Bowl Predictions 2024: Projections and Odds For Playoff Bracket and Top Matchups

Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe closest game on paper is the No. 9-versus-No.8 game in Columbus.

Ohio State is a seven-point favorite over Tennessee, but there will be plenty of doubters in the Buckeyes after their disappointing home loss to Michigan two weeks ago.

Ryan Day’s Buckeyes beat Penn State and Indiana and put up 31 points on Oregon, so there is precedent for how they’ll play against a top-10 team.

Tennessee will go into Columbus with a freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava, and that could be a hindrance on the Vols.

Two of the Vols’ three defeats this season came on the road at Arkansas and Georgia. They only scored 31 combined points in those two games.

Ohio State still has a strong defense, and if it shows improvement from the Michigan game on offense, it can take advantage of its home field and set up a rematch with Oregon.

Prediction: Ohio State -7
