Last time UT and Bama were top 15 together?

[Gcrop]

When is the last time that both teams were of the elite teams in football?

Seems either both or one of us has been down for the last few years come late October.

2005 - both were ranked, although Tennessee was probably in the 20s rather than the top 15.

I don't know about 2002. But I bet we were both top 15 in 1999.

1996 they were #7 and we were #6.........

IM not really sure whats been being said on "The Board" lately and im not even really sure who some of the new guys are. But I have an inclination that we roll past roll tide. It will be a HUGE upset. How do we do it you ask? Well, I think we will play fundamental football and force bama out of their rhythm. We do this and we win easy as 1,2,3.

Even 2005 doesn't compare to 1990's 9-6 loss.

That might have been the toughest football game to watch in Vol modern history.
