Tennessee football doesn't have national championship expectations, but for the first time in two decades, data supports a potential national championship run for the Vols.
While the Vols have a lot to figure out, including who their starting quarterback will be, they have enough elite players to win a national title.
This is based on the blue-chip ratio, which calculates the number of four-star and five-star players, also known as blue-chip players, on a roster. Once the team has a certain percentage of blue-chip players on the roster, they could realistically win a national championship, although it's rarely guaranteed.
