[sanjosecrimson]

Alabama seeks to join exclusive club of SEC teams with win over Mizzou

Kalen DeBoer's team would make college football history if it can walk out of Columbia victorious on Saturday afternoon.

This is quite a feat if Bama defeats Missouri this Saturday.
I don't want to look too far ahead, but Tennessee is also ranked and if Bama beats them, it's safe to say it would be unprecedented.

I wish they had posted the list of teams that have accomplished that.

A quick search says:
Georgia in 2021 and 2023, and Alabama in 2016

I assume this excludes the post season, where we would have played 3 ranked teams in a row every year we made it to the SECC and NC and won.

Doesn't look like UGA 2021 did it, but 2023 did.

If A&M was ranked, we did it in 2016.

That's in consecutive weeks with no bye. We've played back-to-back-to-back ranked teams many times but not without a week off.

Doesn't look like they did this either time.

Oops you're right, their wins aren't/weren't consecutive. Bad AI, no video games for you

3rd consecutive undefeated team no less...

3rd consecutive undefeated team no less...

Actually every team we have played was undefeated before we played them.

This stretch of the schedule is why winning that opening game was so important. If we ONLY lose one game the rest of the regular season we'll definitely make the playoffs. But man, thats going to be tough to do.

Yes that's the criteria

Looks like it was actually right. I went and looked again and Kentucky was ranked in 2021 when UGA played them.
