Tennessee crept up to a tie for No. 2 in the AP Top 25 poll this week ahead of an epic SEC on CBS Game of the Week showdown between the Volunteers and No. 1 Georgia on Saturday. Ohio State is also tied for second in the poll as both the Buckeyes and Volunteers finished with 1,500 points in the voting.
The last two meetings between No. 1 and No. 2 came between Alabama and LSU. In 2019, then-No. 1 LSU beat then-No. 2 Alabama on the way to a national championship. The top-ranked Tigers also beat Alabama in 2011 before the Crimson Tide got revenge in the BCS Championship game. Ironically, the Crimson Tide and Tigers play this week.
