SEC was established in 1932.

It didn’t say “first SEC win” nor “first win while in SEC” if not mistaken.

Transylvania is a small university here in Lexington. Can't remember if they're D3 or NAIA.

A&M basically played high schools and very small regional universities in its first five seasons of football in the 1890s. We didn't play a full slate until 1899 when we put LSU on the schedule.
The A&M LSU history goes back a ways (along with Baylor and Texas).

First ever loss might be even more interesting, particularly if it’s the same kind of names.
Eta: According to Wiki, Alabama’s first loss was the Birmingham Athletic Club. Apparently they played twice in Bama’s inaugural season and they won one and lost one. Reporters indicated Bama beat themselves though.

So I wonder what the old boys from Florida were doing while everybody else was playing football for all those years?

Bonus:
Tulane's first football win was over LSU in 1893.
Georgia Tech's first football win was over Georgia in 1893.
Sewanee's first football win was over Tennessee in 1891.
The three former members are over here playing real schedules, meanwhile Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Texas A&M beat high school students. Kentucky beat mythological vampires (probably a noon kickoff), Texas beat a soccer team, Vanderbilt beat a bunch of aliens trying too hard to blend in at the "Totally Normal School," and Missouri just beat up a bunch of engineering nerds and called it a day.

The Rebels defeat the Union. Sounds good.

I know in the case of Oklahoma there weren't any other college teams in the state for several years. OU had to play Norman High and "town teams" for several years because that is all their was locally and the University wouldn't fund their travel.

I noticed lots of High Schools on the list so I was curious and looked it up. It was common to play HSs back then. UGAs win over Mercer in 1982 is considered the first intercollegiate football game played in the South. It was also UGAs first game. I their second game they played Auburn (loss) which became known as the DSOR.

Ole Miss vs Union was the Jefferson-Pilot game of the week.

Ole Miss vs Union and aggy beating a high school seem appropriate
