Tennessee's AP Poll Outlook | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s preseason AP Poll fate is heating up as fans debate whether the Vols will crack the top 20—or land somewhere in the teens. With roster shifts, a new defensive staff, and key injuries to Harmon and Farooq, uncertainty looms. After a wild ride—playoff glory followed by an 8-5 dud—they’re aiming for redemption. My call? A solid 23rd spot, balancing hope with realism. Win early against Furman and Georgia Tech, and they’ve got a shot to climb. The SEC’s stacked, but with Heupel’s coaching and transfer portal magic, this could be the start of something special. Watch for the official ranking at noon ET.
