Tennessee enters its regular season finale 9-2 (5-2 SEC) and can punch its ticket to the 12-team College Football Playoffs with a victory over Vanderbilt. After SEC chaos on Saturday, the Vols are now in a win and get in spot against Vanderbilt.

The Commodores enter the regular-season finale on a two-game losing streak but it’s already been an encouraging season for Clark Lea’s program. Vanderbilt enters the rivalry game 6-5 (3-4 SEC) and would love nothing more than to punctuate a strong season by ruining Tennessee’s postseason hopes.

Kickoff between Tennessee and Vanderbilt is at noon ET on Saturday afternoon at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville. ABC is broadcasting the game.
