Look: Tennessee, Ohio State show off uniform combos for first round of College Football Playoff
Tennessee Football will be in its all-white road uniform for Saturday night’s game at Ohio State in the first round of the College Football Playoff while the Buckeyes wear their alternate all-scarlet look while they look to “Scarlet the Shoe.” Both teams showed off their uniform sets on social media.
The Vols will be in white helmets, white jerseys and white pants while Ohio State will go with its traditional silver helmet, scarlet jerseys and scarlet pants.
No. 9 Tennessee (10-2) and No. 8 Ohio State (10-2) are scheduled for an 8 p.m. Eastern Time start on ABC and ESPN in the final game of the first round.

The winner of the Tennessee-Ohio State game will advance to face No. 1 Oregon in the Rose Bowl on January 1. The Buckeyes opened as a 7.5-point favorite for the game on Sunday.
It’s only the second time the two teams have met, with the Vols winning 20-14 in the Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Day 1996.
No. 10 Indiana plays at No. 7 Notre Dame to open the first round Friday night, before a tripleheader on Saturday, which starts with No. 11 SMU at No. 6 Penn State followed by No. 12 Clemson at No. 5 Texas, before the Vols-Buckeyes nightcap.
Ohio State last week teased a different uniform look for the game, posting a video on social media showing their alternate scarlet pants with the caption “THEY’RE BACK.”
