You forgot LSU women's track. Like 12 straight National Titles from the 80's to the 90's.

This is a cool thread. Here's what I've got for Georgia:

Women's Gymnastics (1987-2009)
10 NC's, including 5 in a row from 2005-2009

Men's Tennis (1999-2008)
5 NC's (there were also 2 NC's in 1985 and 1987)

Women's Swimming and Diving (1999-Present)
6 NC's

Aw, Hell... Equestrian too (2003-2010)
5 NC's

3 national championships, not 2. We were national champs in 61, 64 and 65.


Yea, those were good teams. One of them even finished with a better record then Arkansas.

Olw Miss was far better than Syracuse in 1959, they got screwed because of the Northern bias in the AP voting.

Just compare the records, Syracuse played a crap schedule and barely squeaked by in a few of the games.

Between 1902 and 1912, Vandy football went 86-13-6 and won 9 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championships

Bow. Bow hard.


Also, between 2002 and 2013, Vandy won 10 Quidditch national titles.*

Out scoring opponents 350-21 in a 10-0-1 campaign and being rated by Sagarin as the third best team from 1956-95 is pretty real to me.

10-0-1 with a 1960 Sugar Bowl victory and wins at Tennessee and Arkansas is pretty real as well.

10-0 in 1962 with wins at No. 4 LSU and vs No. 6 Arkansas also counts as a legitimate national title.

It's no secret why we didn't win the AP Poll.



And people talk about our unwarranted national title claims.

UK men's basketball 1995-1998. Final four every year, two national titles and a runner up (in overtime) finish. Also included the 1996 team that won their tournament games by the highest margin ever (I'm too lazy to look it up but it's an absurd margin).

Alabama and Georgia can probably claim some level of dynasties in Gymnastics - especially Georgia.

Just stop. Ole Miss never had a dynasty in football.

LSU had a split title, and 2 loses on the other during that time frame. Not really killing it there.

in that case, UGA gymnastics won 5 consecutive national titles between roughly 2004-2008ish.


I guess the only thing you could maybe say as one for football, although it would not qualify if we're saying you have to have 2 titles at least, would be 80-83.

In that 4 year period we won 3 consecutive SEC titles, played for 2 national titles winning 1, and only lost 1 SEC game in 4 years. 43-4-1 record during that time.

I don't think LSU's national championship in 2003 is diminished because of the AP vote. For me, there is no such thing as a split in the BCS era - the BCS title is the title.

That being said, I agree that two titles from 2003-2007 is not a dynasty. You have to at least be in contention for the title in those in between years where you don't win it.

I have great respect for LSU, and in my mind they have taken Tennessee's seat as second in the conference since 2000. But I can't call 2003-2007 a dynasty.
