Crazy stat that their last win against AP number 1 was 1985. They are 2-17 all time against the number 1 team.

In contrast, there is only one team with a winning record against AP number 1 teams (11-7), if anyone wants to venture a guess as to who that is.

In their defense, a good chunk of those were probably against Alabama.

And four of those seven losses were when we beat ourselves.

I’d bet almost every team has a terrible record against the number 1 team in the country

I’m going to guess Notre Dame because they used to play USC every year and also played Michigan a lot. Maybe a couple of post war Army or Navy teams thrown in there?
Does that record include bowl games?

1985 Sugar Vols! Defeated #1 Auburn early in season. If not for the two ties, probably would have won National Championship considering their dominating win over Miami in New Orleans. Only loss was to a 9-1-1 Florida, which would have won SEC if not for probation.

Another amazing stat brought to you by college football's #1 all-time program...the Alabama Crimson Tide.

I'm still upset that Tennessee beat #1 LSU in 1959.
