There are very few exceptions. 1972 and 2013 come to mind.
Largely forgotten fact from both of those games: AU came into the game ranked in the top 10, with only only one previous loss - both times to LSU on the road.

1972: AU was #8 AP, 8-1, with the lone loss to #11 LSU
2013: AU was #4 AP, 10-1, with the lone loss to #15 LSU

So it's not like they were huge upsets.

No, but I think we were favored in both. I know we were in 2013. In 1972 we were undefeated and ranked #2 going in to the AU game so we probably were favored in that one too.
