and a case could be made for no. 1

1995 bummer
1998 gators
1998 Fiesta

A case can be made for them all

But that 15 years...man was this 😋

In games I have attended, it's in the top 2, probably #1

I’d rank ‘98 Arky very high as well as the Miracle in South Bend and that beautiful thrashing of the Canes in the Sugar

Considering the streak, the opponent and where we've been, this is definitely in the top five. There is still more of the season to play and tough opponents ahead, but like I said earlier, I think this is a turning point.

In terms of importance, the '98 Fiesta Bowl obviously has to be No. 1 of all-time. At the very least, this was the biggest win in Neyland Stadium since Arkansas in '98.

It's definitely top 5

On the least of sweetest, most satisfying wins.  No. 1, to this Vol.  Hands down, even better than breaking the UF streak in 1998 and the bammer streak in 1995.

Right now,  it sure feels like #1 to me.   

But yeah,  right up there with '98.

It's just, considering the past 20 years... both how inept we've been and how stupidly dominant Alabama has been...  it just doesn't get much better.
