They actually played a game in November 1892. Against a bunch of high school players from Birmingham.

Oh no 1992 was our 100th year and we played an official game against another opponent in 1892

So in other words Alabama likely didn't play a game until 1893
but will claim 1892.

Don't know about wiki, I guess they are wrong.
There are multiple citations that state the same. He founded the team, he didnt return back to alabama until 1892. This is according to your school maintained wiki page as well.

yall are always saying how bad the school is, so maybe they are wrong. I can't tell you any more than I have or give you any citations until I get back home and dig up my paper on the beginning of Alabama football. It is a really awesome paper if I do say so myself.

1893 Football Team "Mr. W.G. Little, of Livingston, Ala., was the first man to introduce football at the University. Mr. Little had been a student at Andover, Mass., and went to the University (of Alabama) carrying his uniform and a great bag of enthusiasm for the game in 1892. A number of students joined in with him in the season beginning in October of that year."
Just saying.
your order should be UGA, AU, Bama, SC

Even IF true, your change to 12 doesn't help your case. Speaking of numbers, that is less than a 1 percent difference.

We usually win them, 1941 is a bad choice but oh well, before my time. I try not to make too big a fuss about things that were so long ago.
If you want to consider all time program performance the tie breaker to make the numbers work go ahead.
