Auburn has more Natties on anybody but Bama

Do you know what they have in common? They are both in the past.

That's true. One is just MUCH more recent.

Auburn also has the most delusional and saddest fanbase in CFB.

Tennesse doesn't have 6 natties lol

Umm...

Hrm..so you want to replace the program with 6 Natties with the one with 4...hrmmm

I admittedly did not realize that Tennessee only had 2 consensus national titles and 2 in the poll era. I thought they had a more substantial national title history than that until this thread made me look it up.

Looking at their other claimed ones, 1938 seems legitimate. They didn't play a difficult schedule but only allowed 16 points all year and beat #4 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. TCU generally gets the nod that year, but UT's resume that year stacks up pretty well against theirs all things considered.

1940 is real bunk. They only played one team that finished ranked (Boston College in the Sugar Bowl) and lost to them. They never cracked the top five in the AP rankings. They shouldn't count that.

1950 seems like a decent claim. They played well against a tough schedule (10 - 1 including wins against 3 teams in the final top 20 and 2 in the top ten) and the primary claimant Oklahoma's resume stacks up about like Tennessee's.

1951 is an absolute chaos year. There are like five teams that have a somewhat legitimate claim on this year. Maryland probably has the best claim (undefeated and beat Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl by 2 TD's). That is probably a half title at very best.

1967 is a terrible claim. The SEC wasn't very good that year, and while UT went undefeated and beat the only other ranked team in the conference in Alabama, they lost both games to out of conference teams that were any good (UCLA and Oklahoma). USC's (the primary claimant for that year) resume is much, much better than Tennessee's (also beat the only common opponent they had in UCLA, whom UT lost to). That claim is Alabama 1941-worthy.

No way is UT ahead of UGA. Counting made up BS championships doesnt compare to the ones UGA has. I dont think UT is in front of LSU but there is an argument there. LSU had passed UGA imo around 2015 but kirby has them back in front and ahead of UT imo.

Tennessee's ahead of Georgia because of the leather helmet era. If you look at the modern era of cfb, from about 1960 and forward, Georgia is signficantly ahead of Tennessee.
