The Vols still remain winless in the SEC as LSU defeats them 30-10. Wochit
They won't be going to Jacksonville for the Taxslayer Bowl or staying home for the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl. They won't venture to Memphis for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl or travel to Charlotte for the Belk Bowl. They can forget holiday trips to Birmingham or Shreveport for bowl games, too.
After Saturday losses left Tennessee and Vanderbilt with identical 4-7 records, it's a given that neither football program will advance to any of the NCAA-sanctioned postseason bowl games.
And statistically and historically, that's quite incredible.
Adans: Vols don't need Butch Jones to lose, but at least Brady Hoke takes chances
The mighty SEC has agreements with nine different bowls games. Our state's two SEC teams won't occupy any of them.

There are 37 bowl games (plus the championship game). That's 74 postseason invites. None for the Commodores, who opened the season 3-0; none for the Vols who were trendy preseason Top 25 and SEC East contender picks.
The Season of Collapse continued for both on Saturday.

More: Missouri 45, Vanderbilt football 17: 5 things we learned about Commodores' 7th SEC loss
LSU took advantage of two early Tennessee turnovers en route to a 30-10 win at Knoxville; Missouri scored 28 second-quarter points en route to a 45-17 pounding of Vanderbilt in Nashville.
It's the first time since 2005 that neither the Vols or the Commodores will play in a bowl game.

And that, too, is in an incredible streak.
But it wasn't that long ago that we all thought that bowl streak would continue. Remember when Tennessee began the season as one of the favorites to contend for the SEC East title? Remember when Vanderbilt started the season on a 3-0 roll?
For the first time the Commodores and Vols will both enter their final regular-season games with 0-7 SEC records. Forty years ago, when the teams played one fewer SEC game, both teams entered the final week at 0-6. The Vols won the original Rocky Bottom Bowl 42-7.
Is it too late to petition the NCAA to re-label next weekend's season finale in Knoxville as the Rocky Bottom Bowl?
