    It’s week 12 of Tennessee football with #4 Tennessee volunteer (8-1) travels to Athens to face No. 10 Georgia Bulldogs (7-2). With their seasons in play, we ran through 100 video game simulations of the classic rivalry to see what the actual outcome might be.

    Anything can happen in college football. And so far this season, ours EA Sports College Football 25 simulations on PS5 resulted in some interesting – often accurate – possibilities.

    However, this week’s game has extra stakes. If the Vols win, they could solidify the team’s position in the College Football Playoff (now ranked 7th) and SEC Championship Game. But a loss to Georgia could be damaging for the Vols.

    Tennessee will face Georgia at 7:30pm on November 16th, a time not available in the video game. So we set the start at 20:00 and the weather to clear to match Athens’ Saturday weather forecast at the time of the simulation.

    Here’s what EA Sports College Football 25 predicted in 100 simulations for Tennessee vs. Georgia.

    In this SEC rivalry matchup, the Bulldogs dominated with 74 wins, meaning the Volunteers won just 26 of the simulated games.

    Most of Tennessee’s wins were by a touchdown or more, but a few were close. However, Georgia consistently beat Tennessee by wide margins and had a complete blowout in Game 36, going 47-0.

    Nine games went to overtime, but the Vols won just three of those games.

    The Vols averaged 29.71 points per game and the Bulldogs averaged 37.86.

    Reporter Knox News Mike Wilson predicts a 24-20 Georgia wina score that matched the Game 62 simulation. Here’s what EA Sports College Football 25 predicts about the game.

    • Biggest UT Win: 44-20
    • Georgia’s Biggest Win: 47-0
    • Game with the highest score: 57-55, Georgia (OT)
    • Low score game: 27-7, Georgia

    • The biggest surprise: This week featured eight games in which one or both teams topped 700 total yards. But in Game 79, Georgia became the first team to surpass 800 total yards in our simulations with a total of 829. Overall, both teams produced plenty of offense.
    • The most impressive plays: Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava threw to wide receiver Chris Brazzell II for an 87-yard touchdown in Game 8. Georgia quarterback Carson Beck threw to wide receiver Colbie Young for a 94-yard touchdown in Game 25.

    • Most Valuable Players: Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has won the most MVP awards with 68. Only one Tennessee player has received MVP: Quarterback Nico Iamaleava received 25 MVP awards during the simulations. Georgia players with at least one MVP: Wide receiver Dillon Bell, wide receiver Colbie Young, wide receiver Dominic Lovett and tight end Oscar Delp.

    Final thoughts on this week’s EA Sports College Football 25 simulations

    If these simulations are correct, then we’ll probably see the Volunteers lose, but there are some things a video game can’t predict. The play does not account for the Vols quarterback Nico Iamaleava may not play anymore in this game due to injury and doesn’t think the morale can be any different for Georgia after last week’s loss.
