The issue wasn’t how many times they threw or ran the ball it was the way they did it. OSU is best when they spread the field out and run RPO style run plays to the edge or when they have 4 options down field. Instead they played condensed and shrunk the field and tried to play bully ball against one of the best D lines in the country with a very injured O line. Chip Kelly actually confirmed this in an interview today that they didn’t do what they needed to do scheme wise and explained everything I just said ^
They also were throwing it mainly on second and third down while behind the chains in obvious passing situations. I love you ignore the drive OSU passed it every play before the half they went down the field like a defense wasn't on the field. Then, after that drive, Smith never got another target. OSU gonna have something special for Tenn ....
If Tennessee were to beat OSU and then Oregon on the road the big 10 would be humiliated. I don't see it but if Tennessee beats OSU it's going to get real interesting in the next round.
Naw. Yes… Tennessee will beat Ohio State. But then, traveling to the West Coast and the Rose Bowl to play an Oregon squad that’ll be healthy and rested - seriously bad scenario for the “visitor”.
That's exactly what im predicting to happen. Oregon needs to be rooting for ohio state this weekend cause I think Tennessee is an I even worst matchup for them then they are for ohio state. And they won't win because of schematics, They'll win because of physical dominants. It's just bigger faster football down south. The SEC is just better. I know people don't like that but its the truth.
Yeah I've heard similar stuff like this. We might not have that many Tennessee fans there but I can guarantee you we'll have more than the 3,500 tickets that Ohio St allotted for us. I honestly believe we'll have at least 15k to 20k there. At least I hope we have at least that many there. GO BIG ORANGE 🔶️ 🍊
“I have never seen another team take over OSU stadium” they said the same thing about LSU Tiger Stadium, but in 22 when the Vols came to town they took over the stadium by halftime. They sang Rocky Top the whole game. It’s on TH-cam
Tn will not have to overload the box, we'll get pressure with 5. Secondary will be overloaded jumping passes and causing Howard to look like an infant.
Irrelevant. The best player in the Game will be the determining factor. This playoff will be the Rise of the greatest to play college football. The VOLS have a great team, but give me best player in the game. To guide his team to the title. I already put 5k on him at +4000. Even with the WORST QB in the playoffs--- Mr Smith wins MVP and carries the team
Where did you get this information from? I would love it if we really do have that many fans there. But I just can't believe that that many Ohio St fans would sell their tickets. But I really hope you're right. GO BIG ORANGE 🔶️ 🍊
@@markdarsky8580 Wrong. Tennessee struggles in away games. For whatever reason, Heupel has a hard time preparing his teams for loud away games. Every game Tennessee has lost in the last 3 years other than Georgia at home has been because of Tennessee falling apart to loud crowd noise. As for the best player on the field, that will be Dylan Sampson. Unquestionably.
Big Tennessee fan here, I didn’t make a game all season, going to this game. 42% of sales on a ticket app came from the state of Tennessee compared too 22% in the state of Ohio. Tennessee might have 50% of the fans here.
42% of secondary market sales... After OSU season ticket holders bought theirs, after boosters and local organizations were allotted theirs. First ever playoff game in the 'shoe. First ever game in December in the 'shoe. The media is setting you up for a false reality. That said... have a great time. Dress warm. Be smart - there will be a lot of police presence, but still... be smart. It isn't always the safest environment. Should UT win, be smarter. Enjoy the trip and the game. Go to Thurmans or Schmidt's if you can.
A depleted OSU offensive line is not going to hold up very long against the Tennessee defensive front. I'm looking for a close game until midway thru the third quarter. Tennessee by at least ten points...
Probably so... but AFTER all OSU season ticket holders, boosters and local organizations were able to buy their tickets. The secondary market sales aren't 42% of the entire stadium...
I’m told that OSU only allotted 3,500 tickets for Tennessee fans, which is ridiculously low. That’s why Vols fans have been using alternative methods to get tickets that are supposed to be reserved for OSU fans
If this game was happening one week after Michigan, I think the hangover would be more prominent. Since it’s 3 weeks later , I think the mental impact will be less of a hangover for OSU.
