Although I still agree that it is 1. Bama and 2. UT, I will say that UT is losing ground quickly to that next tier of LSU, Florida, Auburn and Georgia. Particularly Florida with it's 90s and 00s runs and LSU with it's 00s run. It has been 15 years since Tennessee won a conference championship. 4 straight losing seasons. About .500 over the last 10 years, etc. This is starting to become a big drag on UT's historical ranking, not just a blip.

All of this while Florida and LSU have won multiple conference and national championships, Auburn has won multiple conference championships and a national champsionship, and even Georgia (who has also been seen as underachieving) has won multiple conference championships since UT.

15 years ago, UT had a solid hold on number 2 in most categories, including number of SEC titles. Georgia is now within 1 SEC title of UT. LSU is now within 2.

Basically, I still believe UT is number 2 but it is just barely at this point and the current trajectory says one or more teams will pass UT within a few short years.

Pages of other posters and facts disagree.

Actually most LSU fans would have LSU 3rd behind Tennessee simply because of all-time wins, a standard I happen to agree with.

If you go by all-time victories, it would be:
bama, Tennessee, Georgia, and LSU, with the latter two in a virtual dead heat.

My all-time Top Twelve:

Michigan
Notre Dame
Oklahoma
Ohio State
Texas
bama
Nebraska
USC
Tennessee
Penn State
Georgia
LSU is #12.

Any "All-time" list that has Florida ahead of LSU is downright humorous.
LSU was #12 in NCAA all-time victories.........
"""""""""""""""""B E F O R E """"""""""""""""
Saban even left Michigan State, and we are in a virtual dead heat with Georgia for #11 now.
