The Tennessee Volunteers have climbed to No. 16 in both major college football polls following their bye week, according to the latest rankings released Sunday.
The Volunteers, coached by Josh Heupel, were idle this past weekend after facing the Alabama Crimson Tide at Neyland Stadium on October 17. Despite the layoff, Tennessee moved up in both the Associated Press Top 25 and the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Heupel's program continues to build momentum in the 2026 season, with the Volunteers now firmly positioned in the national rankings as they prepare for their next Southeastern Conference matchup.
