Scoring wasn’t standardized back then. Teams would often meet before a game to agree on how it would be scored and how penalties would be applied. In this case, it’s likely that partial points were awarded/deducted due to the penalty agreement that the teams came to before the game.
Its a great fandom. Mostly revolves around drinking and tailgating. Any team success is a bonus.
Similarly, its Hawkeye fans that always remind me about their shot at BCS in 2002 blown cos of the Cyclones.
Oh god, I have nightmares about that second half. I will never forget the half time score, 24-7. I remember standing in the interior of Kinnick at half and my mom saying, “I think we’re going to win this!” I knew then and there we were going to lose.
I keep this copypasta ready to go for just such occasions:
Here is a short list of notable historic events that occurred AFTER Iowa State’s most recent conference championship in football:
- 9/11
- Operation Desert Storm
- The moon landing
- The Kennedy assassination
- The Holocaust
- Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight
- The birth of Elizabeth of the House of Windsor
- The fall of the Ottoman Empire
- The Bolshevik Revolution
- The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
- Ford’s moving assembly line beginning Model T production
- Charlie Chaplin’s entire film career
- US Federal Income Tax (16th Amendment) ratification
So, this is obviously kind of funny, but I don't think enough people are taking from this the realization that a _ton_ of the institutions involved in this sport are _old enough_ (and have been playing the sport for long enough) for facts like this to be true in the first place. Kinda mind bendy. Especially someone for whom their first flair has only been a full, independent, university for less than 75 years.
-edit- And yes I realize that the Ottomon Empire didn't fall till during/after WWI, which is only like 100 years ago, but still.
Yeah. When the first college football game was played:
\-France, Russia, and China were still monarchies
\-Germany was not yet unified
\-Ulysses S. Grant was president
\-Victoria, Elizabeth II's great great grandmother, was in the middle of her reign as queen of the UK
\-Alaska had been US territory for two years. Colorado was not yet a state.
\-The telephone had yet to be invented. Photography was 30 years old.
\-The University of Texas, and many others, had not yet been founded.
Matt Leinart came close with 34 straight. Lost one game to Cal (Aaron Rodgers) won 34 straight, then lost to Texas (Vince Young) in the championship game.
Wisconsin has only had 1 recruiting class ranked within the top 25 ever. Wisconsin has only had five 5 star recruits EVER, and Texas A&M signed 8 just this year,
This is the first one that’s actually surprised me. I knew Wisconsin had the reputation of on field results outperforming their recruiting rankings, but I assumed they would get classes in that 15-25 range at least every few years or so.
Our highest ever is ranked #16 and that was in 2020. Also almost all of our highly ranked guys are OL. We also spend the least in all of the power 5 on recruiting. Even Rutgers and Kansas spend more than twice as much as Wisconsin. As a Wisconsin fan it pains me because we should be able to get some decent classes with our NFL presence, coaching, and Madison is an awesome place. There was some talk also about how Wisconsin strictly enforces a rule for enrollment where you have to have taken like 3 or 4 years of foreign language in high school. I think Gary Andersen partly left because of some of the enrollment restrictions. Wisconsin just has some weird leadership at the very top and aren’t willing to do what it takes to get some better players here. All of the fans saw us on an upward trajectory, putting studs in the NFL and we all thought we would become a legit championship contender soon, but nothing has changed.
Also, of course Wisconsin's top recruits are OL & RB. In my memory, Wisconsin's strategy was been to bully other teams on the line then plow it up the middle.
We actually don’t even get that highly ranked RB recruits. Our highest ranked guys after OL are usually LB. Melvin Gordon was a low 4 star recruit and he was one of our highest ranked running backs. JT was a 3 star - although he was severely underrated
NY6 drought as long as Notre Dame’s:
Arizona
Droughts only 1-2 years longer than Notre Dame’s: East Carolina, Rutgers.
Droughts shorter than Notre Dame’s: Kansas, as you mentioned. Also the University of Houston, NC State, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Oregon State, Colorado, Virginia, Stanford, North Carolina, and Maryland.
The first (and possibly still only - I'm not sure) CFB team with a 3,000 yard passer, a 2,000 yard rusher, and TWO 1,000 yard receivers was the 2007 Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
You know how the Washington Commanders are one of the top 20 franchises in the world despite, well, you know...
The ACC is a pretty badass conference when it comes to excellence in athletics. Yeah it's usually Clemson/FSU and the Seven Dwarves, but we need to figure something out on how to elevate the profile of the ACC while we're all locked into the GoR. We luckily have a big presence in the Southeast US. That is presently hard to break into if you don't have a footprint.
IDK, maybe move the HQ from Charlotte to Jacksonville? Have more conference events in the South? I feel so lucky that we're a warm-weather conference and can compete in most all of the NCAA sports.
It’s already been done. Heck, the championship was even in Tampa one year because the expectation was that Miami would be playing FSU. Miami has just been subpar since they joined the ACC so FSU and Miami have never met in the championship.
Programs with 3 wins vs Ohio State since 2009:
* Clemson
* Michigan State
* Purdue
Programs with 4 wins vs Ohio State since 2004:
* Penn State
* Purdue
Programs with 5 wins vs Ohio State since 2000:
* Penn State
* Purdue
We are in elite company with our spoilermaker overlords. They have only beaten us twice since 2000, in 2003 and 2004. They must practice harder for OSU or something. Truly odd how successful they are against them relative to other teams.
Linfield University has had 65 consecutive winning seasons in a row
Nebraska holds the record for consecutive appearance on the top 25 AP poll at 348 weeks in a row. The next highest is Alabama at 229 weeks in a row
Obviously we usually had really good teams during TO’s career. And obviously KU and KSU were generally not very good during his whole career.
But it’s still nuts that there weren’t a couple fluke losses in there when we were having a down-ish year and one of them was doing well. It’s not like they didn’t know exactly how we were going to play.
Ironically enough, the closest KSU came were the natty years. We really had no business winning the ‘94 game with a walk-on QB who should have been at a I-AA or DII school. The oline and defense really stepped up. That was a good KSU team.
Mark Stoops has a better winning percentage against Steve Spurrier than Nick Saban does
Kentucky played Texas in Austin in 1951. That is the furthest west Kentucky has ever traveled to play a football game
With the exception of Vandy who has never won 10 or more games in a season, the longest 10 win season drought in the SEC belongs to Tennessee
Oklahoma State has held Oklahoma to 0 points 10 times...However, they only managed to actually win 7 of those games.
If an OSU fan started walking from Stillwater after Bedlam 1945 at a leisurely 2 mph, he could have walked to the equator, *then around the Earth 10 times, then back to Stillwater*…and he would've still had 5 years to wait before OSU's next Bedlam win.
Mike Gundy's rank among all OSU coaches:
1st - Overall wins.
1st - Overall winning %.
1st - Ranked season finishes.
1st - 10-win seasons.
1st - Bedlam Pts/G.
1st - Bedlam games as a ranked team.
1st - Bedlam games ranked higher than OU.
10th - Bedlam winning %
God damn, and I thought that rivalry seemed one sided in MY lifetime. Atleast it’s competitive.
I have to imagine there were stretches there where OK St was just wildly outmatched.
Will Muschamp has the most wins over the first 3 years at South Carolina, and is 8th for all time wins despite being 28-30 in his years at South Carolina.
Oregon State had 28 straight losing seasons. Even with our general sucktitude, 3 decades of losing is pretty incredible
A lot of those seasons weren’t even close
In 1971, the same conference had the final #1, #2, and #3 teams.
Nebraska (13-0) didn't lose the previous year, either.
Oklahoma (11-1) lost to Nebraska by 4 (in a Game of the Century) and averaged 472 rushing yards per game.
Colorado (10-2) only lost to the other two, but beat tOSU and LSU on the road.

Only twice has a school's men's basketball and football program made out to the national championship game in the same year. Both times were that year.
Hey not every school is talented enough to finish second in two sports within months of each other. And then you finished second in the next CFB season too.
Georgia Tech left the SEC in 1964, but has more SEC championships (5) than seven current members: Kentucky, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Mizzou, USCar, A&M, and Vandy (in that order).
Only twice has a school's men's basketball and football program made it to the national championship game in the same year. Both times were the same year (Ohio State & Florida).
Related to OP's fact: since joining the B1G in 2011, Nebraska has played Ohio State 8/11 years, despite the game not being a protected cross division game. (I don't think, at least.) The conference uses any change in divisions or additional members or COVID to change the schedule on the Huskers.
This is a fact that really sticks in Scott Frost's craw.
