re: List of SEC programs with most 10+ wins that rank among nation's top 20 all-time

I’m not a huge fan of the 10+ win stat because it doesn’t factor SOS.

Boise State has 18 seasons of 10+ wins since 1996, yet you’d be hard-pressed to find 10 wins against ranked opponents during those 18 seasons.

I think the 10 win season has been diluted; as recently as the late 90's you only had 11 games. And going back just a few years earlier, there was no conference title game.

If you're 10-1, that's a special season, and you may be playing for a title in the poll era (meaning there's a good chance the national consensus is you're the best team).
Now if you're 10-2, that's a good solid season, but nothing historical.

I think the loss total (1 loss seasons) would be a far better indicator. Those are elite years. If you want to have "very good", go to 2 losses.
