The traditional day-after way too early top 25 polls are out, and somewhat surprisingly, they’re all still pretty high on Tennessee. Of course, we’ve got a ton of transfer portal action left to play out. But we do have cores of rosters set in place around the country.
Tennessee’s core of Zakai Zeigler, Jahmai Mashack and Jonas Aidoo should keep them in the hunt.
