The Tennessee Volunteers are set to be ranked twice this afternoon. They will be ranked in the coaches' poll, and of course, the main event will be the AP Poll. The AP Poll is what will matter the most.

The Tennessee Volunteers very well could move up in the AP poll, as they have been ranked as the 15th ranked program, but there were multiple teams ahead of them. The bet case scenario will likely be the 12th spot, but things could continue to get better for the Vols when they take on the Arkansas Razorbacks.

The Vols received some great news, as they are 12th in the coaches poll (which is three spots up from where they are. The two teams ahead of them and preventing them from getting to the top ten is Texas Tech and LSU.

Make sure to stay tuned for the AP Poll.
