A college football analyst has named the Tennessee Volunteers the biggest sleeper in the SEC.
When you look around the college football landscape, the SEC is loaded with teams that will be fighting for a spot in the expanded college football playoff this year. Georgia and Texas continue to be the favorites amongst the rest of the group but Ole Miss, Missouri and Alabama will also be in the mix. But according to one college football analyst theLate Kick host Josh Pate listed out his biggest sleepers for every power four conference and Tennessee was the team he chose for the SEC.
"Tennessee is a big-time sleeper team in the SEC. They've got the sixth-best odds to win the conference. Nico Iamaleava is going to be a star. I love the moves they've made in the wide receiver room. Their talent is underrated. So is their defensive coaching staff. They get Florida and Alabama at home. They go to Georgia late in the year.
The Volunteers will travel to Oklahoma and then host Alabama near the middle of the year before they have to travel to Athens to face the Bulldogs. Picking up wins against both the Sooners and the Crimson Tide would be a huge resume boost for the Volunteers that would likely put them in a favorable position to be a playoff team.in his first year as the starter and with some key pieces returning in a Josh Heupel offense could be a recipe for success this season.
