re: Longest Consecutive Bowl Streaks for Each SEC Team

Imma Dawg and the Dawgs 27yr streak is awesome, but the Bama 25yr streak from the 50's, 60's and early 70's is more impressive...

Any team with a pulse that can finish 6-6 and even 5-7 some years gets a bowl...

Not diminishing the Dawgs streak but they're kinda apples-oranges. Two different eras and less Bowls in the day...

Kind of wish they had a "classic era" vs "modern era" records list.

How the QB passer rating record was broken in 1980 by Jim McMahon with a 176.9 and lasted for 15 years.

Now the top 10 best QB rating seasons have occurred in the past 11 years. McMahon's record season is 44th.

Passer Rating - Single Season

Or how the record of "most games scoring a TD in a season" sits at 15 by Bryce Young and Derrick Henry, but you could not have HAD 15 games to score a TD until 2014 (barring a few exception).

Of course there'd be a lot of eras (the pre-bowl expansion era, the pre-BCS era, the pre-playoff era, etc.) - but it still feels like we lose a lot of context for records like these.
