re: Other than the 1998 anomaly, what has Tennessee accomplished

I wouldn't call the 1998 NC an anomaly for Tennessee. Fulmer was in his 5th full year and had recruited very well with top 10 finishes from 2005 through 2007. Florida was one of the top 5 programs throughout that period as well, which happened to sit in the same division. Let me ask you a question. Do you call the 1992 Bama team an anomaly since it was the only NC from 1979 to 2009 for Bama?
