re: SEC programs in order of most recent 9+ loss season

Weren’t y’all a top 5 team in 2005?

At some point.

Started 9–0, but dropped two of the next three and finished 10–2.

BTW, you may recall the first loss of that season was a huge matchup against LSU, which JaMarcus Russell won in OT.

Followed that up by going 6–6 in 2006 and Shula got fired, which of course led to Saban.
