What’s the ceiling and floor for Tennessee football in 2023? ESPN took that question on in their newly released power rankings this week. The Volunteers are coming off of an 11 win season in 2022, but they must replace key players like Hendon Hooker and Jalin Hyatt this fall. Joe Milton and company appear ready, but can they match the production — and wins — from a year ago?
I think we can all agree that the ceiling for this group is an appearance in the College Football Playoff. Tennessee was a win over South Carolina away from an appearance last year, and this roster appears to be much deeper than last season’s.
