GoVols247's Patrick Brown and Ryan Callahan preview the Third Saturday in October showdown between Tennessee and Alabama on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.

We react to the first SEC availability report of the week for both teams and break down the stakes for the Vols and Crimson Tide. Is it *really* a College Football Playoff eliminator for the loser? How do the Vols respond to being an underdog and not being given much of a chance of winning by national analysts and fans like?

Then we assess some reasons Tennessee should be confident it can win this game and the causes of concern that could see Alabama hand the Vols another loss at Bryant-Denny Stadium, where they last one in 2003.

We also discussed Tennessee landing a commitment from three-star 2027 DB Kamauri Whitfield.
