Fair point. Now which direction are the schools going in? Is Tennessee more likely to put up a string of top 5 finishes or is Georgia
I get where you're trying to go and in the last twenty years , georgia definitely has been trending in a better direction than Tennessee but at this point with NIL who even knows, texas tech is a great team now

Trying to go? In the last 5 years we have won two National Championships.

Do you believe in the last 5 years Tennessee is trending upward, or downward?

Texas Tech finished 7th in the country last year. Good, but not great.
Tennessee finished 9th in 2024 and unranked in 2025.

Do you think theyre worse now than during the Dooley, jones years? I mean they left themselves lots of room to trend upwards but they are.

Well, if you are talking about the last 24 seasons, then yes
UGA just caught and surpassed TN in this metric in 2021

Now which direction are the schools going in
Given that TN has had two top 10 finishes in the last 4 years I think we are trending up from where we had been.

All that is relative. If you had asked anyone in college football this question any year in history before 2010 the answer was easily TN. Now the answer is UGA. If Kirby Smart left and went to the NFL right now, my answer would be Tennessee. Sports are cyclical and there was a time when TN was the answer and now it’s UGA. Just enjoy the success yall are having now because it wont always be there. I know in the 90s I thought TN would always be a team at the top of the sport and within 15 years it fell apart. Dont take it for granted

How many top 5 finishes would Oklahoma have if they were always in the SEC?

That's one way of looking at it.

The last time Tennessee finished ranked in the top 5 was 2001. That was 24 seasons ago.
