Vols Media Bracket: Final Four

ByZach Ragan

We’re down to only four remaining media members in our second annual “Vols Media Bracket”.

The Elite Eight saw some fierce battles, particularly between 247Sports’ Wes Rucker and Rocky Top Insider’s Daniel Lewis.

Rucker led with only ten minutes remaining to vote on Friday evening, but Lewis staged a furious comeback that resulted in him advancing by a single vote.

Mark Nagi and Brad Shepard, both lower seeded media members, have proved to be the heavyweights of the bracket.