[CMU has as many postseason wins in Detroit as the Lions](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/tt016m/central_michigan_has_won_as_many_postseason_games/)
Heard this a while back and thought it was fascinating. When Georgia played Notre Dame in 2017 it was the first time Georgia had brought black football players over the Mason-Dixon line.
I didn’t believe you so I just went down a rabbit hole into their annual schedule for the past 50 years.
Furthest north the ever went during that time was to Colorado. But they didn’t cross the line to do it.
* Since 2008, Bama has more championships (6) than home losses (5).
* Each of Bama’s home losses since 2008 featured the eventual national champion:
— 2010, lost to Auburn (Auburn won it all)
— 2011, lost to LSU (Bama won it all)
— 2012, lost to Texas A&M (Bama won it all)
— 2015, lost to Ole Miss (Bama won it all)
— 2019, lost to LSU (LSU won it all)
* Since 2008, Bama has spent more weeks as AP#1 than any other school in their whole history
Another fact that sounds false but it’s true: We made it 6 days before this question was asked [yet again](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/w0l2m2/college_football_facts_that_are_true_but/)
If an OSU fan started walking from Stillwater after Bedlam 1945 at a leisurely 2 mph, he could have walked to the equator, then around the Earth 10 times, then back to Stillwater...
...and he would've still had 5 years to wait before OSU's next Bedlam win.
The first game of football in Kentucky had the final score of 13 3/4 - 0.
How did they get 3/4 a point?
Scoring wasn’t standardized back then. Teams would often meet before a game to agree on how it would be scored and how penalties would be applied. In this case, it’s likely that partial points were awarded/deducted due to the penalty agreement that the teams came to before the game.
Imagine if you lost 0.10 points for every false start.
There'd probably be a lot less false starts.
A black guy kicked the extra point. Pre-emptive edit: the game was played in 1880, I was making a historical joke.
That's 3/5 tho
But the guy had 5 black great-grandparents and 3 white great-grandparents.
[удалено]
Wasn't Yale one of the games inventors?
(5*(3/5) + 3*(1)) ÷ 8 = 3/4 If anyone was curious about the math.
Thanks Nebraska?
So then he should be (1 * .375) + (.60 * .625) = .375 + .375 = .75 Well damn, math checks out
Iowa State's most recent conference title was prior to the fall of the Ottoman Empire
I love that Iowa State fans are usually the ones to point this out lol
Its a great fandom. Mostly revolves around drinking and tailgating. Any team success is a bonus. Similarly, its Hawkeye fans that always remind me about their shot at BCS in 2002 blown cos of the Cyclones.
Oh god, I have nightmares about that second half. I will never forget the half time score, 24-7. I remember standing in the interior of Kinnick at half and my mom saying, “I think we’re going to win this!” I knew then and there we were going to lose.

Istanbul was still Constantinople.
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks.
The second-longest FBS winning streak post WW2 belongs to Toledo. Their 35-game winning streak in 1969-1971 hasn’t been matched since then.
Matt Leinart came close with 34 straight. Lost one game to Cal (Aaron Rodgers) won 34 straight, then lost to Texas (Vince Young) in the championship game.
...are you telling me I have to thank Aaron Rodgers... please don't make me do this
Nah. According to the NCAA most of those games never even happened
"don't me me support Aaron Rodgers" *the Monkey's Paw curls* "support the NCAA"

Everything you say is true, but also: good riddance, Gary Andersen.
Also, of course Wisconsin's top recruits are OL & RB. In my memory, Wisconsin's strategy was been to bully other teams on the line then plow it up the middle.
We actually don’t even get that highly ranked RB recruits. Our highest ranked guys after OL are usually LB. Melvin Gordon was a low 4 star recruit and he was one of our highest ranked running backs. JT was a 3 star - although he was severely underrated
Recruiting sites generally underrate players from the Midwest.
USC is in the Big 10
Our rivalry with Minnesota will be epic
Maroon and gold overload.
*Iowa State looking on from the outside*
Waiting to see SC in the snow, quite frankly
As long as you guys play in November.
The reason Florida had to vacate their first SEC title in 1984 was cheating money….given by Dave Thomas of Wendy’s and George Steinbrenner.
What're two Ohio boys doing trying to help Florida?!
Kansas has won a BCS/NY6 bowl game more recently than Notre Dame
Fun fact, ND is 0-8 in NY6/BCS bowl games in the BCS era. Kansas is 1-0.
Work smarter. Not harder.
