Fair chance the team’s also still going to finish in the top 10 in the AP and Coaches Polls (they were 6th and 7th going into today’s game, against a team ranked 7th and 6th, respectively).
This would mean Tennessee would finish in the Top 10 two of the last three seasons (first time doing that again since the 1999-2001 season period).
Also will the last time Tennessee finished ranked in the polls for three straight seasons (which they will be) was either 1999-2001 or 1997-1999, depending on the poll).
