We've done it both ways and hands down like the I-77 way, no really big cities to get thru, except for Columbus (we live in the north end) and Charlotte - and the traffic in these doesn't compare to Cincinnati (crossing the river on I-75) and Atlanta (can be a nightmare at any time). Stop in Nelsonville, OH for an Egg McMuffin and a restroom break.
Charlotte, NC is about halfway, total drive about 15 hours, without a lot of stopping. We used to do it in one day when we were working, to save a vacation day. Our best time ever was 14.5 hours. At Jacksonville, you have a choice of I-10 to 301 or go further south on I-95 and thru the Ocala National Forest (nicer drive, but not at the end of a 15 hour trip if you do it in one day - more route changes to look for, but no bad speed trips as on 301 either).

I concur. But as has already been covered, this won't work given your stop in Griffin, GA. However, for anybody heading down to TV via central OH, this is a nice route. No need to contend with the traffic in Cincy, Knoxville, and Atlanta - just Charlotte.....and the bypass that goes around the west side of Charlotte is great and only adds a couple of miles to the trip. Less truck traffic via this route as well. A variety of options to get to to TV once you hit Jacksonville - gives you the opportunity to try different ways/change up the route occasionally.