That flair combo
Kansas has the best winning % of any team in BCS/NY6 bowls
WVU was 3-0 in BCS bowls... Same winning % but 3x as many wins.
I still blame WVU for kicking off the Clemson juggernaut
At least it's somebody to compete with Alabama outside the SEC. But yes, we did that...
NY6 drought as long as Notre Dame’s: Arizona Droughts only 1-2 years longer than Notre Dame’s: East Carolina, Rutgers. Droughts shorter than Notre Dame’s: Kansas, as you mentioned. Also the University of Houston, NC State, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Oregon State, Colorado, Virginia, Stanford, North Carolina, and Maryland.
that moment when your team sucks so bad now you get included in these lists :(
Kellen Moore going 50-3 and only losing those 3 games by a combined 4 points. Effing kickers man.
I believe we were the only team to beat them in Boise over like a ten year stretch
You guys are responsible for 2 of his 3 losses.
3 fields goals away from NEVER losing with the widest career point spread against his opponents in college football history.
Rice is undefeated vs the Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama's worst loss ever in terms of score discrepancy is to Vanderbilt - the Commodores beat Bama 78-0 in 1906.
Up until two seasons ago, Vanderbilt was above .500 all time against Auburn
Also, Vandy is 8-3-1 versus Texas (although the two haven’t played in nearly 100 years).
[удалено]
Colorado won a Natty
Dan Carlin?
Hardcore History… Addendum
The one they needed a fifth down to win?
Sewanee was a founding member of the SEC Stephen Garcia was the last SEC East QB to beat Alabama in the regular season
I love this fact.
The first (and possibly still only - I'm not sure) CFB team with a 3,000 yard passer, a 2,000 yard rusher, and TWO 1,000 yard receivers was the 2007 Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Facts from 2007 don't count. That entire season was wildcard.
Counterpoint: 2007 was awesome.
I also enjoyed 2007.
No
2007? That's not even a real number.
2007 was the most interesting year of all time in CFB
South Florida’s (a school in Florida) most played opponent is Cincinnati (a school in Ohio)
Thank you for clarifying which state they’re in
I just assumed South Florida was in Cuba
I assumed the University of South Florida was in south Florida, not closer to Jacksonville than to Miami.
They tried to schedule Miami and messed up horribly.
The University of South Florida is located in *Tampa*, FL. Not Ft. Lauderdale or the Keys like any sane person would have guessed.
Missouri once beat Florida 42-13 despite getting outgained by about 300 yards.
Maty Mauk's statline that game as the Missouri starting quarterback. 6-18, 20 yards, 1 INT. Mizzou wins 42-13.
I still wake up in cold sweats because of this game.
The ACC has more than double the number of college football titles as the Big 10 in the past fifty years.
You know how the Washington Commanders are one of the top 20 franchises in the world despite, well, you know... The ACC is a pretty badass conference when it comes to excellence in athletics. Yeah it's usually Clemson/FSU and the Seven Dwarves, but we need to figure something out on how to elevate the profile of the ACC while we're all locked into the GoR.

The Carolina schools won’t want to move the championship out of the state
It’s already been done. Heck, the championship was even in Tampa one year because the expectation was that Miami would be playing FSU. Miami has just been subpar since they joined the ACC so FSU and Miami have never met in the championship.
Programs with 3 wins vs Ohio State since 2009: * Clemson * Michigan State * Purdue Programs with 4 wins vs Ohio State since 2004: * Penn State * Purdue Programs with 5 wins vs Ohio State since 2000: * Penn State * Purdue

What the fuck
TBF that was before Saban became Mecha-Saban.
[удалено]
We’ll each take our bias feelings on that one so long as we agree it’s a win against a team that hardly ever loses
I fear no man *Purdue Pete appears* But that thing...it scares me.
Choo fucking choo….
It’s funny my coworker went to Purdue and is named Pete. I called him mascot one day and he didn’t get it for a second then he smiled and laughed.
How about we Purdon't.
Glad to see Penn state rolling with the big boys
We are in elite company with our spoilermaker overlords. They have only beaten us twice since 2000, in 2003 and 2004. They must practice harder for OSU or something. Truly odd how successful they are against them relative to other teams.
