The top-ranked, top-seeded Tennessee Volunteers (57-12) can book their ticket to the 2024 College World Series final with a win on Wednesday afternoon against the Florida State Seminoles (49-16), who kept their season alive with a 9-5 victory over North Carolina on Tuesday.
The Seminoles, who are now 1-2 in the double-elimination bracket, have to win two in a row to knock out Tennessee, which is 2-0 thanks to a thrilling 12-11 comeback win over FSU on Friday and a 6-1 win over UNC on Sunday.
The Volunteers, who have won 11 of their last 12 games, head into Wednesday’s matchup as a sizable favorite in the Tennessee vs Florida State odds.

The first matchup between these teams on Friday was one for the ages. Tennessee built a 4-1 lead after two innings only two see FSU take a 9-4 lead by the end of four. Tennessee showed its championship mettle late in the game, overcoming an 11-7 deficit with one in the eighth and four in the bottom of the ninth (on three singles and a sac fly).
Tennessee is currently the -130 favorite to win the national championship, which would be its first in program history. (Their previous best finish was runner-up in 1951.) Florida State’s odds improved from +2200 to +1000 after they knocked out UNC on Tuesday. The Noles have finished runner-up three times (1970, 1986, 1999) but have also never claimed the national title.
Tennessee vs Florida State Starting Pitchers
Tennessee rolls with its number-two starter on Wednesday, 6’2 lefty Zander Sechrist.
Sechrist’s numbers have dipped slightly compared to last season, when he had a lights-out 2.05 ERA, but his ERA remains a rock-solid 3.26, and he more than doubled his innings pitched from last year (62.2 vs 30.0). He was excellent in his last start, giving up just one run on six hits and no walks over 6.1 innings in a must-win game against Evansville in the Super Regional.
Florida State hasn’t announced its starter, but their number-one, Jamie Arnold, hasn’t pitched since the tournament-opening loss to Tennessee, when he allowed four runs on eight hits and four walks over 5.0 innings.
On the whole, Arnold has been exceptional this season, with a 2.98 ERA and 1.098 while eating a massive 105.2 innings for the Noles.

Tennessee vs Florida State Prediction
Tennessee’s march to the College World Series finals feels inevitable, and having Sechrist on the mound should give Vols faithful a lot of confidence. When FSU tagged Tennessee for 11 runs in the tournament opener, neither of the Volunteers top-two starters were available.
The way Tennessee battered Arnold, FSU’s top starter, on Friday is a microcosm of their season: it really doesn’t matter who the opponents has on the mound, the Volunteers’ electric offense can put up runs in a hurry. Arnold finished his five-inning outing with a 2.40 WHIP.
UT vs FSU picks: Tennessee moneyline (-190)
