This truly is a historic slide.
The only other slide of a major SEC program that it compares to is LSU's streak from 1989-1999. In those 11 seasons LSU accumulated a record of 58-65-1 (47.1%)
If you take out mid-major non-conference opponents, it gets far worse. LSU typically played 2 or maybe 3 mid-majors each season. From 1989-1999, they played Tulane (7x), Arkansas State (2x), North Texas (2x), Houston (2x), Southern Miss, Akron, Rice, Ohio, New Mexico State, UTEP, Utah St., Idaho, and Colorado State. All total, LSU went 21-3 against these opponents. Their 21 mid-major wins came against weak opponents who sported a combined total record of 67-166-3 (29.0%).
If you take out these mid-majors, LSU's record in these 11 seasons drops to 37-62-1 (37.5%).
Next take out their 15 games against Vanderbilt and Kentucky.... LSU went a combined 8-7 against these two during this stretch... and it brings LSU's record against other teams to 29-55-1 during this period, for a winning percentage of just 34.7%.

Tennessee's slide will be nothing compared to the one UGA is starting to go on.
