Football has changed. When Tennessee was good they recruited nationally because there wasn’t enough division 1 talent in Tennessee . Nebraska was the same way . Back in their hey day , Nebraska recruited Texas heavily and even stole players from Louisiana. . Now ... a kid doesn’t have to go to Nebraska to play on tv. Same thing with Tennessee ... every body is on tv. What high school kid alive today even remembers Tennessee being worth a crap . And every year it gets further away from 1998. I wish I was wrong. I hate Alabama. I want y’all to win. But while my heart pulls for y’all to beat the gumps , the truth is it will probably be a long time before that happens again

Nebraska also was able to get guys qualified in the Big 8 that the Big 12 would not let them qualify and the Big 10 sure as hell isn't.
Talent in Tennessee is getting better with the growth of Nashville. Of course, Tennessee has been irrelevant for most of the recruits lives to this point so they still have to work to get those guys to come.
And it's important because the two teams have played yearly since 1928, save for 1943 due to WW2. The only team Alabama has played more often is Mississippi State.
