Gameday Gameplan for Tennessee fans: Texas A&M

Tennessee+Volunteers+Smokey+mascot

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:

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.
