Auburn also has 12 undefeated seasons. More than Bammer


4 of which were from 1893 to 1912, an era in which there were 3 downs, touchdowns were 5 points and the field was 110 yards long.

The 1893 Auburn team played 5 games. The 1897 Auburn team played 3 games. The 1900 Auburn team played 4 games. So, in that light, I'm going to go ahead and anoint the 2017 Alabama Crimson Tide as undefeated as they are 5-0.

Also, the 1957 and 1993 teams were on probation and did not participate in the postseason. Lots of teams have gone undefeated in the regular season, only to lose in the postseason (Bama last year and in 2008, for example). So, those two "undefeated" seasons have significant asterisks.
