When it comes to mind games, Tennessee Vols football fans are landing some early victories over the Ohio State faithful. Come Saturday night, Tennessee and Ohio State are ready to face off in the first round of the College Football Playoff. This should be a back-and-forth affair.
Leading up to kickoff, Tennessee supporters are going all-in to make sure they snatch up tickets to pack The Shoe. Speaking of The Shoe, did you know one of its nicknames is now 'Neyland North' out of nowhere?
Evidently that's the case, as an unknown Vols fan went ahead and made that change on wikipedia. The edit has gone viral on social media, with plenty of people showing Tennessee love, while others in Columbus aren't too thrilled about this:
I love Vol Nation… 🤣🤣🤣#GBO pic.twitter.com/xus6gpSS1S

Tennessee fans are going to pack The Shoe for the CFP first round
It's such a harmless prank, but one that's gold. Come Saturday night, The Shoe very well could end up being considered Neyland North, as loads of Vols fans are indeed going to be inside of the stadium to cheer on Josh Heupel and his playmakers.
With kickoff around the corner, Tennessee is a six-point underdog. Ohio State and Ryan Day are feeling pretty confident, but the same can be said for the visitors. Running back Dylan Sampson knows this team has what it takes to post an upset win.
Sampson made it more than clear that Tennessee is not satisfied with just making it to the College Football Playoff. Nope, the entire locker room is ready to make some noise and silence plenty of their doubters out there.
Should Tennessee post a win on Saturday, the team would then move on to face No. 1 Oregon on Jan. 1 in the CFP quarterfinals. That would be an electric matchup, but first the Vols will need to take care of business against the Buckeyes. Come Saturday, we'll see if they're able to pull things off or not.
