KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee football has jumped from No. 19 to No. 17 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll on Sunday. 

The Vols are coming off their fifth win of the season against Texas A&M, but the 20-13 victory lacked in some areas offensively.

Tennessee now sits in between Duke at No. 16 and USC at No. 18. The only other two SEC teams ranked below the Vols are LSU and Missouri.

After a close 24-21 win against Arkansas, Alabama still remains at No. 11. Meanwhile, Georgia still holds that No. 1 spot after its win against Vanderbilt on Saturday. 

On Saturday, the Vols will hit the road for the first time in four weeks to compete in a huge SEC matchup against Alabama. Last season, the Vols took home the win against the Crimson Tide for the first time since 2006. 

The game starts at 3:30 p.m. in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
