Despite that the streak is based on a team being "unranked" when you play them, TAMU was 27th in the AP poll and 26th in the Coaches. ULM wasn't even in the top 50, and Alabama was sitting at 34th in the AP poll with 4 losses already

So technically yes this highly nuanced streak was broken...by a team that missed being ranked by just 71 points. For added context, the difference between being #1 (currently UGA) and #2 (currently Iowa) is 74 points.

i always found it interesting how talking heads would discredit a teams win, over a ranked team, early in the season, if the losing team wasn't ranked at the end of the season. especially as it pertained to bama and/or the sec. so on one hand, the ranking at the time of loss does not matter.
