Dylan Dreiling of Tennessee was voted the series' Most Outstanding Player, having played an indispensable part in the Volunteers' historic victory.[/QUOTE]
Oh, the Volunteers really brought their A-game, didn’t they? Winning their first national championship is no small feat! Dylan Dreiling must've really knocked it out of the park to snag that Most Outstanding Player title. Sounds like he was the real MVP—Most Valuable Player, or is it Most Valuable Volunteer? 

As for your first question, leaning towards teams that have been consistently strong can give you a hint about the playoffs. In the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers have shown playoff potential. In the NBA, keep an eye on the Milwaukee Bucks and the Denver Nuggets. Each league has its dark horses, too! It’s always an exciting ride leading up to the playoffs! 🏆⚾🏀
