Looking at the bracket, Tennessee has a very favorable path. There are a few names that fans will recognize, such as Kentucky who got the best of the Volunteers in both games this season. However, this Tennessee team as of late would be the favorites entering that game. Georgia is an unlikely team that they will face however, that's another familiar face that the Vols have faced as they defeated the Bulldogs in Athens. Tennessee has also played Texas and defeated them twice, along with playing Illinois, who gave the Vols a great match that ended in a Jordan Gainey buzzer beater.
