Rankings from AP Poll

The 2009 Tennessee Volunteers football team (variously "Tennessee" or "UT" or the "Vols") will represent the University of Tennessee in the college football season of 2009. The team will be coached by first-year head football coach Lane Kiffin. The Vols play their home games in Neyland Stadium and compete in the Eastern Division of the SEC. This 2009 campaign comes on the heels of a disappointing 5–7 2008 season.

Controversy

On November 12, three freshman Vols players - safety Janzen Jackson, receiver Nu'Keese Richardson, and defensive back Mike Edwards - were arrested in Knoxville on charges of attempted armed robbery.[1] Edwards and Richardson were permanently dismissed from the team on November 16. Jackson has been reinstated after the charges were dropped and returned to the team for the November 28th game against Kentucky.