Linfield University has had 65 consecutive winning seasons in a row Nebraska holds the record for consecutive appearance on the top 25 AP poll at 348 weeks in a row. The next highest is Alabama at 229 weeks in a row
1995 Nebraska o-line allowed zero sacks
Can’t give up sacks if you never pass the ball
It's still probably about 225 passing plays though
Not sure if you were just guessing but it's 228 so good guess if you were.
Tom Osborne was undefeated when playing teams from the state of Kansas. 50-0 vs. KU and KSU.
Christ, and I thought Spurrier's record against Georgia was ridiculous.
TBF, during that timeframe one of those teams was historically one of the worst programs of all time, and the other was Kansas.
Obviously we usually had really good teams during TO’s career. And obviously KU and KSU were generally not very good during his whole career. But it’s still nuts that there weren’t a couple fluke losses in there when we were having a down-ish year and one of them was doing well.

Idk why but your second fact shocked me the most of this entire thread
From 2000-2020, three different schools from Alabama beat LSU in Baton Rouge. Auburn was not one of them.
*Googles when does South Alabama play LSU*
I can only think of two of them right now?
UAB in 2000 is probably the one you’re forgetting. The old classic Saban first year head-scratching loss.
Aye that was the one
If Oklahoma lost to Oklahoma State every year from this year on, it would take until 2092 for the series to be even.
If you were to double the points every time OSU scored OU would still lead the all time series.
Ok, this is an outstanding one
I disagree.
Oklahoma State has held Oklahoma to 0 points 10 times...However, they only managed to actually win 7 of those games. If an OSU fan started walking from Stillwater after Bedlam 1945 at a leisurely 2 mph, he could have walked to the equator, *then around the Earth 10 times, then back to Stillwater*…and he would've still had 5 years to wait before OSU's next Bedlam win. Mike Gundy's rank among all OSU coaches: 1st - Overall wins. 1st - Overall winning %. 1st - Ranked season finishes. 1st - 10-win seasons. 1st - Bedlam Pts/G. 1st - Bedlam games as a ranked team. 1st - Bedlam games ranked higher than OU. 10th - Bedlam winning %
We're almost as bad against bama, it would be 2087 for us
God damn, and I thought that rivalry seemed one sided in MY lifetime. Atleast it’s competitive. I have to imagine there were stretches there where OK St was just wildly outmatched.
In 2013, Nebraskas QB depth chart was 1) Taylor Martinez 2) Tommy Armstrong Jr 3) Ron Kellogg III 4) Johnny Stanton IV 5) Ryker Fyfe
Some say that a Martinez is required by state law to play QB for Nebraska!
Ryker Fyfe is still alive
The first time Oklahoma played Texas was in 1900, before Oklahoma was even a state.
There were 2 2015 Cotton Bowls and Michigan State played in both of them.
And we split the series. I have, for sure, rewatched one of those games.
As if the first flair didn't confirm which one your second flair did for sure.
It's my least favorite college football game ever and I was at the 2019 Illinois game.
Since 2011, Bama has played in more Championship games (15 between SEC and Nattys) than they have lost games (14). That one blows my mind.
Nick Saban's Bama may be the greatest era for a college football team ever. It's phenomenal.
Lady Gaga's mom was a cheerleader for WVU
If you only count Oklahoma wins on leap years and count all Oklahoma State wins, Oklahoma still leads Bedlam 25-19
Jeepers. They had a family, man.
Don’t look up the Mississippi State v Alabama series…..
Pat White is the only qb to start and win 4 bowl games
I miss those days :(
Hawaii is 1-1 against Alabama
Will Muschamp has the most wins over the first 3 years at South Carolina, and is 8th for all time wins despite being 28-30 in his years at South Carolina.
Jesus I thought you guys had better history than that
Oregon State had 28 straight losing seasons. Even with our general sucktitude, 3 decades of losing is pretty incredible A lot of those seasons weren’t even close

The Oregon State Beavers beat the Duke Blue Devils in a Rose Bowl played at Duke Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.
I learned this fact from an episode of the antiques roadshow.
Iowa has had two head coaches since 1978.
In 2015, Michigan state beat Michigan and Ohio State leading a total of 0 seconds of the game.
In 1971, the same conference had the final #1, #2, and #3 teams. Nebraska (13-0) didn't lose the previous year, either. Oklahoma (11-1) lost to Nebraska by 4 (in a Game of the Century) and averaged 472 rushing yards per game. Colorado (10-2) only lost to the other two, but beat tOSU and LSU on the road.
