I say yes with LSU'S 3 national titles since 2003.
Not sure Georgia and Florida are not equal or past Tennessee. They both have winning records vs Tennessee.

My top 6
Alabama
LSU
Florida they lead TN 30-20
Tennessee
Georgia
Auburn

Tennessee thinks they are an elite program but have 1 title since they early 50's.

Nah, LSU still ranking behind in tradition behind those Texas powerhouses: Texas A&M, Rice, SMU, TCU, Prairie View, North Texas State and now even the school in San Antonio, whatever it is called -- named after a Jesus or Mary or one of those statues I see in church

Who thinks Tennessee is elite outside of being an elite dumpster fire?

And the aforementioned past thing...........

passed not past

And it’s very close but I think so:

Tennessee still has more wins than LSU (857-817), but only 1 more SEC title, and only 1 more consensus All American (40-39)

both schools have 24 top 10 finishes

LSU has:
More poll era National Titles
more weeks in the AP top 25
more weeks as the AP number 1
more Heisman winners
more overall national award winners
more first round picks
more overall NFL draft picks.

I would say that TN is the very last of the Big 6. Auburn has passed them. If UGA wins it all, they will as well. You could argue they already have.

Definitely. 3 BCS/CFP titles trumps an extra SEC title.

I don’t know if I would say “passed”.. absolutely on equal footing. I know it was before I was born but you cannot ignore Tennessee’s history as far back as the General. That’s what tradition is.

Most schools have experienced mediocre periods. LSU’s lasted from Billy Cannon to Nick Saban. Although, I don’t believe it would have had the unthinkable not happened with Bo Rein.

Tennessee is being put through this hell because of the way they treated Phil…

Glad to see Ole Miss & LSU care more than most VOLS fans about all this

I think of UT now having to grasp at straws like making teeshirts when a kid has been bullied at school or trying to convince themselves they belong in baseball. Or thinking they are back for wins over no one.

It is really sad what has happened to them.

No, because they haven't passed UGA, yet.

Tennessee’s a has been like Nebraska, USC, etc. They might have a decent season here and there, but they’ll never return to their former glory.

In my opinion, LSU has passed Tennessee. I think Florida has passed Tennessee too. Georgia does a great job of winning games but just not enough titles but they’ve had a much better 21st century.

Has LSU been better this century?




But the 20th century counts too and UT won 6. I love to pick at UT but tradition means all time. Has LSU passed UT yet?
