Title: Re: "SEC Football by the Numbers: Week 5 -- Alabama's three-touchdown dominance" Post by: BAMAWV on September 29, 2012, 05:56:59 AM Quote 7 Wins in a row with a margin of victory of at least 21 points by Alabama -- one short of the SEC record for consecutive victories by 21 or more points. Florida won eight consecutive games by at least 21 points in 2008. Three other SEC teams have streaks of seven games -- Vanderbilt in 1948, Georgia in 1971 and Auburn in 1986. Alabama's streak started last season with a 45-21 victory over Georgia Southern and continued through a 42-14 win over Auburn and a 21-0 victory over LSU in the BCS championship game. The Crimson Tide continued the streak in the 2012 season by beating Michigan 41-14, Western Kentucky 35-0, Arkansas 52-0 and Florida Atlantic 40-7. Florida's record streak in 2008 started after a 31-30 loss to Ole Miss. The Gators beat Arkansas 38-7, LSU 51-21, Kentucky 63-5, Georgia 49-10, Vanderbilt 42-14, South Carolina 56-6, The Citadel 70-19 and Florida State 45-15 before a 31-20 win over Alabama in the SEC championship game ended the run. |
