  • The 1998 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee in the 1998 college football season. Tennessee entered the 1998 season coming off an 11-2 record (7-1 SEC) in 1997. The Volunteers were given a preseason ranking of #10 in the AP Poll. The Vols won their sixth national title after defeating Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl. The 1999 Fiesta Bowl was the first BCS National Championship Game. The '98 Vols beat eight bowl teams, including six January Bowl teams, four top ten teams and three BCS bowl-bound teams. Thus, the 1998 Tennessee Volunteers are ranked as the #2 college football team of all time by the Billingsley Report computer ratings. Tennessee was expected to have a slight fall off after their conference championship the previous season. They had lost QB Peyton Manning, WR Marcus Nash and LB Leonard Little to the NFL. Manning had been the first pick overall in the 1998 NFL Draft. They were also coming off of a difficult 42-17 loss to Nebraska in the Orange Bowl, and were in the midst of a 5 game losing streak to their rivals the Florida Gators. Instead of having a fall off though, they ended their campaign in Tempe, undefeated, becoming only the fourth school in modern college football history to complete a 13-0 season (BYU 13-0 1984, Alabama 13-0 1992, Nebraska 13-0 1971, 1994 & 1997 - in 1894 Yale went 16-0 after going 13-0 in 1888, 1891 & 1892, while the University of Penn went 14-0 in 1895 and 15-0 in 1897).
