Wow! I would have thought Oregon would have been in there as well.

Wow! I would have thought Oregon would have been in there as well.

I don't see how they can't be on the list. They've won 10 games a season since 2008 and have only lost a game early on in 2009 when they dropped the first game of the season with Boise State (who finished 14-0 that season.)

I got curious so I looked.

Why didn't they just say there has been ONLY ONE in the past five years? Bama's string of 81 started with the preseason #24 ranking in 2008. They have been out of the Top 10 only six of the 81 rankings. The first three in 2008 and three in 2010. Bama has been ranked #1 twenty six of the 81 rankings.

Oregon's streak started with the fourth week of 2009.

Yup, kinda hard to forget the Oregon @ Boise State game...thanks to the knock out at the end. Still makes me chuckle thinking about that kid from Boise State wanting to stir the pot and got dropped like a sack of potatoes.

Nice pun at the end there.
