you are playing dumb i hope... because if this was an honest mistake teh thing to do would be admit it and move on
you can't count stuff from before there was a SEC... as a SEC acheivement

the game will always be changing... but unless you think princeton and yale are two of the greatest football programs in history... most of us no longer consider the older records as being relevant
for the reasons already mentioned
It's not really the same reasons at all.
But I agree that we can't really call the Vols from 25-34 a great 'SEC' dynasty. I'm not really sure they can be called a dynasty.
In all honesty, the only ones I can really see being called a dynasty would be Bama from 71-80, Florida's run, Ole Miss' run, and UT's run from 36-46.

well, it's interesting... but not the same game at all
not integrated, fewer conference games, didn't have different squads for different units, didn't have tape study and training like today
it's cool stuff if you like visiting the basketball hall of fame to see the Minneapolis Lakers... but those old trophies are really not from teh same game as we see on the field today
You're right, it's a totally different game. But that was what it was back then. Everyone played by the same rules that was set back then. So everyone had the same opportunity as everyone else.
There were also players that played the entire game, both offense and defense. Some played either without helmets or just leather helmets to protect their heads. Did they even have good protective equipment back then?
What about team doctors and dietitians and nutritionists. The player's health and safety probably weren't as protected then as it is now.
The positions weren't the same. One of Bama's hall of famer's, Gilmer, actually played quarterback, halfback, defensive back, punter, and kickoff returner. And he played the different positions during the same game. Can't do that today.
So, everything was different, but it was the same difference for everyone.
You can't go back in history and apply the rules that exist today. And you can't take away the accomplishments that the players accomplished back then when playing by the rules that were set up for them back then.

frick no. Bama dominated in the post-integration era. Their domination was infinitely more impressive than Tennessee beating up a bunch of teams when they were still playing with leather helmets.

you're either trolling/joking or retarded... either way I'm done debating that point
you can't include games from before there was a SEC

like I said in the first page the guy who originally wrote it lined up the teams by winning percentage for convenience purposes.

molsusports seems to be saying that any accomplishments that occurred pre-1998 in football shouldn't be counted.

These were the days of my youth...the formulative years that forever made me a Bama fan.

You must about the same age as me, but I was born an Alabama fan. Never had a choice. The first words I ever spoke were "Roll Tide".
I've got a picture of me from 1966 (4 years old) wearing a very small Alabama letterman's sweater.
I don't regret it one bit, but I never had a choice about where my allegiance was. I just thank God every day that my parents weren't Auburn fans.
Congrats guys on your first NC in a half century.