@ far better? I don’t see that as a UT fan. If they are able protect the QB like GA did and get the ball out to that NFL WR roster, we could be in for a long frustrating day. At least their QB isn’t as good as Beck. It would be hilarious if the cold hurt their offense more than ours though.
Taking Ohio State to win this one. Night game, home game, and I feel like too much of the discussion regarding who wins revolves around the impression left from the last games of the regular season. The rest of the season, Ohio state by and large has looked like the better team than Tennessee. We had a close game to Nebraska and lost by 1 on the road to Oregon despite our best OLineman going down for the season during that game. Tennessee had 2 losses on the road to Arkansas and Georgia, and Kentucky and Florida were ridiculously close at HOME. This is another game for the Vols on the road. undoubtedly a good team and Nico is gonna be really scary in years to come but I have faith in my buckeyes
@ean_0 in what way do you think they had the same kind of season? Ohio state has had more comfortable wins even against similarly ranked competition like Penn State and Indiana. Tennessee's Alabama win was by 7, which again is the same as we had to Penn State. No game is decided on a blackboard but I think it's just crazy more people aren't favoring the buckeyes
@ean_0 I would call Ohio state's wins against Penn State and Indiana good wins. I would call Tennessee's win against Alabama a good win. Call them unimpressive if you want but they were all top 10 wins even if in any other year there would be another 5 teams ahead of them
Do you really believe that Ohio St played better competition week in and week out? What does it say about the BIG 10 as a whole that a team from the PAC12 won the BIG 10 championship in their first year in the BIG 10?? Yall play 2 maybe 3 good teams a year and beat up on average to bad teams for the rest of the season. In the SEC it's a damn fight and struggle each and every week during conference play. If you don't show up ready to play then even the teams in the bottom of the conference will beat you. And we play at the toughest and most intimidating atmospheres when we go on the road. Of course you are probably going to disagree with me but I know I'm right and that's all that really matters to me 😂😂. GO BIG ORANGE 🔶️ 🍊
The very limited publicly allotted tickets sold out in 10 minutes... anything out there now is secondary market. Proceed with caution, lol. There is zero concern of the shoe being orange aside from the 3,500 UT allotment and those that spent way, way above retail. Anything over about 10,000 UT fans in that stadium is a pipe-dream. Dress warm - it'll be in the low-ish teens on those aluminum seats before the wind chill, and much lower the higher up in C-deck you sit.
We probably won't be able to paint the Shoe orange and that's only because Ohio St fans won't sell us their tickets anymore 😂. But I think there will be more than the 10k you seem to believe. Maybe 15k

Why are y'all telling this lie? We barely care about this game. Tennessee fans are treating this like the super bowl. Ohio State fans are still talking about ttun.
I trolled so many OSU fans yesterday after the Chip Kelly conference. I’ll probably take a break today or tomorrow before getting back to it later in the week. I can do this for an entire year again because they lost 13-10 to Michigan, lol.
Last second FG? Maybe, but will need to be a 35 yarder or less. By game's end, the wind chill will be around 10* F and it will be like kicking a cinder block.
Am I the only person who thinks Tennessee wins if it’s not a snow game but loses if it is? (Solely because I think Tennessee orange might be the weirdest color ever for a team to wear during a snow game in the history of all football)
@stixxinator all I get when I Google it are results that vary depending on what site it is... but, Ohio State is ranked first in all of them. Maybe I'm just thinking of how loud and obnoxious Vols fans are. Lol.... and yes I know Clemson fans are also obnoxious. 🤣
OSU fans are saving their money for Pasadena and if Tennessee manages to win; they saved their money. Maybe the money saved goes to Ryan Day’s buyout fund.
Me too! I wish SEC teams and Big Ten teams had to play each other in the regular season. It would really speak volumes for the reality of college football.
Does everyone forget that Ohio State beat 2 top 5 teams just a couple weeks before the xichigan game? Or that they only lost by 1 point to the #1 team on the road.
That’s a ranking system, bro. That has nothing to do with the reality that the SEC teams are bigger faster and stronger. Good luck👍🏼 you’re gonna need it.
