Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar (6) throws the ball during Tennessee's game against New Mexico State in Neyland Stadium on Nov. 15, 2025.

Vanderbilt football is playing for a potential College Football Playoff spot, and Tennessee is looking to dash its rivals' hopes.

What a different matchup between the two Tennessee rivals when the No. 12 Commodores (9-2, 5-2 SEC) and Vols (8-3, 4-3) face off Saturday, Nov. 29, from Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Vanderbilt will need to shake off a six-game losing streak to its rival to keep alive its hope for a CFP berth. The Commodores' last win over Tennessee came in a 38-13 triumph on Nov. 24, 2018, at Neyland. The Vols have won each subsequent matchup by at least 13 points.
