Second tier? I'm trying to think of a single metric, athletic, academic, or otherwise, where OSU could conceivably come in second to Tennessee even in the most fevered mind. All I can come up with is wintertime temperatures.

So, I guess that his standard is just a team's record in national championship games.
Since 1998, Tennessee is 1-0 in national championship games.
Since 1998, Ohio State is 2-3 in national championship games.

I guess that is "failing miserably".
Maybe go back to 1979, and Ohio State is 2-4. Tennessee is 1-0.

How is Tennessee against the "Big 10 losers"? (I seriously don't know.)
Since 1979, they're 1-0 against Ohio State, 1-0 against *ichigan, 0-0 against Sparty, 0-3 against Penn State, 1-2 against Maryland, 3-0 against Rutgers, 2-0 against Indiana, 0-2 against Purdue, 2-0 against Northwestern, 0-0 against Illinois, 1-0 against Minnesota, 1-0 against Wisconsin, 2-1 against Iowa, 1-2 against Nebraska. Tennessee is 15-10 (0.600) against the "Big 10 losers" since 1979.
Since 1979, Ohio State has gone 8-0, 7-1, 6-2, 7-1, 6-3, 7-2, 5-3, 7-1, 4-4, 2-5-1, 6-2, 5-2-1, 5-3, 5-2-1, 6-1-1, 6-2, 7-1, 7-1, 6-2, 7-1, 3-5, 5-3, 5-3, 8-0, 6-2, 4-4, 7-1, 8-0, 7-1, 7-1, 7-1, 7-1, 3-5, 8-0, 8-0, 8-0, 7-1, 8-1, 8-1, 8-1, 9-0, 6-0, and 8-1. If I did this right, Ohio State is 274-71-4 (0.785) against the "Big 10 losers" since 1979.

Bravo on the thread title change
:rofl:

I was actually going to recommend changing it, but whoever did this came up with a better one that what I was going to suggest.

My main reason wasn't because of recent events, but because Tennessee really didn't "know" how to do NIL before it was legal. That's more of a Auburn/Bama type of thing.

Tennessee paid players, but I wouldn't say they "knew" how to do it, because they got caught handing these out:
