Get rid of OU and play UNC instead. We will play OU plenty.

Washington will be great. I’ve been to UDub before. Weird stadium but beautiful scenery and very nice campus.

I highly doubt that game ends up happening. Even if the SEC doesn't expand until 2025, Oklahoma's portion of the home-and-home was lost to the COVID-19 season; why would the Sooners come to Knoxville and play an OOC game a year before joining the conference, sacrificing a key home tilt in doing so?

Give me another Battle at Bristol (Virginia Tech, Clemson, Louisville or UNC) or a neutral site in an unusual city (Maryland in D.C. or Utah in Las Vegas, maybe) if Danny White isn't able to negotiate a P5 buy game/home-and-home where the return leg is 7 years away.

Arkansas State would be a fun matchup.

Let me tell you exactly how that game would go:

Ark State gets the ball first and puts together an impressive drive. They kick a field goal and go up 3-0.

After that, Ark State plays an absurdly conservative level of football trying to “play field position” and not take risks in order to sit on the lead. Run-run-run-punt the very next drive and every drive after.

Tennessee wins 84-3.
