What in the living hell are you talking about?!?!?Even in 1998, some would still say Tennessee should not have been in that game.
Tennessee was 12-0 and a unanimous #1 in both polls in the week after the conference championship games were played, which saw Kansas State lose to Texas A&M and also, UCLA lose to Miami. Ohio State had already lost at home in early November to Michigan State. Florida State had lost early in the season to North Carolina State. Florida had lost twice, including to Tennessee. NOBODY was saying that Tennessee did not belong in the 1998 BCS Championship Game. That is ridiculous!
Tennessee was the only undefeated team left from a major conference after the conference championship weekend. Tulane was the only other undefeated team in major college football, but they had not beaten a ranked opponent in 1998. Tennessee had beaten Syracuse on the road, Florida, Georgia on the road, and Arkansas who were all ranked after the conference championship games were played in December of 1998.
This is one of the most stupid, ignorant posts I have ever read on VolNation ..... in ANY forum. Get an f'ing clue!!!!!
