Or maybe your counting the women's basketball titles or Justin Gatlin's steroid times. But you can't be counting consensus football national titles because 6 just ain't true.

You must be counting the Knoxville News Sentinel Poll. According to the NCAA Tennessee was National Champs in 1951 and 1998. Caz Walker's Food Store's/Wampler's National Champs only counts in Tennessee. Look it up. If you want to count every team that claimed a title, UK claimed a share in 51 also.

 

National Champions: 1998, 1967, 1951, 1950, 1940,1938 (the only two in dispute are: 1967 and 1940

SEC Champions: 1998, 1997, 1990, 1989, 1985, 1969, 1967, 1956, 1951, 1946, 1940, 1939, 1938

The Big 11 sure is weak this year... :walk:

 

 

 

By the looks of it, yes they are.....2-4 isn't anything to brag about.

 

Isn't that pretty

Never, ever trust anything you get from wikipedia. Here's a link to the ncaa's website listing the national champs. As you'll see the only one NOT in dispute was 1998, even then Sagarin had Ohio St.

Wow, some of those recent ones on the list are hard to take seriously. That anyone would label Oklahoma #1 in 2003, or USC in 02, or OSU in 98......

Not to get into this argument, but I concur, wikipedia is not a reliable source as it is open ended and people can write whatever they want in there.

Wow, did that one take all the fight out of you? UT hasn't been the real champs nearly that much, I guess you noticed.

1998 - BCS champs.

1967 - Litkenhous. Give this one to USC

1965 - Sagarin. Give this to Oklahoma.

1951 - AP, Litkenhous, API, Williamson. UT keeps this one.

1950 - Billingsley, DeVold, Dunkel, Football Research, National Championship Foundation. UT keeps this one as well.

1940 - Dunkel, Williamson. Give this to Minnesota

1938 - Billingsley, Boand, Dunkel, Football Research, Houlgate, Litkenhous, Poling, Sagarin. UT keeps this one too.

 

So thats at least 4 you have to give to UT.

Take the fight out of me, come on. I am a UT fan living in KY, it will take more than that.

:laugh:

 

But, seriously until there is a play-off system noone can say who the real national champion is. Who won in 1997 Michigan or Nebraska, I bet they both claim it. Who won in 1993 Auburn, Florida St, Nebraska, Notre Dame; I bet they all claim it.

Honestly, My son is the UT fan. I really don't know how I raised a UT fan, but he has wanted to play football for UT since he was five years old. So if your son is a UT fan, than you are a UT fan. He will only be 11 once, so now I am a UT fan.
