Auburn is literally in our worst rut as a program since just after WW2.
The current four year streak of finishing unranked is the longest such streak for Auburn since the 10-year streak from 1943-1952.

I’m honestly shocked that LSU has a longer rut than the one they experienced in the early ‘90s.
And I’m equally shocked that Tennessee’s worst rut was not one that included Dooley and the other string of coaches they went through post-Fulmer

Looking at this quickly...feels a bit unfair. In 69 we won the acc finishing 7-4 overall..but 3 of those losses were against ranked teams. We were 7-3 going into a bowl.

Dam! As an LSU fan i would have guessed easily most of the 90's would have been where LSU would have landed unranked. Did realize we were pretty bad for a good chunk of the 70's.

Now do the playoff era.

State finished ranked in 1981 so our streak would be 1982-1991 (which is still still woeful).
1986 we started 6-1 and were ranked as high as #13. But then we promptly lost our last 4 games to finish 6-5 and obviously unranked and no bowl either.

You’re telling me less than 10 years after this streak ended we added them to the SEC? It was a different era for sure
