The Third Saturday in October is an American college football rivalry game played annually by the Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama and the Volunteers of the University of Tennessee. The respective campuses are located approximately 310 miles (500 km) apart. It is known as the Third Saturday in October because the game was traditionally played at such date prior to the 1992 football season, when the Southeastern Conference (SEC) split into its East and West divisions. From 1995 to 2024, it has only been scheduled on that date 9 times. Alabama leads the series 59–40–8. At 40 wins, Tennessee has more victories over Alabama than any other program in college football. Likewise, at 59 wins, Alabama has more victories over Tennessee than any other program in college football.
