4. Tennessee Volunteers
Last Week: 2
This week's results: 73-43 loss @ Florida, 74-70 win @ Texas
Tennessee finally came back down to earth this past week as they suffered their first loss of the season to Florida. While losing to Florida typically is not a bad loss this season, losing to them by 30 definitely is.
The Vols did recover later in the week as they beat Texas on the road, but a four point win against the Longhorns isn't anything to write home about either.
However, even though Tennessee had their worst week of the season so far, they are still one of the top teams in the SEC and in the country. They also will have every chance to prove that during the tough conference schedule that is the SEC, and that begins this week with two big games.
On Wednesday, Tennessee will host a Georgia team that is likely to be ranked in the updated AP Poll. The Bulldogs are coming off two ranked wins this past week agaisnt Kentucky and Oklahoma, so they will not be the easy win that they normally are. After that, Tennessee gets an easier road game against in-state foe Vanderbilt that they will be expected to win easily.
