Tennessee Volunteers
SEC program. Made the playoff in the recent past. Hired Jim Knowles as DC — a major splash on Ty's "under-discussed SEC story" list. Cole's read: was "arguably at the bottom of the league" four or five years ago, fans need to remember where the program has been. The 2026-07-27 fall-camp update puts the offense back through the quarterback-development lens, with Faizon Brandon apparently ahead of George MacIntyre.
