Tennessee vs Alabama score today: Live updates, highlights from Week 8 game
Tennessee football and Alabama face off in their Third Saturday in October rivalry game with potential playoff implications on the line.
Neyland Stadium will be rocking as the No. 10 Vols (5-1, 2-1 SEC) host No. 7 Alabama (5-1, 2-1) at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
A lot of the 2024 college football season remains. But the winner of this top-10 matchup should have the inside track to a playoff spot. The loser’s path to the 12-team bracket will narrow.
Alabama won 16 of the past 17 meetings in this series under coach Nick Saban, but he lost to the Vols in 2022 in an epic game at Neyland Stadium. First-year coach Kalen DeBoer will get his first taste of the rivalry today.

Tennessee vs Alabama prediction
Alabama 27, Tennessee 20: Tennessee’s offensive woes seem to be the rule more than the exception lately. So unless the Vols reverse that trend, Alabama has the edge. That being said, this is a winnable game for Tennessee. But it’ll take a strong defensive performance, a rowdy Neyland Stadium and an offensive turnaround. Two of those seem more likely than the other, at least for now. Check out more predictions from our Knox News staff.

Katie Windham Highlights Alabama Areas of Improvement on The Joe Gaither Show
Let’s crank up a Thursday edition of “The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral” with Mason Woods and Katie Windham as we start getting ready for next week’s College Football Playoff game between Alabama and Oklahoma. Windham detailed how the Crimson Tide can improve over the next few weeks, we discuss the team’s health and look back at our last road trip to Norman. The show then discusses the Heisman Trophy finalists before addressing a Kalen DeBoer coaching rumor.
The program opens by power ranking the holidays before discussing Windham’s three areas the Crimson Tide can improve over the next week. Our trio picks the easiest area the team can improve and how Alabama must perform in Norman. Windham details our last trip to Oklahoma as we go down memory lane to the Sooners’ 24-3 victory last season.
The show continues on by getting Windham’s thoughts on Alabama’a College Football Playoff selection and if the Crimson Tide actually deserved its place in the field. She brings up a unique aspect of Alabama’s blowout loss in the SEC Championship and how it played into the program’s inclusion in the College Football Playoffs.
We move from next week’s game into a small discussion on Notre Dame’s reaction of being left out of the field and how it relates to Alabama’s future home-and-home dates with the Fighting Irish. Will the two esteemed programs still face off in a few years?
The show heads into the only college football action of the weekend by highlighting the strong Heisman Trophy finalist field. Who brings home the bronze statue?
Lastly, we spend the final bit of the show talking about Michigan firing Sherrone Moore and the reports of the Wolverines considering persuing Kalen DeBeor for their next head coach. Will DeBoer leave Tuscaloosa for Ann Arbor?
We’re so appreciative of our sponsors who make the show possible. Check out Derek Daniel State Farm in Alabama for your insurance needs. We’re also proud to partner with Purple Turtle Roofing on the program. From your first call to the final nail, our mission is to make sure you feel confident, cared for, and covered, literally.
