I looked at the NCAA list and the Vols are on it a total of two times.
That has nothing to do with my point. My point is pre-1998 National Championships were a joke. Most years several teams claimed them and even more could have claimed them. And most could be disputed. Awarding the NC before the bowls? Come on.
No, they were not all a joke. National championships were being awarded after the bowls well before 1998, and there were also many clear-cut national champions prior to 1998.
But, you're right. There are some that are a joke. A good example would be the Vols claiming the 1967 national championship, as I explained earlier in the thread.
Using Vol math, Notre Dame has 22 national championships and Alabama has 19.
