in 1939 we finished the regular season undefeated, unscored upon and didnt claim a national title
Tennessee finished #2 that year.

No it's not.

The thing that stinks about that season for the Vols...UT was #1 from October 28th through November 18th...(the next to last game of the season). Tennessee beat Vanderbilt, and A&M beat Rice...but jumped UT in the polls.
UT finished the regular season #2 in the polls even thought they went unscored on the entire season. That was the last Division 1 team to do so.
