Andrew Kerth Notre Dame leads USC 53 to 38 with five ties, but USC has had the longer runs of dominance. The rivalry from the Trojans’ side: the 1931 game that made it, the 1974 comeback, the eight straight under Carroll, and why there is no game until 2030.
USC has eight Heisman winners, more than any program: four tailbacks from 1965 to 1981, three quarterbacks and a running back under Pete Carroll, and Caleb Williams in 2022. Every winner, and the trophy that was given back and then restored.
Every USC head coach with records. Jones, McKay, Robinson and Carroll won ten of the program’s eleven national titles, the four coaches between Carroll and Riley all failed, and Riley enters year five needing a breakthrough.
Tennessee has 41 consensus All-Americans, from Neyland’s single wing stars to Eric Berry’s back to back unanimous seasons and Jalin Hyatt in 2022. The honours by era, the two time picks, and the defensive tradition behind them.
Tennessee has 392 NFL draft picks, 47 first rounders and two No. 1 overall selections in George Cafego and Peyton Manning. The 2026 class of five, the nine first rounders in five years under Fulmer, and the Heupel rebuild.
Every Tennessee bowl game with scores, from the 1939 Orange Bowl shutout of Oklahoma through the 2025 Music City Bowl. Fifty eight postseason games, the 1998 national title in the Fiesta Bowl, and the 1980s and 1990s streak.
Tennessee has 894 wins on the field and 883 by the NCAA’s count, with 422 losses and 53 ties. The record, the eleven wins the NCAA doesn’t count, the coaches who built it, and how close 900 is.
Neyland Stadium holds 101,915, down from a peak above 104,000, and once held 109,061. From a 3,200 seat grandstand in 1921 through sixteen expansions, the record crowds against Florida, and the loudest recorded moment in college football.
Tennessee has 13 SEC championships, third in conference history, and 16 conference titles in all. Every title by coach and year, Neyland’s five, the back to back of 1997 and 1998, and the drought since.
Tennessee claims six national titles, four of them under Robert Neyland and the 1998 BCS championship under Phillip Fulmer. Every title season, the two recognised by the AP, and the 1938 defence that did not allow a point.
