The Tennessee Vols entered Saturday’s matchup against the Arkansas Razorbacks ranked No. 4 in the AP Top 25 poll.
But after a tough 19-14 loss to the Razorbacks, the Vols will drop a few spots in the new AP Top 25 poll when it’s released on Sunday afternoon.
On3 predicted on Sunday morning that Tennessee will fall all the way to No. 8 when the new poll is released, just ahead of Ole Miss at No. 9 and LSU at No. 10.
From On3 : The “feels like ’98” vibes were quieted with a dispiriting 19-14 loss at Arkansas. Tennessee’s Top 5 defense did its job until the final drive when it allowed backup quarterback Malachi Singleton to drive 60 yards for the game-winning score. Nico Iamaleava and the Vols’ offense couldn’t do much of anything against the Hogs, totaling just 332 yards with seven punts. Tennessee had a chance to escape with a win, but facing 4th-and-5 with around 17 seconds remaining, Iamaleava (who was just 17 of 29 for 158 yards) ran out of bounds as time expired rather than make a play for a first down or in the end zone.
