I'm not trying to get in a pissing contest over being #2. But if you take all time, its us and not close.
#2 in Wins
#2 in Win PCT
#2 (T) in national Champs
#2 in Conference Championships
#2 (T) in Bowl games
#2 in All Americans
#1 in Draft picks
#1 in 1st round draft picks
#4 Weeks in AP poll
#4 in Weeks @ #1 in AP Poll
More wins against Bama than anyone else

It's close. And some of your criteria means nothing. Draft picks, All-Americans, etc. don't prove a thing.

Let's examine those shall we?
You claim 6 national championships (1938, 1940, 1950, 1951, 1967, and 1998). All six are championships you claim within the Poll Era. But only two of them were awarded by major wire services (1951 and 1998). And as much as people criticize Alabama for claiming 1964 and 1973, despite losing our bowl game, Tennessee claims 1951 despite losing their bowl game to Maryland.
When you get right down to it, you only have two national championships - which puts you tied with Auburn and Georgia and behind Florida and LSU.
