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

Another SOS stat:

Number of seasons in the past 14 years (since 2010) in which each team only faced one, lone (or fewer) Final AP Top 10 opponent:

6- Oklahoma
5- Kentucky, S Carolina, Texas A&M
4- Vanderbilt
3- Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss
2- Arkansas, LSU, Missouri, Texas
1- Florida, Miss St, Tennessee
0- Auburn

In 43% of each and every recent football season, the Oklahoma Sooners have been able to face a favorable schedule that included only a single Top 10 opponent…. The 2010 team actually played zero. Meanwhile Auburn never once faced a schedule like that during the same period of time.

Again, when taking these things into account, I’m not too impressed with some of these 10 win seasons.

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.

You cherry picked 2010 and later because the big 12 was very dominant before that. Also OU and Texas have always maintained top SOS. OU has always played Nebraska and Texas yearly who combine for more NCs than the rest of the SEC combined if you don’t count Bama and TN.

Number of Final AP Top 10 opponents faced since 2010:

46- Auburn

Pretty wild that Bama and UGA account for 23 of those 46...

UA - 14

UGA - 9...

Damn tough row to hoe erry year by AU. Still 1 NC and 1 NC runner up during that time...
