<h3>Tennessee looks to lock up spot in SEC title game</h3>

No. 19 Tennessee (8-3) at Kentucky (7-4) 1:30 pm EST

LEXINGTON, Kentucky (Ticker) -- If history is any indication,No. 19 Tennessee should have no problem securing a spot in theSoutheastern Conference title game when it visits Kentucky onSaturday.


Tennessee has won 22 straight games against the Wildcats, whichis now the longest active winning streak against one opponent inthe Football Championship Subdivision.


Earlier this season, Navy snapped a 43-game losing streakagainst Notre Dame, which had been an NCAA record for mostconsecutive defeats against the same team.


Tennessee (8-3, 5-2 SEC East) has not lost to Kentucky since a17-12 setback in Knoxville in 1984.


Reaching the title game for the first time since 2004 would beextra satisfying for Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer, who hascome under criticism this season.


Tennessee is one-half game behind Georgia in the East, but wouldwin a tiebreaker based on its 35-14 win over the Bulldogs onOctober 6.


Top-ranked Louisiana State will represent the SEC West in theconference title game to be played in Atlanta next week.

Last week, the Volunteers nearly lost control of their own fatebefore rallying for a 25-24 win over Vanderbilt. Tennesseeerased a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit.


While they have dominated the all-time series against theWildcats, the Volunteers should expect a much tougher test thistime around.


Kentucky (7-4, 3-4 East) already is headed to bowls inback-to-back years for the first time since the 1998 and 1999seasons.


Also, the Wildcats already own one huge win at home this season,a triple-overtime upset of then-No. 1 LSU on October 13.

However, Kentucky has lost three of its last four games,including last week's 24-13 setback at Georgia.
