Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report has updated his bracket to reflect the end of the 2024 regular season.
In his projection, he has Tennessee hosting Ohio State inside Neyland Stadium. This would be the eight and nine seeds squaring off with the Vols getting the better mark.
This would place Tennessee against Oregon in the following round if it was able to win. Other SEC squads in the field are 2-seed Texas and 7-seed Georgia.
