Before losing their rivalry series with Michigan for the fourth consecutive year, Ohio State was well on its way to a Big Ten title game and had recorded two top-5 victories in the closing minutes over No. 3 Penn State (20-13) and No. 5 Indiana (38-15). On their home field, the Buckeyes offense was halted and managed only 252 yards, outgaining the Wolverines despite throwing two turnovers and averaging 3.0 yards per ground carry. Despite having to settle for a No. 8 seed and a difficult first-round matchup with Tennessee, Ohio State was still eligible to play in the 2024 College Football Playoff.
In addition to finishing with the identical 10-2 record as the Buckeyes, the Volunteers were the first team outside to watch the SEC championship game. Tennessee’s two losses occurred away from home, first in an upset loss to Arkansas (19-14) in Week 6 and then to Georgia (31-17), ranked No. 12, in Week 12, before they ended the season with victories over Vanderbilt and UTEP. With national rankings of No. 4 in scoring defense (13.9 ppg) and No. 8 in scoring offensively (37.3 ppg), the Vols provide balance to this game.
