost as two-touchdown favorites on the road. Oklahoma stifled Alabama’s offense and forced three Jalen Milroe turnovers in a 24-3 victory over the Crimson Tide.

Ole Miss turned it around on two downs deep in Florida territory as the Gators upset Lane Kiffin’s squad 24-17. The Rebels fell to 8-3 (4-3 SEC) with the loss ahead of their regular season finale against rival Mississippi State.

Texas A&M was four spots behind Tennessee entering the day, but the Aggies had a path to Tennessee with a win over Texas to finish the regular season 10-2 (7-1 SEC). But Auburn defeated Texas A&M 43-41 in four overtimes to hand the Aggies their third loss of the season.

The Aggies can still advance to the College Football Playoffs with a win over Texas and then Georgia in the SEC Championship to earn the SEC’s automatic bid. However, that seems very unlikely at the moment.

Tennessee, which started the day 11th, will jump to at least ninth place in the latest playoff rankings because of Tuesday’s losses. The Vols could also jump No. 5 Indiana, which suffered a 38-15 loss at Ohio State in the first real test of the 2024 season.

But most importantly, Tennessee is now locked into a College Football Playoff spot if they take care of business and beat public enemy Vanderbilt next week in Nashville. The Commodores fell to LSU 24-17 on Saturday night and enter the final week of the regular season at 6-5 (3-4 SEC).

The Vols now also have an outside chance to host a first-round playoff game. The five to eight seeded teams will host the first round matches. The loser of the Big 10 Championship (Oregon or Ohio State), loser of the SEC Championship (Georgia, Texas or Texas A&M), Penn State and Notre Dame are currently the favorites to get those spots.

Tennessee would need USC to upset Notre Dame next week and move Indiana up the rankings to earn the No. 8 seed and host a first-round matchup.
