Tennessee football stayed put for a third straight week in the US LBM Coaches Poll after a 41-34 overtime win over Mississippi State in Week 5 of the 2025 season.
The Vols remain at No. 15 in the coaches poll. LSU, Georgia and Penn State suffered their first loss, and each to highly ranked opponents. But they were previously top 10 teams, so they didn’t fall behind Tennessee. The updated AP Top 25 will be released later in the afternoon on Sept. 28.
