Ah yes because college football has famously only existed since in the BCS era. Never understood LSU fascination with this argument. They have a good overall history that shouldnt be discounted

Historically, I’d have said UT without doing the deep dive you did. More recently, LSU has been the more relevant program.

it's the only era that matters to what's happening today. Not games played in 1902.

This year has shown how flawed the AP system was. LSU has more success in the modern era.

Yeah, but most of the Vols clout came from before the end of WW2.

It just shows that we've had much more fun watching our team than you guys have had watching yours. Unless you sit around watching old games your grandpa had on VHS.

All time Tenner has a slight edge
Since WWI it is a push
This century LSU way ahead.
I’m cool with that.
