Where Tennessee ranks in fourth College Football Playoff poll: See full list

Tennessee football moved up one spot to No. 19 in the fourth College Football Playoff poll of the 2025 season, released on Nov. 25, after a 31-11 win over Florida.

The CFP selection committee ranked the Top 25 teams for the 12-team playoff format. The rankings will be updated each Tuesday, and the final CFP field will be announced on Dec. 7.

There are five guaranteed spots (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC champions, plus highest-ranked non P4 conference champion). And then seven teams get at-large bids, based on their ranking in the CFP poll.

Tennessee (8-3, 4-3 SEC) plays Vanderbilt (9-2, 5-2) on Nov. 29 (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Neyland Stadium in the regular-season finale.

Tennessee is ranked No. 18 in the US LBM Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25, which were released on Nov. 23.
