I know a 10-win season isn't what it used to be, but it's still a significant milestone for a team hoping to compete for a championship.
* Bama is tied with Oklahoma for most 10 win season with 42.
* Bama is tied with Florida State for most consecutive 10-win season with 14 (no doubt Alabama will take the lead here next year).
But here's the most amazing 10-win related stat for the state of Alabama...and it relates to Auburn. Auburn is considered an all-time top 10 - 15 program, yet they only have 14 10-win seasons. And more shocking, they only have ONE back-to-back 10 win seasons ('88 - '89). Think about that. Alabama is on a streak of consecutive 10-win seasons longer than Auburn's total count.
This shows you how consistently good Alabama is, and how inconsistently good Auburn is. Auburn has a good to great season here and there, but it doesn't have consistency or continuity.