41 points? Against the #1 scoring defense in the nation? At home, in a game with likely single-digit wind chills in the 4th quarter? From a UT O that averaged 25 ppg against 8 SEC foes with a combined conference record of 24-40? SEC foes with a combined conference record of 15-33 in the six UT wins? Mmmkay... Maybe, I guess. Best of luck to the Vols
Just heard names of some of the officiating crew,Tennessee has an uphill battle.Not only playing opponent on their home field,but will have to deal with poor officiating.
I really wish they wernt coming off that loss as a tn fan it's gona be hard for us to win this we gotta take the air out of the stadium early and keep it out to win
Ohio state’s offense played poorly against Michigan. The defense gave up 6 points. People act like they got smashed by a trash team. I can’t wait to see the reaction from all the same people after Saturday.
Defense really gave up 3... the other 10 came from a combined 5 yards on two drives because of a QB that should've been on a stretcher getting an MRI. But a loss is a loss and that stinker is history.
@ I understand that but of course you know the haters🤷🏻♂️. I love how they think Tennessee is coming to take over the shoe with its fans and stomp out some soft over rated team 😂 Enjoy the game Saturday 🤘🏼
A lot of UT chatter. Definitely deserving of the playoff. Maybe they're great? I don't know. 8 SEC games: avg score 25-19. SEC foe's conf. record: 24-40 (.375). SEC foe's conf. record in their 6 SEC wins: 15-33 (.313) including 5-3 Alabama. Against 4 non-conf. foes: 595 ypg offense. Vs SEC foes: 392 ypg on offense? IDK... I'm not betting any money on this one, but barring a last-second snowstorm, I don't see UT offense doing enough to win this game. Feels like an under kind of game to me, especially if it gets windy and hinders passing for both teams.
Well if what I've been hearing is really true then you're going to see a very large amount of ORANGE 🍊 in the Shoe. We might not "take over the Shoe" but there will be a large % of Tennessee fans there. We're one of the best fan bases in the country when it comes to traveling to cheer on our VOLS. GO BIG ORANGE 🔶️ 🍊!!!!
Its all about momentum. TN has it. If Nico stays hot, we will make it to the championship. Cuz if he stays hot, we can win in every facet of the game. We already have the D and running game. 31-20 Vols.
@ that’s cap you can’t even prove that !! Tennesee make more money off they football team with less seats in they stadium make it make sense!! Yall love talking off “history” or some bogus yt lie knowing damn well the vols fan base is at peak rn
@@ctbspiffy423 everything is out there if care to search. Just look at the state population, and the school populations. 11.8 mill for Ohio and 7.1 mill for Tennessee. Schools are 66k for Ohio State and 28k for Tennessee. To be fair though, Tennessee is listed in the top ten everywhere I looked. It's not even close to Ohio State though. No SEC school is. They just don't have the size. Even Texas and Florida are smaller schools. Those two do have larger populations. They have to share fans with other teams though. Research is your friend.
@ctbspiffy423 do your research, geez! Ohio State is the #1 revenue producing program in the country. There are levels to this thing. The Internet is your friend. Look this stuff up for yourself.
OSU clearly has the better team and its not close. OSU has the better player at 16 out 22 positions on the field. UT has an awful receiving core against a top 3 OSU secondary. OSU is going to stop the run like they did all year and force a shakey QB to force the ball into tight windows.
Ohio St will intercept 2-3 balks on Saturday do to weather and QB pressures /hits.. Ohio St wins by 1 point . Loses to Oregon and Ryan Day will next be seen on the set of College Game Day in 25’…. 🤣
you made tickets extremely affordable (something a lot of tennessee fans don’t see at home) and it’s within a 5 hour drive for most tennessee fans… if you don’t believe that we can swarm that stadium then you’re either in denial or just a hater
Most of what I'm seeing are in the $500 - $1,500 each range on the local market. The secondary market tickets were After the season ticket holders bought theirs, after the boosters got theirs, after the local businesses go theirs... The entire stadium was never on sale. Not close. But I have no hate for UT. Really enjoyed rubbing elbows with UT fans at OSU and PSU bowl games in Orlando
Its not smith I worry about. At least not on McCoys side of the field. But they have a great 2 and 3 option. Their number 3 guy has more yards than Thornton does. I argue that he is as good as obuke
Carnell Tate will be a long time NFL starter. As will the next three wideouts on the bench. Ohio State just has to use them. The o line can actually still pass block.
