The Tennessee Volunteers college football team competes as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), representing the University of Tennessee in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Since the establishment of the team in 1891, Tennessee has appeared in 51 bowl games.[1] Included in these games are 17 combined appearances in the traditional "big four" bowl games (the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, and Orange) and 2 Bowl Championship Series (BCS) game appearances.[2][3]

Through the history of the program, 8 separate coaches have led the Volunteers to bowl games with Phillip Fulmer having the most appearances with 15. Fulmer also led Tennessee to the Bowl Alliance national championship game in the 1998 Orange Bowl and the first BCS national championship game in the 1999 Fiesta Bowl. In January 2010, Derek Dooley was hired as head coach, and led the Volunteers to an appearance in the 2010 Music City Bowl.[4] A loss in that game brought Tennessee's overall bowl record to 25 wins and 24 losses, placing the Volunteers 3rd among all FBS schools for bowl appearances.[1] The Volunteers improved their overall bowl record to 26-24 with a convincing win over Iowa in the 2015 TaxSlayer Bowl, and 27-24 with a win over Northwestern in the 2016 Outback Bowl.
