National media outlet claims Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel is under new expectations under the expanded college football playoff format.
College football will be introducing a major change this season as the 12-team playoff format will be at play for the first time. It's a major step up from the original four-team format and it will require some adjusting this year. The expanded playoff is great in the sense that more teams will have the opportunity to make the playoffs, but for some head coaches, it might actually add some extra pressure to their job.
In the four-team playoff format, it almost felt a bit over a stretch to say a team had to make the playoffs that season. Just last season Georgia went undefeated in the regular season and lost one game and Florida State went 13-0 and neither one of those teams made the playoffs last year.
"Tennessee is the only program on this list without multiple New Year's Six appearances, but the 2022 Orange Bowl win against Clemson did come under Heupel's guidance. That season represented a true breakthrough moment that changed expectations for the Volunteers.
