Yeah, but I bet the 98 Vols still could have taken them.

They were lucky Ohio State had a bad quarter and lost. 1998 Buckeyes were probably the best team in the nation.

1998 Tennessee doesn't come close to being "lucky" or fortunate to win the 1998 title. That honor belongs to 1990 Colorado which had a lot of questionable instances work in their favor.
I think Tennessee in 1998 gets overlooked because Manning wasn't on the team.

97 Tennessee team got throttled in orange bowl by Nebraska. That was Peyton's last game at UT.

Only Arkansas was really a lucky win and the winner of the rematch still would have made the NCG.

As Napoleon pointed out the efficient create their own luck.
UF had something like -19 yards rushing and 5 turn overs against us in '98, three if which were caused by Al Wilson.

Very. Just goes to show you that the NC is not always the best team. It's often the most opportune team.

Nope.
I'd argue 2007 LSU got more luck than 98 Tennessee.

98 Tennessee had a shite ton of NFL talent. 2007 LSU would've been lucky to keep that game within single digits.
