First, honors go to Missouri for being the first SEC program to win 9 games in a season (1899).
First to win 10 games in a season (includes bowl game if played).........."consensus national champions" means team won the majority of all the NCAA-recognized polls..........
#1 -- LSU!! (1908)....Tigers also first SEC program to be named national champions (same year) as recognized by NCAA Official Records Book.
#2 -- Oklahoma (1915)....named national champions by one NCAA poll service.
#3 -- Texas A&M (1919)....named national champions by two NCAA poll services.
#4 -- Alabama (1920)
#5 -- Tennessee (1938).....named consensus national champions
#6 -- Mississippi State (1940)
#7 -- Georgia (1942).....named consensus national champions
#8 -- Texas (1945)
#9 -- Kentucky (1950).....named national champions by one NCAA poll service.
#10 -- Ole Miss (1955)
#11 -- Auburn (1957).....named consensus national champions.
#12 -- Missouri (1960)....named national champions by one NCAA poll service.
#13 -- Arkansas (1964)......named consensus national champions
#14 -- South Carolina (1984)
#15 -- Florida (1991)
#16 -- Vanderbilt......has never won 10 games in its history; however, they have won 9 games three times: 1904, 1915, and 2012. They also have an outstanding winning record vs. Texas Longhorns (8-3-1).

Texas A&M has one, ONE, 10-win season in the last 25 years...

Missouri admins have no balls or they would (legitimately) claim the 1960 Natty.
Hell, if the Gumps go a game or two above .500 they claim the Natty.

How?
Bama fans tell me that Nick Saban founded LSU in 2001 so this can't be right. They would never lie.

Amazing since 1990 was the first year Florida started playing football.

1919 Texas A&M - Howard Payne;
1920 Alabama - Southern Military Academy; Marion Military Institute, Birmingham-Southern
1938 Tennessee - None
1940 MSU - Southwestern Tennessee; Millsaps
1942 Georgia - Jacksonville Naval Air Station

And we don't even claim it, unlike some of you other figs.

Winning a Natty in in 42 is disgraceful. What were those young men doing playing ball while their friends went to war?
