Part 7/8:

The consensus among analysts leans toward Ohio State, especially given the confidence in their ability to manage their preparations and adapt their game plan effectively. However, with Tennessee's capabilities and the unpredictability of the playoffs, this game is expected to be closely contested.

Ultimately, while Ohio State is currently favored, any number of factors could sway the outcome in favor of Tennessee. If Ohio State can channel a strong performance post-defeat, they might end up on top. However, if Tennessee finds their rhythm, they could turn the tables and upset the Buckeyes.
