28 Consecutive regular-season games have been won by Georgia, the third-longest streak in SEC history.

The only other regular-season winning streak in the SEC that stretched longer than Georgia’s current one reached 29 games, achieved by Alabama between a 17-10 loss to Auburn on Nov. 24, 2007, and a 35-21 loss to South Carolina on Oct. 9, 2010. Georgia would tie Alabama’s streak by beating Ball State on Saturday.

57 Consecutive non-conference regular-season games have been won by Alabama — the longest streak in the nation during the SEC era. The Crimson Tide’s most recent loss in a non-conference regular-season game came on Nov. 17, 2007, when Alabama fell to Louisiana-Monroe 21-14. Since that loss, the Tide has run off 43 victories against non-conference opponents in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama has the nation’s longest such active streak, with Oregon next at 31 in a row. Alabama’s home winning streak against non-conference opponents is the third-longest in SEC history. LSU won 49 in a row between a 13-10 loss to UAB on Sept. 23, 2000, and a 24-21 loss to Troy on Sept. 30, 2017, and Tennessee won 44 in a row between a 14-6 loss to Chattanooga on Nov. 8, 1958, and a 17-17 tie with UCLA on Sept. 7, 1974. Alabama will try to extend its streaks when Texas visits Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

60 Years since Furman defeated an SEC opponent, with the Paladins set to play South Carolina on Saturday. Since a 14-13 victory over Vanderbilt on Sept. 21, 1963, Furman has gone 0-8 versus SEC opponents, including losses to the Gamecocks in 2010 and 2014. Saturday’s game will be the 50th between South Carolina and Furman, although only the third since 1982, when the Paladins posted a 28-23 victory over the Gamecocks. South Carolina leads the series 28-20-1.

67 Years since the previous time that Ole Miss and Tulane squared off as ranked teams, with the No. 20 Rebels and No. 24 Green Wave set to square off on Saturday. On Oct. 16, 1956, No. 19 Tulane upended No. 6 Ole Miss 10-3 in an SEC game in New Orleans. The teams have met 35 times since that contest, and while Ole Miss has been ranked for 10 of them, Tulane wasn’t ranked for any of them. The Rebels have won 12 in a row in the series, with the Green Wave’s most recent victory coming by a 14-9 score on Nov. 5, 1988, in Oxford. The winning streak has pushed Ole Miss’ lead in the series to 44-28.
