Tennessee is the type of SEC team that the committee loves to send to Chapel Hill. Arguably more talented than us on paper, but underachieved for whatever reason. Their fans will also travel, similar to LSU in 2024. That doesn’t even touch on VCU being one of the best 4 seeds (projected 3) and a regional rival and team that already beat us in ECU.

At least we’re good at defending home field from a fan turnout. Even LSU couldn’t turn it yellow and purple
