Oh yeah... CMR will also have tied up the all-time season record 21-21-2 with a 10-4 record vs UT...
UT was leading 17-11-2 when CMR arrived in Athens...

If you go by percentages I think Carolina is the worse. 2 in 22 seasons is pretty terrible
We've also won 42 games in our last four seasons which none of the other programs on the list can claim.
We don't deny our past, we've simply vowed to never repeat it. So, there are two ways to look at it, naturally, you chose the glass that was half empty.
I thought Florida went 0-8 in the SEC in '79 or '80 or there about?
At any rate, the mess Fat Bradstard Scott left us in 1998 is a distant memory to most. And how we've come back stronger than ever, having hired Holtz and Spurrier since, is a source of pride to many.
You can't keep tSCAR down.

Didn't realize Kentucky. Did they show any signs of improvement with their new coach?

Why did this thread become about Tennessee and Auburn in about 2 seconds flat? What the frick does Tennessee have to do with the OP at all?

Or just what a horrible job Gene did. A 3-9 team does not turn around over night and become a 12-2 team unless they have talent - I don't care how good the coach is.
As good as Bear Bryant was, he could only manage 5-4-1 in his inaugural season after the team had combined for 8-29-4 over the previous four seasons.

Florida went 0-10-1 in 1979. They and Alabama belong in this club.

I put the over/under on A&M joining that club at 1.5 years. What say the rant?

From what I saw of them I think so and they're recruiting better. Most of their on-field improvement last year was on defense but they had a few guys on offense that looked good at times but overall they really struggled to get the offense going and couldn't really get much consistency. It was incremental progress rather than a big easy to see leap but I think it was there, especially in a few of their earlier games.
Their lack of depth and overall talent level really caught up to them at the end of the season. They were able to fight harder and stay in games longer the first part of the season and some guys showed some legit SEC talent but as the season wore on UK just started to look like they really ran out of gas - injuries, the general grind of the season, no real depth, and talent disparities started to show in a bad way.

It also doesn't help when you're running a backup QB under center who can't throw well (at least by SEC standards). Whitlow's legs could only create so much and he was hobbled by season's end. The QB situation looks a lot better than it did.

I thought both QBs showed flashes last year but yeah the injuries took their toll and I agree about Whitlow only being able to do so much with his legs but I think he had more of an issue with timing/getting in sync with receivers than a bad arm. Who is the QB this year? I think I remember a UK fan talking about someone new taking the reins and one of the other QBs transferring in a huff over a proposed position switch or something to that effect a few months ago but I don't know if I'm remembering what they told me correctly. What's the situation there? Also, what about your WRs (any news there)?

Yes but the conference has only been playing 8 games a year since 1992.
All the other winless SEC seasons were 0-7, 0-6, 0-5, etc.
If you wanna include all 0-X seasons you'll find Auburn shoots way up the charts, they put up 4-5 winless SEC campaigns in the pre-division days.

Pretty sure 2012 was only our 2nd winless SEC campaign since 1951, the other being 0-6 in 1980. Both ended with the coaching staff being dismissed, and replaced by HCs who won undisputed SEC Championships within their first three seasons. Don't think any of the other members of the 0-8 club can make that claim.
As for our friends in hunter orange, the fact that 11 of the 15 winless SEC teams since expansion just happened to be on the Vols schedule might have something to do with why they aren't in the club. I think if AU had been able to close out our 2012 season with eventual 0-8ers UK instead of the eventual BCS Champs we might not be members either.

In 1999 LSU was 0-7 and then blew the doors off of Arkansas. That was a close call.

So that means every west team that was there for the 1992 "split" has gone 0-7. Lsu being the only one to avoid coming in 2nd every game in a modern day sec season. That 1999 lsu team avoided getting rings that said "# 2 in every sec game"

Another example of Arkansas being LSU's superbowl.
