Honestly surprised you were able to pick up on that this thread is about football, since it doesn't state football or baseball anywhere in the OP. I know that was a hard one for you to grasp yesterday.
I did find it hilarious that you just started spewing random facts about Tennessee vs LSU that had nothing to do with what we were talking about or the thread, it was just out of nowhere
I did not realize how far down Tennessee was on all those lists, must suck to root for a team that hasn't won the big one in close to 30 years

Instead, Vandy beat Bama, which made them 9-3, and they lost their postseason game, finishing ranked #17.
So in other words, Bama was nothing close to a #1 team so Vandy getting credit for beating a Top 25 opponent rather than tbe #1 team is far more accurate... just as using final rankings produces.
Thank you for proving my point.

yeah they're being "penalized" with internet message board talking points. Oh the horror. What they actual did in real life on the field is unchanged.

Go look at the OP where he says they have 0 wins against the top 10.
well, it's an objective fact that they didn't beat anyone in 2024 that finished in the top 10. The only halfway decent team they beat that season won single-digit games and lost 4 times. Their next best win was barely .500.

What's the breakdown for conference and non-conference ranked teams?

What's the breakdown for conference and non-conference ranked teams?
For Top 25 wins in the past 20 years (SE C / Non-SEC / Total):
Alabama (47/18/65)
Georgia (32/18/50)
Oklahoma (6/38/44)
LSU (28/14/42)
Texas (5/25/30)
Auburn (23/6/29)
Florida (21/7/28)
S Carolina (14/12/26)
Ole Miss (15/9/24)
Texas A&M (11/10/21)
Tennessee (9/8/17)
Arkansas (14/2/16)
Missouri (5/8/13)
Kentucky (6/4/10)
Miss St (6/2/8)
Vanderbilt (4/0/4)
Expansion teams are going to show way more non-SEC wins simply because they played much of the period outside the SEC.

Indeed.
If you do a points system, awarding a team 25 points for beating the #1 team, 24 points for beating the #2 team... sliding all the way down to 1 point for beating the #1 team, this is how it shakes out over the past 20 seasons:
792- Alabama
543- Georgia
541- LSU
439- Oklahoma
381- Auburn
376- Florida
265- South Carolina
265- Texas
213- Texas A&M
204- Ole Miss
182- Arkansas
170- Tennessee
97- Missouri
89- Kentucky
53- Miss St
19- Vanderbilt
Texas and South Carolina having the same number of Big Win points is wild. As is Arkansas being ahead of Tennessee.

Thanks
The numbers that jump out to me are Auburn and Florida's low totals vs non-conference. Tennessee has more in that timeframe, and they weren't good for much of that. Even Missouri has more. I assume those are bowls included, I'd have guessed they would have won more OOC big game matchups. I guess they really didn't play anyone in the regular season, outside of conference games.

Yeah I think that's why I was surprised.
Missouri's biggest wins since 2006 (using final AP rankings)
Beat #6 Oklahoma in 2010
Beat #7 Florida in 2018
Beat #7 Kansas in 2007
Beat #10 Ohio State in 2023
Beat #17 Tennessee in 2023
Beat #17 Oklahoma St in 2013
Beat #18 Kansas St in 2023
Beat #18 Texas A&M in 2013
Beat #19 Texas A&M in 2010
Beat #20 Illinois in 2007

Back in the Big Eight/12, we would beat the underlings and get smoked by OU and Nebraska. Same thing has pretty much been true in the SEC except now its Georgia and Alabama.

I’m going to get roasted for this but whatever - One has to wonder how many of these ranked wins come from Sec teams just beating down other over-ranked Sec teams at the beginning of the season? The pollsters always seem to stick the a certain number of teams in there that have no realistic reason for being there (Au, FL the past few years as example)

These numbers are based on Final AP rankings. Read the thread, nerd.

Arkansas having as many Top 10 wins as A&M and more than Ole Miss is surprising.
What’s more surprising is, not gonna take the time to look, that most of ours probably came in that short 6 years between 2006 and 2012. If we hadn’t fallen of a cliff the last 15 years or so, we’d probably have more.

I'm pretty sure Will Muschamp has more final top 10 wins as a HC over the past 20 seasons than Tennessee.
