**Tennessee Football Climbs Rankings After Dominant Win Over Mississippi State**

Tennessee football has made notable strides in the national rankings following a decisive 33-14 victory over Mississippi State in Week 11. This win propelled the Volunteers up two places in the US LBM Coaches Poll, where they now hold the No. 4 spot, and one place in the AP Top 25, landing them at No. 6.

The Volunteers were previously ranked No. 7 in the initial College Football Playoff (CFP) poll released last week. Given their recent performance, fans and analysts alike anticipate a rise in the updated CFP rankings, which are scheduled to be announced on Tuesday evening.

The reshuffling in the polls comes as a result of top team defeats, with Georgia falling to Ole Miss and Miami suffering a loss to Georgia Tech. This has opened up opportunities for Tennessee to ascend in the standings.

Currently boasting an 8-1 overall record and a 5-1 mark in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), Tennessee gears up for an important matchup against Georgia, who holds a 7-2 overall record and 5-2 in the SEC. This crucial game is set for Saturday evening at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia.

As the Volunteers continue their strong season, the upcoming clash with Georgia will be a significant test of their championship aspirations and their positioning within the college football landscape.
