Tennessee could be an Independent school
and they would still have a Top 15 class because of the tradition and the recruiting hotbed they are smack dab in the middle of

So last year when we finished 14th (247 sports), that was just tradition and hotbed? Heupel and staff didn’t add much? In 2022 we finished 17th. How did the coaches make it worse than our natural spot? If we’re top 15 just based on tradition and hotbed location, you’d think good coaches would have us top 7-8 consistently.

You're trying waaaay to hard.

We also finished in the top 10 the year before.

Carry on

The only example of this is Georgia Tech, which was a southern powerhouse until they left the SEC. Look where they are now. Same would happen to UT or any other SEC school not named Alabama. Tech thought with their swagger and reputation that outside the SEC they would become the Notre Dame of the South in the 1960’s. Sorry, Bobby Dodd.
