Michigan, Miami and Clemson are +4000, ahead of both the Vols and Texas A&M at +5000. USC and Utah are next at +6000 while Missouri is set at +6500.

Tennessee’s 2024 Schedule 

Tennessee opens the season on August 31 against Chattanooga and goes to Charlotte in Week 2 for a neutral-site game against N.C. State on September 7 at Bank of America Stadium in the Duke’s Mayo Classic. The Vols return home to host Kent State on September 14.

After starting conference play with road games at Oklahoma on September 21 and at Arkansas on October 5, Tennessee hosts Florida, Alabama (October 19), Kentucky (November 2) and Mississippi State (November 9), with the second bye week of the season set for October 26, in the middle of the four-game run at home.

The first bye week of the season is on September 28, splitting up the Oklahoma and Arkansas trips. 

Tennessee goes to Georgia on November 16, hosts UTEP on November 23 and closes the regular-season schedule at Vanderbilt on November 30. 

Kickoff times, TV info set for first three games 

Kickoff times and TV information for Tennessee’s first three games were announced last week. The season-opener against Chattanooga will be a 12:45 p.m. Eastern Time start, the N.C. State game Charlotte is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and Kent State will kick at 7:45 p.m. ET.

The Chattanooga and Kent State games will be televised by SEC Network and the N.C. State game will be on ABC.

The SEC this season moves to ABC, ending its longtime run on CBS, and will bring new kickoff times and format for the announcement of kickoff times.

In years past, the league would announce kickoff times and TV designations two weeks in advance during the season. Action Network’s Brett McMurphy reported last week that fans won’t have to wait that long moving forward.

“(The) SEC will also have kickoff times for majority of all games announce by late June,” McMurphy posted on social media.
