Here’s the argument:
Currently ranked
8-3 vs zero conference wins
More recent division title
More recent top 10 finish
More recent top 5 finish
Winning record over last 10 years

The big 3 in the east is now Uga Florida and sc

Tennessee is candy level now.

In all seriousness, South Carolina is currently a much better program than Tennessee and I don't see that changing soon. We all know Florida will eventually come back, but I don't see that for Tennessee. So yes, I would put South Carolina over Tennessee as a top 3 program in the East.

No because Mizzou has 2 more recent Division titles than us.

Anomalies

We are the only team in the history of college football to go 11-2 3 straight years and win zero division titles

Most gamecock thing ever.

But that stretch was still more dominant than mizzou backdooring into atl

2014 they beat us.

They finished 7-1 in the division.

2013 we beat them, but then we lost. They only lost one game.


Couldn't you say we did that in 2010? We had a 5-3 division record.

Aye, and LSU was the first two-loss club to win a natty. They still get the trophy, and we have nothing.

USC is in better shape than UTk, but Mizzou is a wild card every season. You literally don't know what they bring to the table week to week, let alone year to year. I'd say that there isn't a big three in the East anymore. But UGA, UF, Mizzou, and USC are all threats to win it every year.

Lmao what a hilarious game that was.


SC comes into Neyland during one of their best seasons ever, only to lose to that band of slaw led by Lyle Allen Jones, who then attempts to copy Neyland by kneeling

Honestly though, what makes you think that Tennessee will one day be good again? I doubt that y'all will ever win the East again. Your expectations are too great, you won't give a coach enough time, and you aren't exactly a recruiting hotbed of a state. Unless Peyton Manning has a son that we don't know about, y'all are screwed. Y'all are the new Vanderbilt of the SEC minus the academic prestige.

Draw a 3 hour circle around Knoxville and there is plenty of talent...Even butch Jones was able to pull in a top 5 class

When was your last SEC title? Natty?

Newsflash, no one has done shite lately but Bama. Division titles and BCS wins over Hawaii are cool but they dont mean anything. That #1 ranking was nice for you though...for a week

I think at this point everyone has surpassed us. Our whole program boosters, administration, etc are fricking morons.
