Why Tennessee football should want to face North Carolina in Gator Bowl, not NC State

If the Gator Bowl is to be Tennessee football's postseason path,
then let the opponent be North Carolina.


The Vols (8-4) will learn their bowl destination on Sunday. Most
of the prominent projections have identified Tennessee as being
earmarked for the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, against either UNC
(8-4) or North Carolina State (9-3).


Tennessee last played in the Gator Bowl to culminate the 2019
season, rallying to beat Indiana to culminate Jeremy Pruitt's
second year on the job.


On today's episode, Blake Toppmeyer, Adam Sparks and John Adams
examine the Vols' postseason path and why UNC would be a more
desirable opponent for Tennessee.
