College football rankings: Where will Tennessee be ranked to start the 2025 season?
The Tennessee Volunteers should be in the mix to make the College Football Playoff once again.
As we truly venture into the heart of the college football offseason, this is when the underlying questions you may have about a certain coach, player or program start to bubble to the surface. With the College Football Playoff being anything and everything in this sport now, are you in or are you out? The Tennessee Volunteers were one of the teams in last season, but will they be making it back?
Now that I have begun to put last year firmly behind me, I am starting to wonder if Tennessee really is a lock to make it back. The Vols took advantage of a softer SEC schedule. Keep in mind that they will play the same eight teams next year, only the venues are flipped. Home is road and road is home and so on. Nico Iamaleava returns at quarterback, but he often did not look the part as the Vols’ starter.
So what I want to do today is try to forecast where I think Tennessee will start next season ranked inside the initial AP Top 25 Poll. Remember that the AP Poll is our guiding light until the College Football Playoff Selection Committee meets for the first time shortly after Halloween. Tennessee is undoubtedly going to start next year ranked, absolutely inside the top 15, but how high will they be?
I may be bullish on Tennessee next season, but I remain quite confident that they will be in the top 10.
Where will Tennessee Volunteers start next football season ranked?
For the record, I have Tennessee in the College Football Playoff as the third of four SEC teams to make the field. I have the Volunteers behind Texas and Georgia, in that order, but ahead of South Carolina, who I have as the No. 10 seed. I think that helps paint a beautiful picture of Tennessee likely starting the season ranked firmly inside of the top 10. Frankly, I might have them as high as No. 7…
