re: List of SEC programs with most 10+ wins that rank among nation's top 20 all-time

Number of Final AP Top 10 opponents faced since 2010:

46- Auburn






39- Tennessee

37- Alabama, Florida, LSU

35- Georgia
34- Arkansas
33- Miss St



29- Ole Miss
28- S Carolina, Vanderbilt
27- Texas, Texas A&M

25- Missouri
24- Kentucky
23- Oklahoma

Again. The variance is SOS that exists in this sport is too severe to put much stock in # of 10-win seasons. When the Sooners start playing a schedule with a pulse, there’s no way those 10+ seasons will keep piling up.

I’m not a huge fan of the 10+ win stat because it doesn’t factor SOS.

Boise State has 18 seasons of 10+ wins since 1996, yet you’d be hard-pressed to find 10 wins against ranked opponents during those 18 seasons.

I think the 10 win season has been diluted; as recently as the late 90's you only had 11 games. And going back just a few years earlier, there was no conference title game.

If you're 10-1, that's a special season, and you may be playing for a title in the poll era (meaning there's a good chance the national consensus is you're the best team).
Now if you're 10-2, that's a good solid season, but nothing historical.

I think the loss total (1 loss seasons) would be a far better indicator. Those are elite years. If you want to have "very good", go to 2 losses.

Their fans are worse than UCF. I'm glad they suck arse now.
