Check in if you've won a NCG by a bigger margin than your largest blowout loss.

I would not have guessed that 4 of these were to Vanderbilt.

Georgia has the least worst blowout loss.



There should be an Asterisk beside that one. There were only 5 SEC schools that fielded teams in 1943, and a lot of players were fighting overseas. So, I wouldn't count that team as fully representing UGA.

Georgia's worst blowout loss would probably be their 0-60 loss to USC in 1931, followed by their 0-47 losses to both Vanderbilt and Sewanee in 1901 and then their 0-46 loss to Tennessee in 1936 and their 0-46 loss to Vanderbilt in 1912.

I love how old games are always just absolute arse beatings or snoozefests. It's never 28-21 or 35-31.

It's always Five Septillion to nothing or 6 to 0.

This is wrong. Florida beat Kentucky 73-7 in 1994 and 65-0 in 1996. Florida also beat LSU 58-3 in 1993. Kentucky lost to St Louis 82-0 one year, and LSU lost 68-0 to Tennessee in 1903.

I mean not a lotta middle ground when everyone runs the same offense. You could either stop the run(teams couldnt score) or you couldnt and teams ran all over you.

Vanderbilt was a machine in the early 1900’s. Between 1904 and 1909 they saddled Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Tennessee their worst losses of all time. And the 1917 Georgia Tech team was a juggernaut, handing both Vandy and Auburn their worst losses. Vandy also gave Georgia their worst beating ever during WWII.

Without see this, who would have guessed Vandy and Georgia Tech were responsible for over half of the original SEC school’s worst blowouts?

Going into a list like this blind you'd naturally expect Alabama, as the most successful program in conference history, to have been the team dishing out most of these beatings, but nope. It's actually the (arguably) least successful program in the conference that has administered most of these epic asswhippings, including the one to Alabama, because of course it is.

Before WWI Vandy was the dominate program in the Southern Conference. Between 1901 and 1917 they won the conference title 10 out of those 17 seasons.

I know State's is wrong. The older fans on the State boards used to talk about a time in the late 60's when Houston beat us by more than 70.

Vandy was kicking some asses in the early 1900s.

What date is considered the genesis of the "modern era"? I mean, 12 of the 16 occurred before 1986 and 11 of 16 occurred in the first 20 years of the 20th century.

The four that occurred since 1986 (OU, Mizzou, UK and aTm) are the ones who should be embarrassed.

Bumbles were damn good back when they were in the SEC. Not so good since they left, furthering the SEC mystique that this is the conference you don't leave.

They were good for like 3 seasons

1898: 4-0
1899: 12-0
1900: 6-1-1

They were 18-18-1 as a program from 1891-1897... then in 1898 they started their brief period of dominance, winning SIAA Conference titles in 1898 and 1899.

They stayed decent through about 1910 but only won one other conference title (1909). By 1911 their program had started to come off the rails.

I still say Vandy was the first true Southern football power. Vandy won Conference titles in 1895, 1897, 1901, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1915, 1921, 1922, and 1923.... 14 in all.

Head-to-head, Vandy went 8-2 against Sewannee in their first 10 meetings.

Sewannee gained the upper hand from 1898-1902 going 3-0-1 against Vandy. This is the period that Sewannee was at their program high.

But in 1903, Vandy would go on to win the next 5 games to start an era in which they'd go 32-3-2 in the rivalry until it abruptly ended in 1944. They've never played since.

In my mind, post WW2 is that I consider the modern era. But I can see an argument for starting it in 1998 since that's when the true Playoff era began... probably need more time but 50 years from now I think we'll say '98 was the start of the modern era. Probably not there yet.
