You need to study up :rotf: :rotf:
Already did. The NCAA, which governs the sport, says the Vols have 2 national championships. The complete list from 1869 to 2013 is right here:

Delusional Vol fans claim 6. The 4 other national championships that the Vols claim actually belong to:
1938: TCU
1940: Minnesota
1950: Oklahoma
1967: USC
In 1951, the Vols were awarded the national championship by the AP and UPI before the bowl games were played. They then played in the Sugar Bowl and got whipped by the undefeated Maryland Terrapins 28-13. So, the 1951 national championship is tainted.
If we are counting real national championships, then 1951 and 1998 are it for the Vols, and 1951 is tainted.
