No other team can be "better" than a team that was not scored on.


They can when that same team loses their Bowl game while the other team won theirs.

No, you just aren't paying attention. A team that goes undefeated and wins their Bowl game is better than a team that goes undefeated and loses their Bowl game.

If you look down on the ticker below you will see that was a while back. I’m sure they’ve won something since then

Why did undefeated, untied, and unscored on Tennessee have to travel to California to play the No. 3 team in country, when Texas 8&4 got to play a lesser ranked team closer to home?

Sounds like Texas A&M refused to travel to Cali, Tennessee was offered TAMU's place, and TAMU got to play the 3rd best team in the SEC for their "national title".


The Sugar Bowl was literally at Tulane's home stadium. It wasn't like A&M chose an easy option.

So 1939 isn't even real. Aggy's been living a lie for nearly 100 years.

Why was Tennessee avoiding playing Tulane and Georgia Tech? Three way tie for the conference, pathetic

It’s a good thing the NCAA doesn’t care what the OP thinks and recognizes it as our title.

And Tennessee lost their bowl game, we won. Dumb argument.

They finished the regular season No. 1 in the AP Poll, and Tennessee was No. 2. Both teams were 10-0 in the regular season.

Since those two teams didn't face off in the bowl game, we will never know who was the better team.

So, to be clear, Texas 8&4 has NO legit football titles.

Fun Note: The 1939 Vols were also the last team in NCAA history to go undefeated, untied, and unscored upon in the regular season.


God bless this bird. God bless him.

Interesting thread.

Looking back at some stats, Tennessee had a larger average margin of victory, scored more points per game, had a tougher schedule, and had more All Americans than tamu in 1939.

Tennessee was also coached by a CFB hall of famer. Tamu on the other hand, was coach by noted Nazi sympathizer, Homer Norton.

Tennessee is clearly the rightful national champion. Congrats Vols.
