Tennessee Form
Tennessee booked their place in the College Football Playoffs by compiling a 10-2 record.
The Volunteers opened with three non-conference wins, before downing Oklahoma 25-15 in their SEC opener.
They then suffered a shock 19-14 defeat in Arkansas, only to rebound with a four-game win streak that included a 24-17 success when they hosted Alabama.
Tennessee’s run was halted by a 31-17 defeat when they visited Georgia, but they bounced back over their final two games to secure a playoff place.
The Volunteers shutout UTEP in a 56-0 victory at home, before heading out on the road to down Vanderbilt 36-23.
Ohio State Form
Ohio State missed out on the Big Ten Championship Game, but a 10-2 record was enough to earn them a place in the playoffs.
The Buckeyes opened with five consecutive blowout wins, with two of those victories coming in Big Ten.
That run was halted when they lost 32-31 to conference newcomers Oregon, but they rebounded over the next five games.
Ohio State downed fellow top-five teams Penn State, 20-23, and Indiana, 38-15, along the way, putting them on the brink of a conference championship appearance.
However, the Buckeyes missed out on the chance to play for the Big Ten crown, suffered a surprise 13-10 defeat when they hosted bitter rivals Michigan in the regular season finale.
Verdict
Ohio State may be the favorites, but that loss to Michigan may have damaged them.
Tennessee have scored consistently and done a good job of keeping the opposition out of the endzone too, so give us the Volunteers and the free points.