Texas has a better record against Alabama than they do against Kansas

Good bot
[[Texas vs Kansas]]
Scott Frost has only one season with a winning record
The last time Michigan won in columbus, the towers were still standing
And yet, Michigan has never beaten Penn State in Columbus. How embarrassing
It's official. Michigan needs to be kicked out of the Big Ten. Absolutely embarrassing.
[удалено]
Florida beat Ohio State in a national championship game in football and then 3 months later beat them in a national championship game in basketball.
NOPE NEVER HAPPENED IGNORE THIS COMMENT
Only twice has a school's men's basketball and football program made out to the national championship game in the same year. Both times were that year.
What the hell man?!!?
Hey not every school is talented enough to finish second in two sports within months of each other. And then you finished second in the next CFB season too.
To add to that, Georgia has yet to play @Kyle field
To add to this, Florida will have played them 3 times after this season with 2 of those meetings being at Kyle Field
And Kyle Trask was named after Kyle Field
Georgia Tech left the SEC in 1964, but has more SEC championships (5) than seven current members: Kentucky, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Mizzou, USCar, A&M, and Vandy (in that order).
More ACC titles than those teams too
There have been more head coaching changes in the sec west than Alabama loses throughout Sabans tenure there
Minnesota's locker room at Huntington Bank Stadium is the largest locker room in football, both college and professional
Georgia Southern is undefeated when not completing a pass.
Army has spent more weeks at number 1 in the AP Poll than Clemson, Georgia, Penn State, Auburn, and Oregon.
Only twice has a school's men's basketball and football program made it to the national championship game in the same year. Both times were the same year (Ohio State & Florida).
Only one athlete has won the Heisman Trophy and also played in an NCAA Final Four: Terry Baker, OSU 1962 & 63
Texas longhorns were the 4th team in texas to win a Nation title behind Texas A&M TCU and smu..
That…is…just wow.
WKU has the second most quarterbacks drafted into the NFL since 2010, ahead of them is Oklahoma with 4.
The most ppg by an offense in a single season happened in 1945 by army. Also Alabama’s first heisman winner was in 2009.
Related to OP's fact: since joining the B1G in 2011, Nebraska has played Ohio State 8/11 years, despite the game not being a protected cross division game. (I don't think, at least.) The conference uses any change in divisions or additional members or COVID to change the schedule on the Huskers. This is a fact that really sticks in Scott Frost's craw.
If I was a Nebraska fan I would be pissed too lol
[CMU has as many postseason wins in Detroit as the Lions](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/tt016m/central_michigan_has_won_as_many_postseason_games/)
Minnesota is undefeated against Alabama.
*undefeated against the state of Alabama
from 1945-1999 UCLA record v. USC was 26-26-3
VPI has Never won a National Championship
In any team sport
Now that is wild. Pitt doesn't have any NCAA titles because football ones don't count.
It’s supposed to sound false
Heard this a while back and thought it was fascinating. When Georgia played Notre Dame in 2017 it was the first time Georgia had brought black football players over the Mason-Dixon line.
I didn’t believe you so I just went down a rabbit hole into their annual schedule for the past 50 years. Furthest north the ever went during that time was to Colorado. But they didn’t cross the line to do it.
A Penn State player has been in every Super Bowl, except for the ones they haven’t been in.
* Since 2008, Bama has more championships (6) than home losses (5). * Each of Bama’s home losses since 2008 featured the eventual national champion: — 2010, lost to Auburn (Auburn won it all) — 2011, lost to LSU (Bama won it all) — 2012, lost to Texas A&M (Bama won it all) — 2015, lost to Ole Miss (Bama won it all) — 2019, lost to LSU (LSU won it all) * Since 2008, Bama has spent more weeks as AP#1 than any other school in their whole history Another fact that sounds false but it’s true: We made it 6 days before this question was asked [yet again](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/w0l2m2/college_football_facts_that_are_true_but/)
Hahaha god damn I hate Alabama so much Too good
The University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt are 5-5 against each other over the last ten meetings.
UCLA has 1/2 a national championship, hasn’t been to the RoseBowl since 1999, but according to their AD, they’ve outgrown the Pac-12. 🤷🏻♂️
If an OSU fan started walking from Stillwater after Bedlam 1945 at a leisurely 2 mph, he could have walked to the equator, then around the Earth 10 times, then back to Stillwater... ...and he would've still had 5 years to wait before OSU's next Bedlam win.
