#7 vs #8 — 2026 Preseason Power 25
Van Horn's program is a machine. The Hogs reload every year with elite talent and compete for SEC titles. This team has the arms to pitch deep into June.
Vitello has built Tennessee into a legitimate power. The Vols bring back a potent lineup and one of the SEC's best arms in Drew Beam.
Both squads are Contender tier. This one comes down to matchups and who peaks in June.
