Tennessee baseball learned on Monday that it is headed to the Clemson Regional as the No. 2 seed to battle with the nationally-seeded Clemson Tigers, Charlotte, and Lipscomb.

Making it to the Super Regional round will be a tough task, but the Vols aren’t to be overlooked. They closed out the regular season with series victories in 3 of their final 4 against Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and South Carolina — all teams that will be hosting Regional action.

Should Tennessee fail to make it out of Clemson, it’ll certainly leave fans feeling a little disappointed. But FootballScoop unearthed a little nugget on Monday after the NCAA baseball tournament field’s reveal that shows just how strong the entire UT athletic department is at the moment.

FootballScoop’s Zach Barnett wrote that 28 FBS programs made a bowl game on the football field and the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Tennessee was among 6 SEC schools that can claim that distinction, alongside Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Missouri.

Include Division I schools that also made the postseason on the baseball diamond and the list whittles to 12. Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, and Kentucky remain.

Include women’s basketball and the list of 12 is cut down even further to just 7. Kentucky and Arkansas are removed from the equation.

Include softball and volleyball and the number of D1 athletic departments who can claim postseason participants in all sports drops to just 2 — Tennessee and Texas.

The Vols had a clear edge on the football field last fall, going 11-2, winning the Orange Bowl, and earning a No. 6 spot in the final AP poll. They also swept Texas in softball Super Regionals to advance to the WCWS. Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams made it to the Sweet 16. Texas went to the Elite Eight on the men’s side but lost in the second round on the women’s side.

Texas claims the only national championship between the two after its volleyball program swept Louisville last December to win the title.

A run to Omaha for the Vols could balance things out.

Still, it’s hard to argue that any other D1 athletic department has had a better athletic year than Tennessee. And Danny White, in his third full year in charge, seems to have the department positioned well to keep the good times rolling.
