It only took year one clean up in Tuscaloosa and two of their best teams in program history to get those 3 wins. Heck, on that thought of LSU's 3 wins: 1 national champion, 1 national title game participant, 1 10-win team.

Seems like the standard in the SEC is "have one of the best teams your school has ever fielded" to beat Alabama under Saban.

Mulligan! Eliminate 2007 from those records. We are not to bad. Except we have not reached the ultimate prize, of which is being the bowl committees 5th choice for being the visiting team for the unsponsored Birmingham Bowl.

Tennessee has beaten us more than auburn has. And has 6 to auburns 2 national championships. The third Saturday in October is a very streaky rivalry, and they were saying the same thing when they had their 7 year streak against us, and we were as desperate to end it as they are now.

Fwiw bedlam and the Florida/Kentucky rivalry are by far the worst rivalries

I've always laughed as we play the Barn, and most other schools play their instate rivalry that Vandy and UT are getting it on. Talk about being historically "non-competitive!"

Texas/Texas A&M was very lopsided towards the Horns. Frankly, so is the OU/Texas rivalry.

1988/1989 they had 10-2 record both years. Only time they've had consecutive ten or more wins. They were 1 win away in 1987 from having four in a row.
