You couldn’t write up a more painful script for Tennessee last week. The Volunteers took two losses — both coming on dramatic buzzer-beaters against Vanderbilt and Missouri. Tennessee has now dropped three of their last four games, and they paid a price on Monday afternoon when the latest AP Poll was revealed.
Tennessee slid to No. 10, which all things considered, we’ll probably take. It was only a four-spot drop for the Volunteers, thanks to a handful of upsets over the weekend.
Alabama, took advantage of one of those upsets, moving up to No. 1 after Purdue fell to Northwestern. So it’ll be No. 10 Tennessee hosting No. 1 Alabama on Wednesday night in Knoxville.
Alabama, Houston, Purdue, UCLA and Kansas are your new top five.
Missouri almost re-entered the top 25 after their road win in Knoxville, but fell just a handful of votes short.
