Tennessee will see ESPN’s College GameDay set for a third time this fall when the Vols head up to Columbus, OH, to take on Ohio State in the first round of the College Football Playoffs.
GameDay announced a double-header for the first round of the College Football Playoffs as the show will broadcast from South Bend on Friday and Columbus on Saturday.
Saturday’s show from Ohio State’s campus will take place at the normal 9:00 a.m. ET start time on ESPN.
We’re ready for an electric first round of the CFP with DOUBLE the GameDay shows 🍿

More from RTI: Colin Cowherd Rattles Off Reasons Why Tennessee is a ‘Bad Matchup’ For Ohio State
Tennessee is 1-1 in College GameDay contests this season with a win over Oklahoma on Sept. 21 and a loss to Georgia on Nov. 16. GameDay did not set up shop in Knoxville at any point this past season.
With GameDay broadcasting in Columbus on the day of the Tennessee game, fans can likely expect featured stories or segments with Tennessee players and potentially even an appearance from head coach Josh Heupel on stage, though that seems more unlikely with everything going on.
8-seed Ohio State will host 9-seed Tennessee in a first-round playoff game from Ohio Stadium on Saturday, Dec. 21, at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Stay tuned to Rocky Top Insider for more Tennessee football coverage leading up to the game.
