College football analyst makes prediction that would result in Neyland Stadium hosting a wild playoff game

There have been a ridiculous amount of 12-team College Football Playoff predictions made this offseason. It's to the point where it's nearly impossible to keep up with all of the predictions (most of which seem to have Georgia winning the natty and Ole Miss/Missouri sneaking into the playoff over the Tennessee Vols).

I feel like I've seen enough playoff predictions at this point that they all blend together and look the same.

There was one recent prediction, however, that caught my eye because of a predicted playoff matchup that would likely result in the wildest game of the playoff era.

College football analyst @CF_Budge put out a playoff prediction this week that includes Tennessee hosting Ole Miss at Neyland Stadium in the first round.

The last time that Ole Miss visited Neyland Stadium (in 2021), we saw one of the craziest college football games of all time.

Ole Miss beat Tennessee in 2021, but not before fans littered the field with trash in protest of some questionable calls by the officials (and some questionable injuries that resulted in numerous stoppages of play).

Any matchup between Ole Miss and Tennessee is going to have some extra juice due to the presence of Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin, a former UT head coach who left Knoxville for USC after one season on Rocky Top.

Add in a playoff atmosphere and I can't even imagine how rowdy Neyland would get for a December matchup against Ole Miss.

Tennessee and Ole Miss are both legitimate playoff contenders entering the 2024 season, so while a matchup between the two programs in the newly expanded 12-team playoff may not be likely, it's certainly plausible. And I would bet that college football fans everywhere are hoping that this is a matchup that will come to fruition later this year.
