Projected seed: 5

Tennessee’s profile pairs a signature neutral-site win over Houston with meaningful road victories at Alabama and Georgia and a tough road result at Vanderbilt, proving it can win away from home, but those positives are offset by damaging setbacks at Florida and neutral losses to Kansas and Illinois along with narrow defeats at Syracuse and Missouri and uncharacteristic home losses to Kentucky and Alabama; the mix of high-end scalps and ugly losses leaves the Vols squarely in the conversation for the field while still vulnerable, so a strong finish against Vanderbilt represents a clear chance to solidify their standing and separate themselves from the crowded middle of the league.