It would be an incredible accomplishment for Tennessee to score 34 points. I would bet my life against the worst offense in the CFP putting up the most points OSU has surrendered all season as the #1 defense.
Mmmkay... if you think UT in the shoe, in 15* weather is 2 points better than Oregon at home in the 60's, best of luck. May the best team win. Will be a great game
@@PPandT it's gonna be interesting. I can definitely see either team getting this win, idk just got a feeling my vols are gonna get it done. We'll see is all I can say lol. The whole 1st round is gonna be interesting. I know the teams I think will win but I can see anyting happening really. It's exciting. Good luck. GBO!!
OSU leads Tennessee in nearly every metric and has played a more difficult schedule with better wins. They run for the same YPC. Tennessee has been poor on the road. People are down on OSU because of their high expectations. Compare the two teams and there is a clear favorite. Get real Ari, talk some ball instead of 3 minutes about ticket sales segued into “is Ohio state mentally broken”. Will be back in a week when you’re picking them to win it all OSU 31-17
Everyone is counting my Vols out...but i guess they have a reason to. We suck on the road and Ohio State is looking for revenge and get that last loss out of their minds. I hooe Nico and the offense can start clickikg for this game. I just think Ohio State wins at home.
I'm a OSU fan but I already put a bet for ten to cover the spread. Btw I'll be there in the stadium with my kids for their first game. J I wanna say they got this but Michigan game killed it
This is the first time in a while that around 80% of CFB fans are picking a touchdown dog to win outright. This is still a team that is one second away from having 3 top 5 wins in a single season. Tennessee hasn’t blown out any p4 team all year except NC state and OSU has like 8 blowouts
UT deserves their flowers and is definitely a playoff team. Can't hate on the fan excitement, but... 8 SEC foes: 24-40 in-conference. 6 SEC wins: 15-33 in-conference. Avg score of all 8 SEC games: 25-19. May the best team win
Ohio state 31 voles 10. Nico beat Bama at home and beat Oklahoma. Everyone will pretend that Fat Heupel had a team late Saturday night. Get ready for the voles to complain about the refs. Nico plays horrible on the road
Ohio State isn’t putting 31 on a real defense😂 you ain’t facing a little big10 team in this one🤣 you’ll be lucky to score 13 with that offense and QB and Ryan Day as their leader💀💀 this gonna get ugly for Ohio State.
@@evanschaffhauser9987 DO IT!! And don’t be a coward🫵🏼 stick to your word little buckeye and come back to this after the game. You’ll probably be too busy trying to figure out how you can make Tennessee players felons for whooping your teams ass🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
The only thing I ask for, is an equally called football game by the refs. TN can't beat OSU, the weather, the stadium and the REFS.

If i see someone mention the weather one more time ill vomit. It is no colder there then here right now😂
"Ohio state is bigger" 😂🍊
Cmon people, I keep reading if,if, if, IF MY AUNT HAD BALLS SHE WOULD BE MY UNCLE
The Buck team against GA had CJ Stroud and Marv Harrison ( until he got targeted in the end zone )
Tennessee fans are something different though Ohio state hasn’t seen anything like it.
I don't think I have ever heard so much talk about the weather for a college football game.
I trolled so many OSU fans yesterday after the Chip Kelly conference. I’ll probably take a break today or tomorrow before getting back to it later in the week. I can do this for an entire year again because they lost 13-10 to Michigan, lol.
Tennessee by 3. Last second field goal. 34-31
There's not going to be that much scoring in 16 degree weather.
Last second FG? Maybe, but will need to be a 35 yarder or less. By game's end, the wind chill will be around 10* F and it will be like kicking a cinder block.
It won’t be that high scoring. Ohio state will struggle against Tennessee’s Dline 31-17 Tennessee
Which Ohio St team is going to show up?
It’ll have to be one that we’ve never seen if they wanna actually play with Tennessee
Thats a no brainer to take that spread. Ohio States offense has gotten worse since the first few weeks.
