Impressive, but the most impressive UK one is "The Streak"
Coach Rupp led Kentucky to an insane 129 consecutive home-court wins between the years of 1943-1955. Making Kentucky's home-court winning streak both the longest and oldest on this top ten list. A 1955 58-59 loss to Georgia Tech in Memorial Coliseum ended the Wildcats' home winning streak at 129 games.
This streak will probably never be broken as it lasted over a decade!

Lots to choose from but my two favorites
1. Alabama is the only SEC school to have won an SEC Championship in every decade since the SEC was founded.
2. Alabama has a winning record against every SEC school both as the home team and the visiting team*.
*Technically Alabama's home record vs TAMU is .500 because not sure who was home team when Bama played TAMU in 1942 Cotton Bowl.

Wasn't Eddie Kennison's 109 yard return a kickoff? Or a punt? I was at that game, but was a kid. I swear I saw Eddie return at least one.
Eddie had a 100-yard punt return in Tiger Stadium. He also ran a kickoff back 92 yards for a TD against Saban in the Indy Bowl. But he didn't have any kickoff returns for TDs in Tiger Stadium. I thought he did too.
It's hard to believe that Odell Beckham, Trindon Holliday, Skylar Green, Kevin Faulk, Eddie Kennison, etc., never returned one for a TD in Tiger Stadium. Yet, slow-azz Eric Martin returned one back in 1981 (though he was an awesome player in college and the NFL).
Why is it so elusive? I mean, hell, we had a 109-yard short field goal return by Odell last year, but we haven't had a kickoff returned for a TD in 33 years at home.

Ole Miss has the longest bowl win streak in the SEC and the second longest in the country.
The last bowl that OM lost was the Music City Bowl in 2000.

But when you play in three mediocre bowls a decade, that's not too impressive a stat.

To be fair, Ole Miss has only appeared in 6 bowl games since then.
Still a nice streak of bowl wins, but only two of those 6 came in consecutive years.

Mizzou has that 50+ games in a roll where they have forced at least one turnover.
By far the longest in the country.
Haha, that streak ends this year! No one forces us to turnover, we do it at will and dare our team to win with the handicap. So far not much luck but our time will come...

Perhaps you should lower your handicap. Maybe win a game here or there.

I think that Bama is 0-1 against Missouri at home. The Tigers beat Bama at Legion Field in 1975 in the only game between the two played in Alabama.

Every team in the SEC has either a current 3 game losing streak vs. Mark Richt or a non-winning record vs. Mark Richt.
