"Right now". They've had a series of bad HC's but the potential is there.

Tennessee is tied with UGa for the second most championships with 13. That is with not having won one since 1998. At their very best they are at the top of the conference.
Fun fact: GT would still be 8th in # of conference championships with 5.

Rome "has the potential" to be one of "the top" military powers. After all, they were number one for hundreds of years and won a ton of wars.
The best coach Tennessee could get was a dude whose teams have posted a worse record every year than they did the year before. Inherited undefeated and top-10 ranking, and in three years turned them into unranked and 6-4. No Gruden. No Franklin. No Stoops. Friggin' Heupel. That should tell you how much folks who are in the business to know, think about their potential.
Not just "right now" but for literally decades . . . Bama, LSU, UGA, UF, Auburn all CLEARLY ahead of the Vols. Not debatable. I see no reason to expect that to change, It's a close case with Texas A&M. "Right now" Texas A&M is ahead, but that could change. Ol' Miss and MSU are ahead of Tennessee right now, too, but that is definitely subject to change.

GT still belongs in the SEC, IMO. FSU belongs in the SEC, too. USCe, Texas A&M and especially Missouri do not.
