🏈 Question of Historical Significance

[DustyG]

Alabama is currently 7-1 vs teams that are currently bowl eligible. MTSU can get their 6th win with a victory over North Texas or UTSA who have a combined 3-17 record. The Barn becomes bowl eligible with a win over Idaho. Assuming we win out, we could very easily finish the regular season with a 9-1 record vs 6+ win teams. I think it is unlikely that a single team has won as many games against that level of competition, but does anyone know or even know how to check?

I think we did it last year. All 8 regular season conference teams we played were bowl eligible if I recall, West VA played a bowl game, Mizzou played a bowl game as well and then OSU played us, too. So we were 9-1 regular season, 10-2 counting the SECCG and the bowl game.

I believe we were 8-1 last year during the regular season. None of Western Carolina, Southern Miss, or FAU went bowling.

Yeah, that's right.

Sure didn't do it in 2003. Bama played 11 teams that won 6+ games. Only UK at 4-8 and MSU at 2-10 failed to win 6.

9 of the 11 won 9+. 6 of the 9 won 10+. 3 of the 6 won 11+. 2 of the 3 won 12+. 1 of the 2 won 13!
