There's a small advantage the Tennessee Vols will have against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Tennessee is set to play Ohio State in Columbus on December 21 at 8:00 PM ET.

The inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff field was announced on Sunday. No. 8 seed Ohio State (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) will host No. 9 seed Tennessee (10-2, 6-2 SEC) on Dec. 21 in the first round. Ki

Ohio State will have the opportunity to host a College Football Playoff game for the first time ever in a couple of weeks. As the No. 8 seed in the bracket, the Buckeyes are going to welcome the No. 9 Tennessee Volunteers to Columbus.

One of Tennessee's biggest games since the 1998 national title will carry high stakes. But Josh Heupel wants his Vols grounded to play Ohio State.
