KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – The Vols won’t hit the playing field for another 13 days but that hasn’t stopped Tennessee from moving up the ranks in the latest edition of the AP and Coaches Top 25 polls.
After debuting at No. 25 in the preseason AP Poll, and just outside the Amway Coaches Poll Top 25 the Vols now rank 15th and 17th respectively in the newest polls.
The preseason polls, unlike the week two polls, did include the entirety of the college football landscape including the likes of the Big10 and Pac 12, which currently are not planning to play football this fall. The latest polls only include the teams that are playing this fall.
Tennessee, along with the rest of the SEC, is set to begin their season Saturday, September 26th. The Vols will travel to South Carolina to face the Gamecocks.
