The Tennessee Vols haven't been ranked outside of the top 15 since Week 2 of the 2022 season (before UT's win against Pittsburgh).
But that will almost certainly change on Sunday afternoon when the new AP Top 25 poll is released.
In fact, that's what On3 is expecting after Tennessee's 29-16 loss to Florida.
On3 predicted on Sunday morning that Tennessee will be ranked No. 23 in the new AP Top 25 poll.
From On3: The Vols’ voodoo in the Swamp proved real again, as a more talented Tennessee team went to Florida and lost again — their 10th straight road L in the series. Tennessee was completely out of sync offensively, losing 29-16 with just two touchdowns. The Vols were never able to get their tempo going, committing all sorts of unforced errors via penalties. Quarterback Joe Milton didn’t look right until the fourth quarter and the Vols were gashed on the ground. Gators sophomore Trevor Etienne rushed for a career-high 172 yards — including a 62-yard touchdown run where he bounced off two UT defenders and outran the rest of the defense for a score.
Tennessee’s tackling was terrible and it committed 10 penalties (many of which were false starts due to Florida’s crowd), both of which contributed to a bad loss to start SEC play.
The Vols will get a chance to climb their way back into the top 15 starting with a home game against UTSA on Saturday afternoon in Knoxville.
