Auburn is arguably the best team in the sec the past 30 years or since 1981 when Dye arrived.
Absolutely a top 4 team in SEC during that time, but I'd love to hear the case for them to be the #1 team in SEC during that time. Can't make that case for AU over Florida or Bama, IMO.
The most stunning thing for me about AU is that they've not had back-to-back 10 win seasons since 1988 & 1989. That's a quarter of a century.
No one currently playing football for AU was ALIVE the last time the team had back-to-back 10 win seasons. That's shocking for a team with as much history & tradition as AU. Likely changes this year though.

It's a crazy stat, but you're right it would require a wildly disappointing season for them to have 4 losses this year. The melt would be fun to watch, but I would be left scratching my head wondering what the hell just happened if they go 9-4 or worse.

Think I could make the case against bama. More undefeated seasons, more sec titles, and I think more sec wins.
All while playing a vastly more difficult schedule than bama since 1981.
You would have to add up sec wins though. If it is even close, AU has definitely been better since 1981.
