Miles Kredich knows "Rocky Top" in his bones.

But four years ago, it hit him that lyrics could be bone-chilling and "Spooky Rocky Top" was born out of a family's love for Tennessee and music.

College Football Playoff selection chair Hunter Yurachek said Tennessee has three quality wins, but Alabama has four.

The two teams weren't in the same pool so their head-to-head wasn't a factor in this week's top 25.

Alabama is No. 3, #Vols are No. 8

Amaya Manuel is also a twin. Her twin sister, Cara, committed to Tennessee State on Tuesday night.

Four-star point guard Amaya Manuel committed to the Lady Vols on Tuesday night.

The St. Louis native is a top-50 prospect and the second four-star guard in the 2027 class for coach Kim Caldwell.

Dan is a great reporter and this thread is very good.

OK, the exercise between Tennessee and AthletesOrg is interesting. But this is wildly overstated. Let's add a little context...

[Mike Wilson @ByMikeWilson]

Tennessee baseball is set to land another top-10 recruiting class when the 2027 class signs.

It's another heralded group of prospects for the Vols and coach Josh Elander with seven top-100 prospects, including No. 1 overall prospect Dylan Seward.

No. 11 Tennessee beats Radford 70-47.

Defense looked better, offense looked sloppy.

#Vols home Friday night against Tennessee State, 7pm ET on SEC Network+

how it happened ➡️ https://t.co/bYMeD8Gg80

[Mike Wilson @ByMikeWilson]

Tennessee held Radford without a point for 8:32. It missed 12 field goals in that stretch.

The Vols lead 62-38 with 3:59 to play.

[Mike Wilson @ByMikeWilson]

Terrence Hill Jr. is finding his offense.

He's on an 8-0 run that started with a 3-pointer and ended with a 3-pointer. Welcome shots from the high-scoring point guard.

Vols up 31-21 on Radford.

[Mike Wilson @ByMikeWilson]

Troy Henderson and Miles Rubin are Tennessee's best players in the first half against Radford.

Vols are up 26-21 on a Monday night at Food City Center.