Am I the only person who thinks Tennessee wins if it’s not a snow game but loses if it is? (Solely because I think Tennessee orange might be the weirdest color ever for a team to wear during a snow game in the history of all football)
If Sampson gets 93 rushing yards it will be the lowest all season.
Ohio State's fan base is bigger than Tennessee's? I'm a Clemson fan and I don't know about that... lol
As Indiana's coach like's to say "google it" looks like OSU is at the top of every list as far as fan base.
@stixxinator all I get when I Google it are results that vary depending on what site it is... but, Ohio State is ranked first in all of them. Maybe I'm just thinking of how loud and obnoxious Vols fans are. Lol.... and yes I know Clemson fans are also obnoxious. 🤣
I’m a TN fan and I’m expecting disappointment but will be happily surprised if we win
OSU fans are saving their money for Pasadena and if Tennessee manages to win; they saved their money. Maybe the money saved goes to Ryan Day’s buyout fund.
I can see about 10%. Would be surprised if it gets up to 20% UT fans.
Don't underestimate Volnation.
Your gonna see alot of Orange most likley! Check out Tennessee vs Oregon at Autzen. They had rows of Orange for days! 😮 True dedicated fan base!
Howard don’t want no smoke after the MICHIGAN game!!!!
Did they even talk about Tenn weaknesses lol
I LOVE THIS MATCH UP
Me too! I wish SEC teams and Big Ten teams had to play each other in the regular season. It would really speak volumes for the reality of college football.
Does everyone forget that Ohio State beat 2 top 5 teams just a couple weeks before the xichigan game? Or that they only lost by 1 point to the #1 team on the road.
That’s a ranking system, bro. That has nothing to do with the reality that the SEC teams are bigger faster and stronger. Good luck👍🏼 you’re gonna need it.
Ive heard as much as 35% Vols... Im picking Tenn to win 41 - 24
41 points? Against the #1 scoring defense in the nation? At home, in a game with likely single-digit wind chills in the 4th quarter? From a UT O that averaged 25 ppg against 8 SEC foes with a combined conference record of 24-40? SEC foes with a combined conference record of 15-33 in the six UT wins? Mmmkay... Maybe, I guess. Best of luck to the Vols
Nebraska game?
Nebraska would beat Tennessee.
Just heard names of some of the officiating crew,Tennessee has an uphill battle.Not only playing opponent on their home field,but will have to deal with poor officiating.
getting those excuses lined up already?
VOLS , the most penalized team in the Nation. I guess all the refs are to blame
And they’ll still win by two scores😂
I really wish they wernt coming off that loss as a tn fan it's gona be hard for us to win this we gotta take the air out of the stadium early and keep it out to win
Ohio state’s offense played poorly against Michigan. The defense gave up 6 points. People act like they got smashed by a trash team. I can’t wait to see the reaction from all the same people after Saturday.
Defense really gave up 3... the other 10 came from a combined 5 yards on two drives because of a QB that should've been on a stretcher getting an MRI. But a loss is a loss and that stinker is history.
@ I understand that but of course you know the haters🤷🏻♂️.
I love how they think Tennessee is coming to take over the shoe with its fans and stomp out some soft over rated team 😂 Enjoy the game Saturday 🤘🏼
@@Dicki-l5ythey are! They’re coming to a significantly lesser teams, stadium, and going to beat them big
A lot of UT chatter. Definitely deserving of the playoff. Maybe they're great? I don't know. 8 SEC games: avg score 25-19. SEC foe's conf. record: 24-40 (.375). SEC foe's conf. record in their 6 SEC wins: 15-33 (.313) including 5-3 Alabama. Against 4 non-conf. foes: 595 ypg offense. Vs SEC foes: 392 ypg on offense? IDK... I'm not betting any money on this one, but barring a last-second snowstorm, I don't see UT offense doing enough to win this game. Feels like an under kind of game to me, especially if it gets windy and hinders passing for both teams.
Ohio State's offense has been clunky all year. They have underperformed based upon their roster talent......and that's on coaching.
