Here's the NCAA record book's thoughts on the 1940 national championship.
Tennessee was apparently chosen by Dunkel and Williamson.
One of the selectors is the "Williamson System", a mathematical system. It was syndicated in major newspapers.
Tennessee claims that title based of Dunkel and Williamson:
Only one problem with that selection in the NCAA book:
Oops...

Tennessee claiming questionable national titles from over a century ago when they were actually relevant in football…
What else is new?

From 1938-1951 was when the Vols won the bulk of their claimed titles and were really a force in college football.
Been pretty irrelevant ever since.
1938…1939
Tennessee is really the Aggy of the East

Oh man what a zinger! If only we could achieve sheer greatness like Georgia fans have my life would be whole.

Your Georgia education is showing. Over a century ago, a century is 100 years, it’s 2023, not post 2041.

Aye, there’s the rub. Tennessee went unbeaten, untied, and UNSCORED upon during the 1939 regular season. And before Dawg posters show up to lift their legs, the NC was awarded before the bowl game in those days. If memory serves, TCU ended up getting the championship that year. I’m guessing the 1940 championship was a makeup call for 1939.

A&M were national champs in 1939. It’s on their stadium.

Eh, anything before the BCS is fair game. They were all mythical.
