This will be the best game of the first round in my opinion. 2 elite defenses. It will come down to turnovers and, unfortunately for OSU, special teams. The team with the ball last wins. Weather will be a non-factor.

When Ohio State wins, how fast will Tennessee fans be in here bitching about having to go on the road to Columbus while Arizona State and Boise sit at home?

I don't hate Tennessee, just some of their fans I've been exposed to here are loathsome cretins.

I hope they dog walk OSU so Bucknuts etal can always come over to our forum knowing "if you ain't first. you're last!"

So after facing the highest rated talent composite team with Chip Kelly as OC in the first round, we get to draw Boise or Arizona State in the next round, right? Oh that's right, we get 13-0 Oregon. What a fantastic draw.


The same system that fricked us, fricked you. As #7, you should be hosting #10 in Neyland. Instead, you're going to a hostile environment to play a powerhouse, while #9 and #12 sit at home.

I think OSU should be coming to Knoxville, not the other way around.

Sad but unfortunately true. There’s no denying that Tennessee got the toughest section of the bracket, but you’re not going to win a NC without playing at least one or two quality teams along the way.

As a VOLS fan, I disagree. Ohio State may have had a weaker schedule, but they have two wins over playoff teams while Tennessee’s best is against a bubble team.

I do think Tennessee should have the home field over Penn State or even Texas (based on wins vs ranked and above .500 teams), but at the end of the day, don’t lose to Arkansas and you host. Only ourselves to blame.

Ohio State hasn’t had a good special teams since urban freakin Meyer. Their kicking game sucks. If their running backs can get going they can win the game. But their QB is not great.

Only a few teams I hate more than Tennessee and one of them is Ohio St. So, I guess go Volunteers.

Awe little bitty bitterson.

When we beat OSU, and then travel to Nico's home for the Rose Bowl, then go to Miami for the rEaL Orange bowl, then go to Hotlanta to play for it all...

The speed will be zero miles an hour, that's how fast.

Speaking of sitting at home. I hope you are comfortable on your couch watching the playoffs. Also, congrats on being the highest ranked team to play in the Outback/ReliaQuest Bowl since 2013 USCe. That is an amazing feat. I would add that Busch Gardens can be really nice this time of year, so enjoy it.

Easily the most-watched and highest-ratings as well.

So this. Turnovers will be huge. I think turnovers and the ability to sustain long drives will be the key to the game.

Snow could be cool! It could happen!!

Congrats on the first postseason appearance for your team in 17 years. When you get bounced by Ohio State hold your head high, as Vols fans yall don't get to do this often.
