re: Arkansas spawns the best of the best

When Neyland defeated Bryant teams they were Kentucky teams not Alabama. I'm not disputing your facts but they are somewhat misleading since Tennessee was already a power in the conference whereas Kentucky's prior 3 seasons before Bryant were 3-8-0, 3-6-0 and 3-6-1.
By Bryant's 4th season , Kentucky was invited to the Orange bowl , and year 5 Kentucky went 11-1-0 and defeated Oklahoma in the Sugar bowl snapping Oklahoma's 31 game unbeaten streak.
Speaking of Neyland after a 13-6 loss to Alabama, Neyland was quoted saying " You never know what a football player is made of until he plays against Alabama. "
