Who is Tennessee’s biggest rival?

The Tennessee Volunteers have a few legitimate options when it comes to football rivalries. A rich and storied history in the SEC have crafted several regional rivalries over the last century, even though they may have lost some shine over the last decade.

The Alabama-Tennessee and Florida-Tennessee games don’t currently hold as much weight nationally as they once did, but the way Jeremy Pruitt is recruiting, they hopefully will be back in the spotlight soon.

A couple of weeks back, you were asked to vote for Tennessee’s biggest rival — both on the football field and the basketball court. By way of a 60-40 split with Florida, the Alabama Crimson Tide won out on the football side.

Alabama currently leads the all-time series with an official 56-38-7 record against the Volunteers.

The basketball side of things was much easier. The Kentucky Wildcats took 100 percent of the vote, as they should. Tennessee has been much more competitive against Kentucky recently, though the Wildcats still hold a 156-74 advantage in the series. The Volunteers are 5-3 against Kentucky since 2018.
