UT's 67 claim might actually be worse than Bama's 41


Wrong. The polls were about as goofy as they had ever been in '67. Not only were they awarded before the bowls, they were awarded before Tennessee's final game. Of course the odds of 2-6-1 Vandy beating UT were slim.

IMO, if Tennessee's '38 is VERY legit and 1967 is worth examining further.

I've always thought Tennessee's 1938 title claim, Ole Miss' 1960 claim, Auburn's 1983 claim and Alabama's 1966 claim were real deals. Actually, if Alabama would swap '66 for '41 and '45 for '73, I'd get on the "14" train.
