The Tennessee football program will host Oklahoma this week with a lot on the line in the race for a bid in the College Football Playoff and the explosive Volun

Teams seeded No. 1 to No. 8 get a bye and a home playoff game. Teams seeded No. 9 to No. 16 each open the tournament with a home playoff game. Teams seeded No. 17 to No. 24 each must play on the road twice to advance to the neutral site quarterfinals.

The No. 17 Tennessee Volunteers face the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 at Kroger Field in Lexington, Ky.

The SEC and Big Ten both offered "College GameDay" an appetizing option or two for its Week 10 destination. In the SEC, the Oklahoma Sooners are in Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers in a de facto College Football Playoff elimination game at Neyland Stadium (6:30 p.m. CT, ABC).

Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel congratulated new Vols baseball coach Josh Elander and wish Tony Vitello well in his press conference Oct. 27.

Aguilar threw for a season-high 396 yards and three touchdowns to lead Tennessee to a 56-34 win at Kroger Field on Oct. 25. The Vols (6-2, 3-2 SEC) had three 100-yard receivers in Chris Brazzell II, Braylon Staley and Mike Matthews.

Tennessee looks to have an offense that could reasonably compete for a national championship. But the Vols, as presently constructed, do not have a good defense.
