Sets up an insane matchup & opportunity vs. Alabama with their best chance to snap the streak.
Interesting that Ohio State's wins over 8 and 21 was pointed to as the difference maker over Alabama's wins over 20 and 24 to have OSU higher.
So then why wouldn't wins over 6 and 14 by Tennessee that includes a head-to-head (and other factors) be an edge over Alabama as well?
