The Tennessee Volunteers conclude the regular season this Saturday at 4:00 on the SEC Network, but it’s Rivalry Week, and there are great games all week long, especially on Saturday. Here’s when and where to find the games that matter most to Vols fans, along with some suggestions on how and why to watch them.
The list curated just for Vols fans is up first, but there’s a full schedule following that so you can curate your own if you like.

Away | Home | Time | TV | How | Why |
Ohio | Akron | 6:00 PM | ESPN+ | Channel Hop | It's football |
Western Michigan | Northern Illinois | 7:00 PM | ESPNU | Channel Hop | It's football |
Here we go again with teams in Ohio playing football on non-Saturdays. I think they’re confused.

Away | Home | Time | TV | How | Why |
Ole Miss | Mississippi State | 7:30 PM | ESPN | Live | It's the Egg Bowl |
Rivalry Week cracks open Thanksgiving night with Mississippi-Mississippi State. Alexa, why do they call it the Egg Bowl?
Friday, November 29, 2019
Away | Home | Time | TV | How | Why |
Virginia Tech | Virginia | 12:00 PM | ABC | Live | Possible bowl opponent |
#19 Cincinnati | #18 Memphis | 3:30 PM | ABC | Live | Top 25 matchup |
#17 Tennessee | Florida State | 7:00 PM | CBSSN | Live | Oops, it's hoops! |
There are a lot of games on TV this Black Friday, but most of them aren’t of much interest to Vols fans. So, if you don’t like those choices, just look for the oblong ball on your TV (or consult the entire schedule below) and find whatever floats your boat.
But notice that line of Orange, which is the Vols hoops team playing Florida State at 7:00 on CBS Sports Network. So be sure to catch that. It’s good to chase a little football with a little basketball.
Gameday, November 30, 2019

#2 Ohio State | #13 Michigan | 12:00 PM | FOX | Live | The Game between Top 15 teams |
AFTERNOON | |||||
#5 Alabama | #15 Auburn | 3:30 PM | CBS | Channel Hop, until Vols | Iron Bowl between Top 15 teams |
#12 Wisconsin | #10 Minnesota | 3:30 PM | ABC | Channel Hop, until Vols | Paul Bunyan's Axe - Top 15 teams |
Vanderbilt | Tennessee | 4:00 PM | SECN | Live | Go Vols! |
#17 Tennessee Hoops | Purdue or VCU | 4:00 PM | TBD | DVR | Go Vols, but later! |
EVENING | |||||
Texas A&M | #1 LSU | 7:00 PM | ESPN | Channel Hop | Possible bowl implications |
#9 Oklahoma | #21 Oklahoma State | 8:00 PM | FOX | Channel Hop | Bedlam between Top 25 teams |
Wait, we’re on at the same time as the Iron Bowl? Bummer, as I would have liked to have seen that one live. But we’ll be busy trying to pack three years’ worth on revenge on the Commodores into 60 minutes at 4:00 on the SEC Network.
Depending on what happens with Vols hoops Friday night against Florida State, they’ll play again on Saturday either at 4:00 or at 7:00 and against either Purdue or VCU. If it’s on at 4:00, DVR it and watch it later. Hey, I love hoops, but if it comes down to game number 12 of 12 or game number six of 32, I’m going with 12 of 12. If it’s on at 7:00, then DVR that and catch up with it after the Vols-Vandy football game.
Warm up with Ohio State and Michigan at noon on Fox, although I feel the need to voice the opinion here that you can’t give it a name as presumptuous as The Game if it’s on at noon and on Fox. And what is up with Ohio State’s unnatural affection for the word “The” anyway?
There are also a couple of great options in the evening, so have at it.
Enjoy!
