The Tennessee Vols could have a chance to break two of college football's longest active streaks in 2024.
247Sports recently highlighted college football's 10 longest active home winning streaks. And two of the teams with the longest home winning streaks are on the Vols' schedule this fall.
The Oklahoma Sooners have won seven games in a row at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Oklahoma's last loss at home came against Baylor on November 5, 2022.
Tennessee will travel to Oklahoma on September 21 for their first matchup against the Sooners since a 2015 meeting in Neyland Stadium. The Sooners will host three home games — against Temple, Houston, and Tulane — before playing the Vols on September 21, which means Oklahoma's home winning streak should be at 10 games when Tennessee comes to Norman (barring an upset).
The Vols could also have a chance to end Georgia's home winning streak, which is the longest in the nation (the Bulldogs have won 25 straight games at Sanford Sanford Stadium). Georgia hasn't lost in Athens since 2019 when the Bulldogs lost to South Carolina (October 12, 2019).
Georgia will play three home games in 2024 before hosting the Vols in November. The Bulldogs will attempt to stretch their home winning streak to 28 games before playing Tennessee (UGA hosts Tennessee Tech, Auburn, and Mississippi State before playing the Volunteers).
If the Vols are going to reach the College Football Playoff in 2024, then a win against Oklahoma in September is a must. Tennessee will hope that the late-season matchup against the Bulldogs isn't a situation where a win is necessary to reach the playoff. But to get to that point, Tennessee will need to handle business — specifically against Florida and Alabama — earlier in the season.
