Beating Nebraska in its current state would not be very satisfying however.

Joe Burrow would probably still appreciate it though.

Texas 7-9-1


LSU is 8-9-1 vs Texas.

And after we beat them in 2020 the series will be tied up.

Weird that LSU is 8-9-1 against Texas and Bama is 1-7-1 against them considering how Bama has had their way in the W category over LSU.

West Virginia (4-5)
UCLA (3 -4)
Penn State (2-3)
Vanderbilt (3-8-1)
Southern California (2-5)
Notre Dame (3-9)
Brigham Young (1-4)
Syracuse (0-2-1)
Air Force (0-1)
Minnesota (0-1)
North Carolina State (0-1)
Northwestern (0-1)
South Carolina (0-1)
Virginia Tech (0-1)

For a team that has historically had Alabama's number like no other, how has UT struggled so much with lower rung teams.

Granted some of those games are decades old when the landscape and powerhouse distribution was quite different, like when Ernie rode the Express into the Cotton Bowl, but still, weird group

The last time Texas played Vanderbilt was in 1928. Vanderbilt previous to that time was not a doormat. They won several conference titles.

West Virginia beat us 3 times out of 7:under Holgerson, when WV was ranked No. 8, 11 and 16. You may remember some of those high-scoring close games.

Air Force beat us in the 1985 Bluebonnet Bowl, when they had Fisher DeBerry as coach, finishing 12-1 and No. 5 in the country (that’s the year they stunned Notre Dame in Colorado.

Virginia Tech beat us in the 1995 Sugar Bowl, the first year they really came onto,the national scene (Jim Druckenmiller is a name I will never forget).

The single loss to Northwestern in 1942 is odd. It was their lone win of the year and we went 9-2, beat Georgia Tech in the Cotton Bowl, and finished No. 11 in the AP.

South Carolina beat us 27-21 in 1957 (Darrell Royal’s first year when we were ranked). They went 5-5, we lost to Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl and finished No. 11. Inexplicable.

I remember the loss to North Carolina State in Austin in 1999. There were a ton of blocked punts and Mack Brown vowed afterward that it would never be a problem again. It wasn’t.

The one that sticks in my craw worst is BYU. Just totally embarrassed us.

Interesting that LSU has a losing record against two of the three former SEC teams. Looks like they must have dreaded those trips up Monteagle Mountain.

It's funny, LSU played Nebraska down to the wire in two Orange Bowls but got trounced by them in two Sugar Bowls. I watched the 1986-87 Sugar Bowl on YT, LSU got off to a good start, but the number of penalties was insane; I guess Arnsparger mailed it in since that was his last game

It's all strange and just more evidence that transitive property is a bad barometer when discussing college sports.

Texas is fortunate for coming away with wins in big games vs Alabama and Georgia, two of the powerhouses in the SEC, in the past. Yet Texas has an absolutely dreadful record against Vanderbilt of 3-8-1.

Same with the Big 12: Texas has a winning record over everybody except WVU (4-5) and until last year, KSU (10-10), who for the longest time had one of the lowest win percentages in the history of college football.

They, along with Notre Dame, are probably the only schools that can attest to "owning" Texas. Either they blew us out (normally BYU), or it was a close game and Texas found a way to let the other team win (Notre Dame). Either way, Texas has not performed well against those schools hardly AT ALL

Alabama's only noticeable bad overall records are to Texas and Notre Dame, even though we beat them both in the last two national title games, which was good payback.

There's other random schools we have a losing record to but primarily due to having only played a very small number of times. Lots of random 0-1 or 1-2 type records.

The only team we've never beaten that we've played multiple times is bizarrely Rice, we're 0-3 against them, happened to play them a few times in the 50's when they were good.

That's all I can find, it's possible that I couldve missed some though.

there are a couple of obscure schools that don't even field teams that we lost to once or twice

I would personally like to see us start scheduling home and homes with Wake, Pitt, Maryland and the other P5 schools on that list and work to get Rice and Houston on the sched, I'd even give Houston a 2 for 1 deal and make the trip to TX one time....

Its not that weird depending on which year and if it was a bowl game or not.

Alabama played Texas 9 times. 6 of those were bowl games, the other 3 were 1922 or earlier.

Looking at the records those years (Alabama or LSU first), listing Alabama games first:

1902: 4-4 vs 6-3-1
1915: 6-2 vs 6-3
1922: 6-3-1 vs 7-2
1947: 8-3 vs 10-1
1960: 8-1-2 vs 7-3-1
1964: 10-1 vs 10-1
1972: 10-2 vs 10-1
1981: 9-2-1 vs 10-1-1
2009: 14-0 vs 13-1

1896: 6-0 vs 4-2-1
1899: 1-4 vs 6-2
1902: 6-1 vs 6-3-1
1907: 7-3 vs 6-1-1
1910: 1-5 vs 6-2
1935: 9-2 vs 4-6
1936: 9-1-1 vs 2-6-1
1937: 9-2 vs 2-6-1
1938: 6-4 vs 1-8
1941: 4-4-2 vs 8-1-1
1948: 3-7 vs 7-3-1
1950: 4-5-2 vs 9-2
1952: 3-7 vs 9-2
1953: 5-3-3 vs 7-3
1954: 5-6 vs 4-5-1
1962: 9-1-1 vs 9-1-1
2002: 8-5 vs 11-2
2019: 15-0 vs 8-5

I think the biggest surprise is that LSU tied Texas in 1936. Would have been a 4 game winning streak for LSU during a period where they were clearly better.

Only once did Texas play both Alabama and LSU in the same season, 1902. LSU beat both teams.

Tennessee have historically daddied LSU


Tale of 2 centuries=

LSU has 10 wins over the Vols. The first win was in 1933, 7 of the remaining 9 wins have occurred since 2000.

When LSU won in 1974, it broke a 40 year victory streak by Tennessee. LSU would win just once more in the next 25 years.

However Tennessee's last victory over LSU, was Les Miles' 1st game as Head Coach in Tiger Stadium.

Bama is 1-3 against Boston College. Made the mistake of scheduling them in Doug Flutie's last two seasons.

Also 2-3-1 against Oklahoma and 2-3 vs TCU.
