I'm still occasionally surprised by the superlatives from Nick Saban's tenure.

With the current state of college football, we might continue to look back on his accomplishments in this era and realize they were actually quite astounding.

Shoutout to the programs with a winning record.

The Big 6 died with the Tennessee football program in the 20th century.

Big 4 and nothing more.

Is this top 25 at the time of the game or final AP ranking?

Individual SEC Team Playoff Records:

Alabama Crimson Tide: 9–6 (3 national titles)
Georgia Bulldogs: 5–3 (2 national titles)
LSU Tigers: 2–0 (1 national title)
Ole Miss Rebels: 2–1
Texas Longhorns: 2–2
Tennessee Volunteers: 0–1
Texas A&M Aggies: 0–1
Oklahoma Sooners: 0–5

Other SEC Teams (Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Vanderbilt): 0–0

Hopefully this year someone breaks through and wins a NC.

These are flawed because they are using time of game ranking instead of final season ranking.... it significantly over-inflates the actual number of ranked opponents played by each team.

For example, Alabama is getting credit for beating a #16 ranked Arkansas team in 2016 that went on to finish 7-6 and nowhere near the Top 25. Why should Bama get credit for playing the overrated Hogs early but Missouri get zero credit for beating the same team late in the season?

The actual totals for each team using FINAL season rankings:

.719- Alabama (46-18)
.650- Georgia (39-21)
.491- Oklahoma (27-28)
.404- Ole Miss (19-28)
.382- LSU (21-34)
.333- Texas (18-36)
.234- Texas A&M (11-36)
.229- Tennessee (11-37)
.216- Florida (11-40)
.211- Auburn (12-45)
.180- S Carolina (9-41)
.163- Kentucky (7-36)
.143- Arkansas (7-42)
.132- Missouri (5-33)
.125- Miss State (6-42)
.048- Vanderbilt (2-40)

Let it be known that we’ve also fired 3 coaches in the CFP Era and are still on the right side.
