The Tennessee Volunteers are the No. 1 basketball team in the land once again. The AP voters placed Tennessee on top of their latest top 25 rankings, which were revealed on Monday.
Tennessee capitalized on losses by Auburn and Kansas to move up to the No. 1 spot. The Volunteers last were ranked No. back in 2019 with Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield. This year’s team began the season ranked 12th in the preseason polls, but a hot start has pushed them up quickly. Tennessee holds wins over Louisville, Syracuse, Baylor and Virginia to open the season.
