LSU was beating Bama in Death Valley, but Bama wasn't ranked.


Yeah. That was the final year of the DuBose era and the Shula years:

2000: Alabama finished 3-8
2004: Alabama finished 6-6
2006: Alabama finished 6-7

The one time LSU defeated a ranked Alabama team in Tiger Stadium was 2010.

No doubt it’s a horrible stat from an LSU perspective. What’s maybe even more strange in the context of that lopsided stat is how Tuscaloosa has been the exact opposite for LSU playing in Bryant-Denny in the modern era— since 1988 when the LSU-Bama series went strictly to playing all Bama home games in Tuscaloosa— the Tigers are 9-7.

If you want to go back and make it an even 40 years since 1980 (the 80’s games were mostly played in Legion field) the game is even more in LSU’s favor at 12-8.