Well if what I've been hearing is really true then you're going to see a very large amount of ORANGE 🍊 in the Shoe. We might not "take over the Shoe" but there will be a large % of Tennessee fans there. We're one of the best fan bases in the country when it comes to traveling to cheer on our VOLS. GO BIG ORANGE 🔶️ 🍊!!!!
how can u say osu will meet the spread. but the whole discussion is if they can win.
The VOLS have one of the worst offenses in the playoffs, dude says 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Hate the 2022 Ohio St v Georgia reference. That team had CJ Stroud at QB.
If Ryan Day hits the transfer portal, OSU has a great shot to win. Otherwise, I’m not too confident in my Buckeyes.
Its all about momentum. TN has it. If Nico stays hot, we will make it to the championship. Cuz if he stays hot, we can win in every facet of the game. We already have the D and running game. 31-20 Vols.
You won’t beat Texas. But you’ll win the games against Ohio State and Oregon. Tennessee has the hardest path in this whole playoffs
How yall gone say Ohio state fan base bigger
Because Ohio State has the biggest fan base in the country, maybe?
@ that’s cap you can’t even prove that !! Tennesee make more money off they football team with less seats in they stadium make it make sense!! Yall love talking off “history” or some bogus yt lie knowing damn well the vols fan base is at peak rn
@ctbspiffy423 you are delusional if you actually believe that
@@ctbspiffy423 everything is out there if care to search. Just look at the state population, and the school populations. 11.8 mill for Ohio and 7.1 mill for Tennessee. Schools are 66k for Ohio State and 28k for Tennessee. To be fair though, Tennessee is listed in the top ten everywhere I looked. It's not even close to Ohio State though. No SEC school is. They just don't have the size. Even Texas and Florida are smaller schools. Those two do have larger populations. They have to share fans with other teams though. Research is your friend.
@ctbspiffy423 do your research, geez! Ohio State is the #1 revenue producing program in the country. There are levels to this thing. The Internet is your friend. Look this stuff up for yourself.
Michigan game plan was terrible but im still taking OSU
Ar rettared Michigan had bad players QB
Wich ohio state is showing up?
I don’t see that happening it’s just Tennessee fans being fans
OSU clearly has the better team and its not close. OSU has the better player at 16 out 22 positions on the field. UT has an awful receiving core against a top 3 OSU secondary. OSU is going to stop the run like they did all year and force a shakey QB to force the ball into tight windows.
I think I heard this before... 4 years running against 〽 🤣
@@W.A.1818 Exactly! Especially this year. UT's DL and RB is their strength. Hmmmmm.
Yea good luck with that🤣🤡 you ain’t playing a little Big10 team this time. Tennessee gonna smoke you and send Ryan day out the stadium
If UT has four NFL dudes at DT, how is that pos not a + for them?
Georgia took over ND’s stadium!
I think the Tennessee that played GA beats OSU
Don’t go missing once we win on Saturday I don’t wanna hear any excuses stand on business
Ohio St will intercept 2-3 balks on Saturday do to weather and QB pressures /hits.. Ohio St wins by 1 point . Loses to Oregon and Ryan Day will next be seen on the set of College Game Day in 25’…. 🤣
I am a Michigan fan and I think Ohio st will work Tennessee
Think again sign stealer 😂.
I don't know why you would think that. The Vols are basically Michigan but with an actual offense 😁
I believe OSU will beat TN and I KNOW MI would kill the Vols. I am an OSU fan.
Lol you're not 😂rocky top gonna roll go blue ohio soft university
@@jeffosmun436Mi is losing to the vols by 25 bruh
you made tickets extremely affordable (something a lot of tennessee fans don’t see at home) and it’s within a 5 hour drive for most tennessee fans… if you don’t believe that we can swarm that stadium then you’re either in denial or just a hater
Most of what I'm seeing are in the $500 - $1,500 each range on the local market. The secondary market tickets were After the season ticket holders bought theirs, after the boosters got theirs, after the local businesses go theirs... The entire stadium was never on sale. Not close. But I have no hate for UT. Really enjoyed rubbing elbows with UT fans at OSU and PSU bowl games in Orlando
That sounded like 2 dudes who don't have much faith in ohio st, yet know what they're talking about. GBO 🍊
Its not smith I worry about. At least not on McCoys side of the field. But they have a great 2 and 3 option. Their number 3 guy has more yards than Thornton does. I argue that he is as good as obuke
Carnell Tate will be a long time NFL starter. As will the next three wideouts on the bench. Ohio State just has to use them. The o line can actually still pass block.
