Your right. But it appears you don’t know how the rankings and the polls worked back then, so let me explain it to you.

Back then the bowls really wasn’t that important in the grand scheme of things. The final poll came after the last regular season games and before the bowls were even announced.

So it is true that the Vols went 10-0 and did not give up a point in the regular season, and yet finished #2 in the final poll after being national champions the year before.

Jesus, I just pointed out that UT team lost to USCw 14-0. I was not talking about the NC (which in my opinion UT deserved.)
