I just don't think you can honestly lump 1946 in with those others when UT went 5 consecutive seasons in the middle with zero conference titles including a season they didn't even field a team. This is just not at all the same.



I mean, it is the same, but you want to create subjective guidelines. In 1943, over half the conference didn't field a team, so I don't see how that year can be included for anything fairly. The bottom line is that over 8 seasons, Tennessee won 4 SEC titles and had the second-highest winning percentage of the SEC era you listed. It's just you not wanting to include them because it is objectively better than one of the teams you listed. Whatever, you have been making subjective lists for years, with little reasoning for the guidelines you implement

It's not the same. If you start allowing teams to take 5-year gaps between conference titles, this entire list likely doubles. That's the whole point.

I literally spelled out the guidelines at the very beginning. What fits the criteria got listed.

Sorry you don't like the fact your team didn't have a period that made the cut, but when you go 5 consecutive seasons without a title I think it's a bit much to consider that team "King".

If you want to water it down, come up with your own list.

2. UGA
3. UF
4. LSU
5. Aub
6. Vols
7. Ole Miss I guess?

So if Tennessee had won in 1938, 1940, 1943 (when over half the conference didnt play), and 1946 they would make the cut lol. Thats retarded

Whatever anyone would take Neylands run of dominance over Auburns 1910s disputed conference titles where they didnt even numerically win the conference lol

We didnt even play 5 consecutive seasons cause of the war. If only Neyland had not decided to go be a general and serve his country so he could be called “King” of this conference by a twink in Birmingham despite not having a losing record to a single SEC team

And then six months later....






No, the irony is you whining about subjective criteria. Let's check into some of your criteria when comparing coaches:

quote:

Top 10 Finishes
Heupel 2 > Kiffin 1

Playoff Appearances
Heupel 1 > Kiffin 0

Weeks Ranked
Heupel 50 = Kiffin 50

First 5 Years
Heupel 45 Wins > Kiffin 44 Wins

First Round Draft Picks
Heupel at least 3 > Kiffin 2

Top 10 Wins
Heupel 3 = Kiffin 3

Ranked Wins
Heupel 11 > Kiffin 8

Wins in Death Valley
Heupel 1 > Kiffin 0

Wins against Bama
Heupel 2 > Kiffin 0

Wins against UGA
Heupel 0 < Kiffin 1

Highest CFP Ranking
Heupel #1 > Kiffin not number 1



You, ma'am, are a massive hypocrite.

So much name-calling, but then they do say a hit dog will holler. And you're hollering extremely loud.

You aren't going to be taken seriously if you don't include Ala's Rose Bowl wins in the 20's/30's. It was a big deal.
