Over the years, "Rocky Top" has become so closely associated with UT that many people believe it to be the school's fight song. However, UT's official fight song is "Down the Field".[14] Regardless of its lack of official status, in 2015, "Rocky Top" was designated the #1 fight song in college football, based on a "cumulative data-based ranking of America's most engaged fan bases" by USA Today.[15] One Tennessee tradition related to the song and similar to that of other schools is to have the team's quarterback conduct the marching band in performing the song after a big win, with Peyton Manning popularizing the tradition when he was Tennessee quarterback.[16]

I was one of those that thought it was their fight song. Did they just shift to it, or do they still play both?

Very true. My dad is a Tennessee fan so I hear their fight songs often. They actually have 4 songs I believe, and they're all actually pretty good.....Sometimes I prefer "Down The Field"
 
There is only 1 greatest. And it is brought to you by the cathedral of college football ;)


Oh. And that f'ing school in Michigan that everyone talks about fight song. Was written where? You guessed it. That town with the cathedral of college football.

You can absolutely hate ND. But when you hear that song it means football time
 
Not a fan, Michigan should be mentioned although so dramatic!
