The number is conference wins.

Second, you're counting vacated wins.

ok thats the catch

Third, it clearly refers to conference records, which do not include championship game

---

why would the conference championship game not be considered a conference game? most consider it that in records

I assume you are being purposefully obtuse.

not at all

I didnt know saban had vacated wins.

They are considered postseason games and are counted in win totals, but are not considered conference games. If you look at their conference records in the record books, they do not count the Championship game toward the conference record.

The same is true of the Sugar Bowl games in 1953, 1960, 1964, all of which had two SEC teams. The last one in 1964 was Alabama over Ole Miss 12-7, which was a Bear Bryant win.

Regardless of all that, this is an interesting discussion, to say the least. Might be interesting to look at their respective records vs SEC teams including their time at A&M and Mich State including all postseason game and including vacated wins (which I think are generally stupid)

Apparently that was me since the graphic does specifically state it includes championship games.

SO it is the vacated games, which are kind of dumb IMO

Not to interrupt y'all's little spat but the graphic in the OP very specifically says it includes championship games.

Well, I missed that
