re: It been 84 years

My nephew literally moved to Long Beach last week just in time for the storm and a simultaneous earthquake. He said he was expecting clouds of locusts next.

Some claim 6.

We should claim 1939 for sure. The Vols went 10-0 and outscored their opponents 212-0 that year in the regular season. It’s absurd they finish #2 in the poll.

Looks like Bammer better get ready to goive up a few if that is the case.

Which ones? I saw two.

ETA

Just looked at them and saw 1964 and 1973 had losses in their Bowl game and a tie in 1926, to go along with 1941 and 1965.

Either way they would still have a whole lot more than Georgia.

What other rare things happened in 1939?

In November of that year, the #1 team in the country beat their conference opponent 13-0 and had outscored their opponents 186-0 at that point, but still fell to #2 in the polls. The team that jumped them had just beaten a team that would finish the season 6-3-1 by the score of 6-2 the week prior.

Uh what? There was ONE poll before WW2, and it was the AP. Then the Helms Athletic "Foundation" (started by a bakery owner and his buddies in Los Angeles) in the early 40s.

You just proved my point. The AP was the first poll and the only poll before WW2.

Those aren't polls...

My God child, read before posting.

No, some of them aren't/weren't.

LOL...you are not very good at research then. You are wrong.
