FWIW, 1938 is counted by sports illustrated and ESPN as a consensus title. They have credited UT with 3 consensus titles even when the school claims 6, so it's not just copying the schools claim.
Contrary to the OP, 7 national selectors existed in 1938. 6 of them selected Tennessee. AP was the exception. It was in its third year.
It's a similar situation to UGA in 1942.
It's basically considered a consensus title.
OP generally does a terrible job of characterizing what happened in those seasons as well.

IDGAF what the Dunkell Index says. You want to throw in the Knoxville Washeteria Owner's Association Poll while you're at it? One of those clowns picked LSU as 2011 National Champs. Should we claim that?
There are 2 Polls pre-BCS, the AP and UPI/Coaches. Everything else GTFO.
