After another undefeated week of play, the Lady Vols have risen to their highest mark yet in the AP Poll under Kim Caldwell.

Tennessee comes in at No. 11 heading into the final week of regular season play.

This is the Lady Vols' highest ranking yet and a four-spot jump from No. 15 the prior week.

Tennessee has been ranked since debuting in this season's polls on Dec. 9, 2024, at No. 19. The Lady Vols haven't dropped any further than that spot since entering.

However, Tennessee was not ranked to begin the season in Caldwell's first year leading the program.

Now, the Lady Vols are the fourth-highest-ranked SEC team in the poll behind No.1 Texas, No. 6 South Carolina and No. 7 LSU.

The jump catapulted them over Ohio State, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Kentucky and Duke.

The recent movement comes after another strong week for Tennessee. First, it downed No. 18 Alabama at home.

The 88-80 win came behind a strong effort from Jewel Spear. She notched 20 points in the win.

Then, the Lady Vols went down to Florida to win their next game. The 86-78 win came behind an 18-point night from Talaysia Cooper.

Next, Tennessee will travel to No. 15 Kentucky on Thursday before rounding out the regular season at home against Georgia.

Currently, the Lady Vols are in the picture to host in the NCAA Tournament as a 4-see3d or better. Tennessee came in as the No. 16 overall seed, the final 4-seed, in the selection committee's bracket reveal a week ago.
