I was reading through Florida's pregame "notes" for New Mexico State, and I found this particular stat pretty incredible:

Since 2005, Florida is 35-4 (.857) in the month of September.

Granted, we tend to play our four "cupcakes" in September (2 out of conference teams, and two of the bottom dwellers in the SEC East that we haven't lost to in 10+ years), but that is still an insane record. How does that record compare to other SEC teams in the month of September?

No it isn't because

I think LSU has only lost like 3 or 4 games in September since 2000. I'd imagine this is pretty common among top programs.

I can remember when I thought one of the most important East games, the Florida -Tennessee game, was played too early in the season.

Is that really all that impressive?

The answer is no.

Quickly looking back since 2005 Alabama is 40-4 (.909) on the field in August/September (includes a couple of August games in those rare years we started that early). (30-4 (.882) excluding the vacated wins)

The record is 30-0 (1.000) from 2008-2014.

Beating FCS level teams in Sept. doesn't compensate for losing to that FCS school in Nov.

Dang man, I had no idea that this was a troll until you pointed it out! You're pretty good at this posting thing, I hope you do more of it in the future!
