Please go back and re-read my posts. I have said, quite clearly, that Tennessee was bigger, stronger, more athletic and deeper. But that Tulane offense was pretty unstoppable, despite the weak schedule. It would have put points on the board vs Tennessee and would have had a chance to beat...

I'm being a homer? All I have suggested is that Tulane would have had a chance to win a game on a neutral field and its a shame that they weren't given that shot. Thanks anyway.

Unfortunately, this isn't going anywhere. I would have liked to have a good chat about the topic but there's too much blind-homerism here to make this worthwhile. No one is suggesting that Tennessee didn't have a good team in 1998 but lets be real. Tulane 98 was a top 10 team with a...

At no point did I express that as anything other than my opinion.

You cannot take opinions and assert them as fact. Maybe you are right, but maybe you are wrong and I am quite certain that the Oklahoma fans were saying the same thing about Boise State. Teams don't score 538 points because of a schedule. You have to be pretty good.

The 2 games where Tulane scored less than 30 were versus SOurthern Miss and Louisville and Tulane could not call running plays in those games because King had his left hand in a cast. He actually came out on any running plays that required a handoff. They still scored points against good...

And herein lies the problem. Again, Tulane had a historically good offense and its not realistic to be 100% sure that Tenn would have been able to shut it down. Again, the point is that the BCS robbed everyone of what would have been a great matchup.

Again, Tulane ended the year #7 AP, and Utah, TCU and Boise State have all proven that good teams can come from weaker conferences. That no one believes the #7 team in the country had a chance to win a bowl game shows that I am not the one being unrealistic.

Well please try, otherwise posting seems like a waste of time.

That's great, and I agree completely. The SEC is, without a doubt, the best conference in the country and the rosters have, top to bottom, more talent. That doesn't mean that other teams can't be good or can't beat teams in any game. You can't have a very good conversation about college...

No, that's not at all what I said. I said that BYU (which finished #5 nationally in defense in 98) and Southern Miss had good defenses, which in no way means that Tennessee had a bad defense. It was good, but I think that Southern Miss 98 was as good or better, and on second thought believe that...

Can't find the link, but as I recall I believe oddsmakers said that Tulane would have been a 7 point underdog on a neutral field, which was the same point spread as Boise St/Oklahoma

1) I think you are selling RR pretty short. Sure White/Slaton were a good combo, but RR was at WVU for 7 years and had a 69% win percentage there. That is not "above average" and that Alabama and Michigan both offered him jobs suggests that he carries plenty of weight in coaching circles. 2)...

King has more NFL career wins than those guys combined.

Excellent, but to be fair no Tennessee QB other than Peyton Manning has had a better NFL career than King.
