at what point is "all time record" rather meaningless? In other words, would you rather have an all time winning record of 70-30 over a team (but having lost the last 30 straight) or be 30-70 and having won 25 of the last 30?
To tie in with that, how would you define the modern era of football? A rolling "last 25 years"? The point at which scholarships were limited (70s) which evened the playing field?
At what point does the past become irrelevant?

its simple.
if you lose to a team that you have a winning record against all-time, you shove it in their face....see UGA fans in the 90s/2000s with Florida fans.

Post-segregation objectively makes the most sense, IMO.

There is nothing actually 'relevant' about college football, and therefore there really isn't anything 'meaningful' about it. It's just entertainment. So you can pretty much just pick whatever timeframes you want - all are equally irrelevant.
...Can someone please make sure that the fans in Alabama get this message?

I would define modern college football as 1950-present. 1950 is a nice round number, plus it is the start of the 2 poll era.

Depends on whatever time frame makes you look good and the other guys look bad, tbh.
For me, personally, I don't truly care much about results/records that predate my own date of birth. To me, there's no point in exulting over successes or mourning defeats that were before my time. Jmho, though.

Only teams with 0 history go by "modern era" records.

92 with conference championship games? I could go 2009 if you'd like.
Be real, all-time matters in SEC.

Post-integration. Happened between 1967 and 1973 in the SEC.
Before that, who cares? Those teams couldn't hang with modern teams. It was a different thing altogether.

Just go with the current century. No need to dwell on the past. What counts the most is now.

Which one makes LSU look better?
Scruffy is gonna go with that one.

There's no correct answer, it's completely subjective. Many people, including those in the media, use 1936 as a line of demarcation between the "old day" and "modern football" since that's when the AP poll began and at that point the rules were well standardized and college football was a very big sport all across the country.
For the SEC of course 1992 is a big deal because of divisions.
Also, 1992 is significant because that was when the Bowl Coalition was formed and we began having an "official" national championship game at the end of the year.
