29 teams in NCAA FBS/IA football have had winning streaks of 25 or more. (out of respect to those who really want to play without cheating, I ask that you don't post answers you looked up on the internet).
1. Of the SEC teams who played spoiler, which SEC team ended the longest streak? Kentucky. Kentucky was the biggest SEC spoiler. They ended a streak of 31 games by OU in 1950. Kind of surprised no Kentucky fan got this one. Oklahoma is recognized as national champion in that year. Kentucky now claims a share of the title that year as Sagarins computer rankings say they were the best.
2. Which SEC school played spoiler to two streaks on the list? The correct answer has been given. LSU ended a UCF streak at 25 games in the 2018 season and a Clemson streak at 29 games in the 2019 season.
3. Which SEC teams played spoiler to the longest winning streaks by an SEC school? There are two 28 game streaks by the same school but each was spoiled by a different SEC school. (this is an SEC team at the time of the streak, so you can't count OU or Texas)?
The answers here are Mississippi State in 1980 and Tennessee in 1993. Both teams ended 28 game winning streaks by Alabama.
Mississippi State beat Bama 6-3 in 1980.
Tennessee tied Alabama 17-17 in 1993.
The latter streak was not mentioned on the streak list. The reason why is Bama had to forfeit the wins and tie in 1993 due to Antonio Langham receiving improper benefits after signing with an agent before the season.

Yes, but there is no Bama 32 game streak in 1993. At least not consecutive streak in terms of any and all games. LSU is on the list twice for ending streaks. One is Clemson, who is the other? Both were in this century. The Clemson streak was 29, BTW. Clemson lost their final game of the 2017 season to Bama. Won every game in 2018 and all games until the CFP final in 2019. 29 straight games.

The answer is ucf . Lsu ended a long winning streak of theirs I believe.
Posted on 9/12/23 at 5:22 am to Tigerpride18
That's correct. UCF at 25 games in the 2018 season and Clemson at 29 games in the 2019 season.

PLOT TWIST/SECOND TRIVIA QUESTION!!!
Who are the only teams to beat Georgia the last time they played Georgia?
...All I can come up with in the last 20 years are Ole Miss, Boise State, UCF and Colorado, the final two of which are pretty unfortunate.
