The last time these two teams met was on New Year's Day in 1996 at the Florida Citrus Bowl. That game featured some all-time greats, with Tennessee's Peyton Manning leading the Vols to a 20-14 victory over an Ohio State squad powered by Heisman Trophy-winner Eddie George.
Fast forward to 2024, and both teams are bringing serious firepower—and a little bit of history—back to the gridiron.
The Volunteers come into this matchup with one of the most explosive offenses in the country, ranking in the Top 10 nationally in total yards (463.5), rushing yards (232.5), and points per game (37.3).
The Buckeyes' season ended with a surprising 13-10 loss to Michigan, but don't let that fool you—this is still a team built to contend for a national title.
Ohio State's defense is nothing short of elite, No. 1 in the nation in total yards allowed (241.1), No. 2 in passing yards allowed (144.3), and just 10.9 points allowed per game, the best in the country.
This one will live up to the hype so make sure you get your popcorn ready and tune in for the last CFP game of the slate.
