Tennessee football is projected to play a first-round game at Ohio State in the latest CFP rankings released Tuesday.

It positions the Buckeyes well and in a spot to most likely host a home game in Ohio Stadium. If OSU remains in the same spot (there’s a good chance it does) after the last CFP Rankings are released Sunday, post conference championship games, there’s a decent change the opponent could be SEC foe, Tennessee.

One of the more interesting decisions made by the committee this week was where it chose to rank Ohio State following its loss to Michigan in Week 14. This wee, the Buckeyes landed at No. 8 in the committee’s projected bracket — 1 spot above 10-2 Tennessee.
