Tennessee was screwed outright for the 1939 title.
The 1939 Vols were also the last team in NCAA history to go undefeated, untied, and unscored upon in the regular season. But finish the regular season at #2. 1938 and 1940 UT was national champions. Don’t make sense how your the champs in 1938 and possibly the greatest defensive team ever doesn’t lose or give up a point does it win it again.

Tennessee didn’t play the four best teams in the SEC that year in Tulane, Miss St, Ole Miss, and Georgia Tech and went on to get wrecked by USC in their bowl. Not legit.

1998 is the only one that I consider legitimate for the Vols.
