VOLS pretty easily imo

Lol at a lot of those Tennessee NC claims. Auburn has much better claims with 1983 and 2004. UT was easily the #2 program all time in the SEC in 2007, since then they've fallen behind UGA, LSU, Auburn and even Florida imo

If you want to go all the way back to the leather helmet days it’s Tennessee
The last 40 years or so it’s AU

Tennessee. Next stupid question.

I'd say they are pretty close, might give Tennessee advantage because of their history, but Auburn has been better lately.

Because Charles Woodson was the more valuable player to his team (and the better overall player)
Woodson led his team to a National Championship
Peyton left and Tennessee got better and won a National Championship without him

Tennessee's national championship claims are even worse than the ones you scold Alabama for.
1938 - TCU was the AP national champion that year. Tennessee finished the season undefeated but was not awarded a national title by THE major selector of the time.
1940 - Minnesota won the AP national title and finished the season undefeated and untied. Tennessee had one loss.
1950 - Oklahoma won the AP and Coaches poll national championship this year, before losing the Sugar Bowl to Bear Bryant's Kentucky team. Tennessee also had one loss, however.
1951 - A legitimate national championship claim as they won both the AP and the Coaches poll titles.
1967 - This is worse than Alabama's 1941 title claim. Tennessee finished the season with two losses while USC swept every single legitimate national championship bestower (AP, Coaches, FWAA, and NFF just to name a few). Why is it worse? Because the AP/Coaches had been firmly established by this year. At least in 1941 the AP was in its infancy and the Coaches Poll had yet to exist.
1998 - Legitimate national championship claim. They finished the season undefeated and won the BCS title against #2 Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Internet user BowlJackson should stick to watching young men in leotards put each other in the hucklebuck instead of posting about football imo

Oklahoma lost to Kentucky.
Guess who beat Kentucky.

Tennessee was selected by a majority of polls and selectors as the national champions with 24 crowning the Vols. Heisman Trophy winner Davey O'Brien and his undefeated TCU Horned Frogs were second with 14.
That VOLS squad gave up 16 points on the season. Only 3 teams scored on them.
You are so so dumb lol

Because Peyton always choked in big games. Continued for years in the NFL until he finally matched up with a hapless Bears team led by Rex Grossman. He was barely a game manager in the 2nd super bowl.

Tennessee bigly

Auburn is perceived by most CFB Fans to be historically better than Tenn, I'm basing things on a post 1960 or post 1970 perspective which is what most people consider the Modern Era for CFB
After Tee Martin's MNC , Tenn has gone thru a long dry run

I’m 28 and in my lifetime it’s not close. Auburn by a country mile.
Tennessee has now been irrelevant for 2 decades. I had no clue they had 6 national titles though. That’s surprising

It’s Auburn and it’s not close.
Auburn could claim many more national championships if they wanted.

The same Tennessee team that lost to a Mississippi State team that finished the season with a losing record. Which is why had the AP/UPI waited until AFTER the post-season to award their champion, the trophy would still have not gone to Tennessee. It would have gone to Bear Bryant and Kentucky.

How many of those are retroactive?

Dumb for discounting national titles awarded by anything other than major polls during the Poll Era? Yeah. That's not how this works, bruh. It's why Tennessee's 1938 and 1950 claims are just as bad as our 1941 claim. Any title not awarded by the AP/UPI from 1936 onward is not legitimate.

Vols based on those numbers. Last 20 years, Aub. Watch out with Pruitt though.

Sketchy counting, don't believe it. Tennessee was inarguably the #2 program in the SEC before like 2005 though. In fact, I think you could make the case they were equals with Bama before about 1970

Tennessee all time and it isn't close. Auburn has been better since 2000 though.
