With Tennessee and NC State meeting in real life on Saturday, I fired up EA Sports' College Football 25 video game to see how it would predict things would go.

I placed both teams inside the neutral site in Charlotte, took my hands off the controller and watched how the simulation unfolded.

Here's what happened.
