1. UF
2. UF
6. LSU
Whoops, I though #1 was longest streak without being shut out.

Nah. I tried to make it a point to not have all of the correct answers be Alabama.

1. Longest streak of shutout wins? (This is also the longest such streak in the nation) Tennessee, I think it was 17 straight.
2. Longest home winning streak? Bama...something like 55 or 60 games, ended in the Perkins era.
That's all I can remember

Probably Tennessee.

Tennessee in either '40 or '51.
No clue about the rest.

Tennessee is correct for #1. 17 is extremely close to the streak number... it was 15 from 1938-1939.
I think the one a lot of people will debate is the 2nd question. Bama's home win streak is a bit convoluted. Some say they were on a 57 game home winning streak from 1963-1982. Some say that is incorrect because Missouri beat them at Legion Field in 1975.
To be honest, I'm not really going to make a decision on that... I'll just say that there is a 2nd team that I was looking for. But it isn't Florida. Florida had the 3rd longest.
Correct on #1, #3 and #7.

The 57 game streak was only at Bryant-Denny. Missouri in 1975 wasn't Alabama's only loss at Legion Field during that period by a long shot. I remember losses to LSU, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, USC and Auburn as well.

Yea. That’s why I’m looking for a different team. Alabama played most of its prominent games at Legion Field because of its capacity. Some publications consider this a “neutral” site. Like I said, it’s convoluted. The next team played all of its games in one home stadium. I don’t want to debate intricacies.

Wasn't it just the Iron Bowl that was neutral there?
Y'all also played some home games in Mobile.

#2 - you NEVER leave the state for a non-conf. game!

7. Longest streak of 21+ point wins?
Answer: Florida, (anyone want to take a stab at the streak length?)
I'm guessing something like 12 games from 2007-2008.
Posted on 7/10/18 at 5:28 pm to dawgdayafternoon
Very close.
It was 8 during the 2008 season.

Ah, I wasn't taking the Ole Miss loss into account. That team was ridiculously good.
Posted on 7/10/18 at 5:35 pm to Sean Bean
Is Ole Miss one of the bowl record teams?

I would say A&M, but you said home WIN streak not home unbeaten streak.
From 1996-2000, A&M won 22 straight at home.
From 1989-1995: A&M went 35 straight games without losing (1 tie in 1990). The overall win streak was 31 from 1990-1995.
Just think about it for a second. In the entirety of the 90's (1990-1999), A&M went 55-4-1 at home. R.C. Slocum was nearly fired after losing 3 home games in the 1996 season.
A&M's virtual invincibility at home was broken in October of 2000 when a winless Colorado team beat A&M at Kyle.

You are correct good sir. I have A&M on a 31 game home winning streak from 1990-1995. I triple checked to make sure, but I could have glanced over something and missed it.
Florida had a streak of 30 from ‘94-‘99
