There is only one team in the SEC that Alabama does not have a winning record against.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama vs. Arkansas (13-8) .619
Alabama vs. Auburn (42-34-1) .553*
Alabama vs. Florida (23-14) .622
Alabama vs. Georgia (36-25-4) .590
Alabama vs. Kentucky (35-2-1) .946#
Alabama vs. LSU (47-25-5) .653
Alabama vs. Mississippi State (75-18-3) .806
Alabama vs. Ole Miss (47-9-2) .839
Alabama vs. South Carolina (10-4) .714
Alabama vs. Tennessee (49-38-7) .563
Alabama vs. Vanderbilt (59-20-4) .747
Alabama vs. Texas A&M (3-2) .600
Alabama vs. Missouri (2-2) .500
The first meeting was in the 1968 Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, FL. A Dan Devine lead, 16th ranked, Tigers team played a 12th ranked Crimson Tide team coached by the great Bear Bryant. The Tigers were coming off a two game losing streak and were expected to lose to what was considered a far superior Alabama team. Mizzou went on to win 35-10 LINK.
Going into their second meeting in 1975, this time in Birmingham, Alabama was one of the most dangerous teams in the country, going 22-0 through the regular 1973-74 season while outscoring opponents by an average of 35.1 to 7.8. Over a five-week span in 1974, the Tide outscored opponents, 162-16 - having utilized a new gadget offense known as the "wishbone". Mizzou went on to beat Bear Bryant by a score of 20-7. LINK
The next two meetings were not that interesting, but Alabama did find a way squeak out a win.
Will Alabama finally gain superiority over every team in the SEC tomorrow, or will Mizzou shock the college football world once again by knocking off a seemingly far superior Alabama team?

Haven't you heard? That is about to change!

Well since Missouri has been in the SEC it's 1-0. And Saturday night it will be 2-0 in SEC play, (3-2 all time)

It won't make LSU's record any better. I fully expect the game tomorrow to be competitive. I just found the statement that Bama squeaked out the last two wins funny. I can't remember the exact score in 2012, but it was a good 5 or 6 TD win.

History of the Wishbone Excerpt
The Texas Longhorns only scored 18.6 points per game in a 6–4 season in 1967. After watching Texas A&M—running Gene Stallings' option offense—beat Bear Bryant's Alabama team in the 1968 Cotton Bowl Classic, Royal instructed Bellard to design a new three-man back-field triple option offense. Bellard tried to merge his old high school tactics with Stallings' triple option out of the Slot-I formation and Homer Rice's variations of the Veer, an offensive formation created by Bill Yeoman.
Introducing the new offensive scheme at the beginning of the 1968 season, Houston Chronicle sportswriter Mickey Herskowitz stated it looked like a “pulley bone”, while Royal agreed but changed the name to “wishbone”. Royal quickly embraced the idea of the wishbone, which proved to be a wise choice: Texas tied its first game running the new offense, lost the second, and then won the next thirty straight games, leading to two National Championships using the formation.[5] In 1971 Royal showed the offense to Bear Bryant, who was so enamored with it that he installed it at Alabama complete with his own touches.

I think those are last year's numbers. I'm assuming Bama still owns everyone except Mizzou though.

If the tide is allowed to reach back to the stone ages to claim championship titles...we're allowed to reach back to the tide's Bear Bryant glory years to point out that we owned your most historic coach.

At least Bama is reaching with titles. Youz reaching for ... well ... just anything.

In all seriousness man... you guys will get respect when you earn it. You can't "reach" for respect. Don't worry it will come. I believe Mizzou can do it. Just not tomorrow. But, we'll see.

Sure. Y'all have been damn good for a damn long time.
Just pointing out the your very best coach ever with the best teams ever couldn't beat lowly Mizzou.
