According to the rankings, the Tennessee Volunteers are projected to finish ninth in the SEC this season behind notable teams such as Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and others. The projection also suggests that the members of the media do not expect the Vols to return to this year's College Football Playoff.

Though there are no new schools, or even new coaches, entering the league in 2025, there's still plenty to look forward to. Few names will demand as much attention as Texas quarterback Arch Manning, who will travel with coach Steve Sarkisian to represent the Longhorns in Atlanta.

Media Days have officially wrapped up in Atlanta. Now's a good time to rank all 16 teams with the season drawing closer.

Following SEC media days, media members voted on the order of finish for league teams in 2025. Tennessee is predicted to finish in ninth place. Texas is projected to win the SEC and Georgia is second. Follow Vols Wire on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).
