Your wrong. By your metrics you just used to make a case for 1995 Nebraska I will use the same concept snd say the 1951 Vols team is the greatest ever. That 1951 Vols team did not give up a single point in the regular season.

14-0 vs NC State
40-0 vs Sewanee
28-0 vs Chattanooga
21-0 vs Alabama
17-0 vs Mercer
20-0 vs LSU
34-0 vs Citadel
13-0 vs Vandy
19-0 vs Kentucky
7-0 vs Auburn

Safe to say this is a record that is untouchable.

The 1938 Vols team did not give up a single point in the regular season.

There is a reason that Bear Bryant called Neyland the greatest coach ever.

That isn't the 1951 results. I don't know where you got it from but that isn't 1951.

Tennessee lost in the Sugar Bowl to the equally undefeated and untied No. 3 Maryland Terrapins, but the postseason games were not taken into account by the major polls. Tennessee, Michigan State, and Illinois all claim national championships for 1951.
