Ohio State is gearing up for an opening-round College Football Playoff matchup against Tennessee. The Buckeyes are in the Playoff for the 6th time while the Vols are in for the first time in program history.

With the matchup less than a week away, the Buckeyes have revealed the uniforms they’ll sport in this matchup. The team will wear the alternate scarlet “Color Rush” uniforms for this matchup. The team is seeking to “Scarlet the Shoe,” asking all fans to wear scarlet for this matchup.

The team will wear the classic grey helmets with scarlet jerseys and scarlet pants.

This is the first time the Buckeyes have worn scarlet jerseys and pants since 2021. In that 2021 game, the No. 5 Buckeyes beat No. 20 Penn State 33-24 at Ohio Stadium.

Typically, the Buckeyes wear scarlet jerseys with grey pants at home and white jerseys and grey pants on the road.

This will be just the 2nd all-time meeting between the Buckeyes and Vols.. The first meeting was back in the 1996 Citrus Bowl when the Vols escaped with a 20-14 victory. Heading into this matchup, both the Vols and Buckeyes have a 10-2 record. The Buckeyes are the No. 8 seed while the Vols are the No. 9 seed. The lone losses for the Buckeyes came to Michigan and Oregon while Tennessee lost to Arkansas and Georgia.

As of Monday night, the Buckeyes were a 7-point favorite over the Vols. The first-round game will kick off from Ohio Stadium on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. ET. The winner of this matchup will take on No. 1 Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
