It’s Gameday on Rocky Top, and the 3-6 Tennessee Volunteers look to play the role of spoiler and pull off an upset against a No. 5-ranked Texas A&M squad motivated by a somewhat remote possibility of sneaking into the College Football Playoff. It’s also Conference Championship Weekend, with a couple of excellent games in the other time slots as well.

Here’s the Gameday Gameplan for Tennessee fans. Where and when to find the Vols game on TV, what other games to watch as well, and what to listen to and read as you wait for kickoff.

When is the Vols game, and how can I watch it?

Here are the particulars for today’s Tennessee game:

• Tipoff: 12:00 ET
• TV: ESPN
• Official video streaming: ESPN video stream
• Official audio streaming: Vol Network
• Live stats

The best games for Vols fans to watch today

The suggested viewing plan for Vols fans today starts with the Tennessee game at noon on ESPN then continues with the best game of the afternoon slot (the ACC Championship game, which features two current Playoff teams in Clemson and Notre Dame) and the SEC Championship in the evening. If you’d rather for some reason, the Big 10 and Big 12 conference championships are also on at the same time as the Vols’ game.

Here’s our curated list of games to watch today:

Go Vols!

It’s Gameday on Rocky Top, and even though all signs point to our beloved Vols having a difficult time against the hated Gators this afternoon, I’m going to enjoy watching football, darn it. Because it’s football, and there are only so many opportunities to watch. Besides, Tennessee could make it interesting if they win the turnover battle and shorten the game by running the ball well and eating the clock like it’s Thanksgiving dinner. So, let’s do that.

It’s still Gameday on Rocky Top, and I’m still excited for another college football Saturday, even if the Tennessee Volunteers (2-4) are an 11-point underdog to the Auburn Tigers (4-2) and the GRT Statsy Preview Machine thinks Auburn will cover. Because it’s 2020, don’tcha know, and if you don’t think the unexpected can happen in 2020, you haven’t been paying attention. Besides, the Vols have a chance to fix their third-down problems against the Tigers, and if they do, it could translate into that aforementioned something unexpected. Bonus besides: There are a lot of good games to watch today.

The good games get started early today with Indiana taking on Ohio State and Arkansas matching up against LSU. Go Hoosiers and Hogs. There’s a decent 3:30 slot as well, and then it’s time for the Vols to kick off while there’s Bedlam in Big Hat Country.