I think my Vols get it done in Columbus 34-20. I can see both teams putting up more points too, put either way I think the vols get the win.
It would be an incredible accomplishment for Tennessee to score 34 points. I would bet my life against the worst offense in the CFP putting up the most points OSU has surrendered all season as the #1 defense.
Mmmkay... if you think UT in the shoe, in 15* weather is 2 points better than Oregon at home in the 60's, best of luck. May the best team win. Will be a great game
@@PPandT it's gonna be interesting. I can definitely see either team getting this win, idk just got a feeling my vols are gonna get it done. We'll see is all I can say lol. The whole 1st round is gonna be interesting. I know the teams I think will win but I can see anyting happening really. It's exciting. Good luck. GBO!!
Yeah I have 31-17 Vols. Ohio State will do very little offensively and they’ll be living on their defense and they’ll get tired as the game goes on.
OSU leads Tennessee in nearly every metric and has played a more difficult schedule with better wins. They run for the same YPC. Tennessee has been poor on the road.
People are down on OSU because of their high expectations. Compare the two teams and there is a clear favorite. Get real Ari, talk some ball instead of 3 minutes about ticket sales segued into “is Ohio state mentally broken”. Will be back in a week when you’re picking them to win it all
OSU 31-17
Ohio State played a more difficult schedule??🤣🤡 get real with yourself, bro
Everyone is counting my Vols out...but i guess they have a reason to. We suck on the road and Ohio State is looking for revenge and get that last loss out of their minds. I hooe Nico and the offense can start clickikg for this game. I just think Ohio State wins at home.
I'm a OSU fan but I already put a bet for ten to cover the spread. Btw I'll be there in the stadium with my kids for their first game. J I wanna say they got this but Michigan game killed it
You’ll probably leave early😂
Buckeyes tanked against Michigan.
This is the first time in a while that around 80% of CFB fans are picking a touchdown dog to win outright. This is still a team that is one second away from having 3 top 5 wins in a single season. Tennessee hasn’t blown out any p4 team all year except NC state and OSU has like 8 blowouts
Against sorry mfs. Y'all getting y'all ass kick sat at 7 p.m. chump Go Fuckin Vols 🍊🍊🍊
yeah the education level of your typical southerner shows
You will join the ranks of Vol haters this weekend....
UT deserves their flowers and is definitely a playoff team. Can't hate on the fan excitement, but... 8 SEC foes: 24-40 in-conference. 6 SEC wins: 15-33 in-conference. Avg score of all 8 SEC games: 25-19. May the best team win
Tennessee 12 Ohio State 3
Lets gooooo TN
Ohio state 31 voles 10. Nico beat Bama at home and beat Oklahoma. Everyone will pretend that Fat Heupel had a team late Saturday night. Get ready for the voles to complain about the refs. Nico plays horrible on the road
They are already complaining about the officiating
Ohio State isn’t putting 31 on a real defense😂 you ain’t facing a little big10 team in this one🤣 you’ll be lucky to score 13 with that offense and QB and Ryan Day as their leader💀💀 this gonna get ugly for Ohio State.
@@charlieevans4805😂imma bookmark this for after osu wins by 14+
@@evanschaffhauser9987 DO IT!! And don’t be a coward🫵🏼 stick to your word little buckeye and come back to this after the game. You’ll probably be too busy trying to figure out how you can make Tennessee players felons for whooping your teams ass🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Go Vols is coming from a Michigan fan
I'm a Dawgs fan, but I would love to see Tennessee beat Ohio State
OHIO STATE IS NOT USE TO FACING TOUGH DEFENSE OF TEAMS
Not sure why you think that, they face the #1 defense in the nation in practice every week.
Ohio state wins I can’t wait to hear what these two clowns have to say
I think I know what they'll say. "Ohio State won."
