College Gameday is heading to a Tennessee game for the third time this season as the signature ESPN pregame show is heading to Athens for next week’s marquee matchup between the Vols and Georgia.

In the week nine polls, Tennessee is the No. 3 team in the country while Georgia is the No. 2 team in the country. With the inaugural college football playoff poll coming out this week and Tennessee and Georgia easily handling SEC east foes Saturday, there’s a strong chance the game will be a meeting between the nation’s top two teams.

Either way, the winner of the marquee matchup will be the new No. 1 team in the country.

More importantly, the winner will all but punch their ticket to the SEC Championship game in Atlanta.
