Tennessee at number 9
With Hendon Hooker returning at quarterback and a signing class that second-year coach Josh Heupel expects will be impactful, Tennessee should have a preseason win total exceeding the 2021 campaign and continues strides in the right direction next season. The Volunteers have been ranked as high as No. 17 in preseason polls we've seen, but not inside the top 10 like the SP+ suggests. Like other SEC teams out to prove themselves, Tennessee will endure an arduous slate that includes games against Georgia and Alabama.
