ESPN preview has a very contrasting take on Tennessee offense and defense in 2025

Fall camp is upon us, and that means it’s time for preseason predictions and expectations to roll through the internet and grace us with the opinions of the pundits.

One expert from ESPN sees the Tennessee Volunteers as a threat to return to the College Football Playoff for the second straight year. College football writer/analyst Bill Connelly, he of the SP+ ratings, has the Vols in the upper echelon of the SEC and the last team in his tier of College Football Playoff and SEC title contenders.

That goes a little bit against where the media had the Vols tabbed in the preseason poll, which was 9th.
