Tennessee moves to No. 24 in the rankings on Monday, meaning that the Vols will be in the Top 25 rankings for at least another week. The Vols dropped two spots after beating South Carolina at home and losing to Kentucky on the road.

After back-to-back Saturday SEC losses to LSU and Kentucky, Tennessee is entering soul-searching mode. While, yes, it is still early in the season, the Vols are at a critical crossroads. Tennessee has two Top 25 matchups in their next four games when they host No. 13 LSU and travel to No. 23 Texas. If Tennessee can’t put the offensive and defensive game plan together soon, the Vols could be looking at a major uphill battle in the month of February.
Tennessee will play Vanderbilt in Nashville on Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. ET.
