The Tennessee Volunteers football team is closer to being back in the rankings in the All for Tennessee official Week 13 Top 25 Poll. See the poll here.
They make not be getting the respect they deserve in national polls, but a Tennessee Vols based blog is definitely going to acknowledge what Butch Jones’s squad has been doing.
And finally, the Vols are close to getting back where they were at the start of the year.
Tennessee received some recognition in this week’s All for Tennessee official Top 25 rankings. With one week left in the regular season before the conference championship and then the Army-Navy game, there are three weeks of football that could change all of this.
The week 13 Top 25 includes 11 teams that could still have a very real chance at making the College Football Playoff, which is crazy to think about.
It also is starting to include larger numbers of three-loss teams, meaning four-loss teams are just knocking at the door.
Tennessee is that first four-loss team that will likely get in if it keeps this up with just two games left in the season: Vanderbilt and the bowl game.

There was no unanimous No. 1 in this Top 25, nor was there an agreement on which teams should be in the Top Four. And while one staff member put the Vols in the Top 25, it was not enough to get them there overall.
Again, that will take a few more breaks going their way, but Rivalry weekend is a great chance for that to come to fruition.

Next: Why No Respect for Vols in Week 13 Top 25 Rankings?
With us, the Vols are just behind two teams to get into the Top 25. And some of them are bound to go down this week, so expect their stock to rise even more. But what is abundantly clears is that the Clemson Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Iowa Hawkeyes round out the top three.
