3 best teams in the last 15 years? (Football)

[XtennesseeX]

Name your Top 3 Tennessee football teams in the last 15 years.



These are my Top 3 teams in No Order. :hi:


2001 UT Vols

Record: 11-2

Best Win: #3 Florida @ Florida

Games UT Lost: UGA (26-24) // LSU (31-20)



So much talent. In my opinion a better offense in 2001, than the 98' National Championship team. By far Clausen's best year. Great Wide Recievers (Stallworth, Washington, and Tight End Jason Witten). We had Travis Stephens who was small but speedy and awesome to watch against Florida. One major choke job against LSU in the SEC Title Game, that cost us a trip to the Rose Bowl to play in the National Championship game against Miami (Which has been considered the best team of all-time). Instead went on to beat Michigan 45-17.





1998 UT Vols (National Champions)

Record: 13-0

Best Win: #2 Florida State // National Championship

Games UT Lost: None! :dance2:


Great Team, tons of talent, alot of close calls, a team of Destiny. Great QB (Tee Martin) Great Runningbacks ( Travis Henry, Jamal Lewis). Standout WR (Peerless Price) Great Defense led by Al Wilson! That team had it all...




1995 UT Vols


Record: 11-1

Best Win: #6 Ohio State

Games UT Lost: #2 Florida (62-37)



Once again, another great team. Peyton Manning was brilliant that year but once again couldn't beat Florida. Well lets just say he probably could have if the D' shows up that game. With that said, alot of talent & this was the year UT became a dynasty of its own, as they took that year and turned it into a 45-5 run, 1 National Championship and 2 SEC Championships over the next 4 years.

Can't really argue too much with that list I don't think.

Though I am pretty sure Florida was #2 in 2001 and we were #4.

What an awesome sight it was to see all of the roses that were crammed in our faces walking up to the Swamp, only to see them smashed all over the ground after the game. :salute: "Pasadena Bound" signs strewn all over the parking lots. :dance2:

Not to mention it was SS's last home game in the Swamp. :birgits_giggle: One of my top 3 Vols football games ever that I attended.

the 96 vols were really good too. the mishap at Memphis tarnishes what would have been at least as good a season as 95.....97 also was very good, and based on talent along was equally as good as the previous two. the nebraska thrashing put a damper on that year though....

but i'd put 95, 96 or 97 up against the 01 team.......
