This is kinda misleading. We haven’t played a ton of teams that finished the year top 10 in that span other than Notre Dame in ‘19, Tennessee in ‘22, and Ole Miss & Mizzou in ‘23
I went pretty in depth on this in the fall LINK
Hasn’t been updated since October but here’s the data:
Since 2017
Overall
1. Alabama: 80-9 (.899)
2. Georgia: 79-10 (.888)
3. LSU: 59-25 (.702)
4. Kentucky: 52-30 (.634)
5. Texas A&M: 50-29 (.633)
6. Florida: 49-32 (.605)
7. Auburn: 47-34 (.580)
8. Miss St: 46-36 (.561)
9. Ole Miss: 43-35 (.551)
10. Mizzou: 43-36 (.544)
11. Tennessee: 42-36 (.538)
12. South Carolina: 39-40 (.493)
13. Arkansas: 29-49 (.372)
14. Vanderbilt: 23-54 (.299)
At Home
1. Georgia: 39-1 (.975)
2. Alabama: 38-2 (.950)
3. LSU: 33-7 (.825)
4. Auburn: 33-10 (.767)
5. Florida: 32-10 (.762)
6. Kentucky: 33-12 (.733)
7. Texas A&M: 32-12 (.727)
8. Mizzou: 31-15 (.674)
9. Miss St: 31-15 (.674)
10. Ole Miss: 29-15 (.659)
11. South Carolina: 27-16 (.628)
12. Tennessee: 28-17 (.622)
13. Arkansas: 21-23 (.477)
14. Vanderbilt: 16-27 (.372)
Road/Neutral
1. Alabama: 42-7 (.857)
2. Georgia: 40-9 (.816)
3. LSU: 26-18 (.591)
4. Texas A&M 18-17 (.514)
5. Kentucky: 19-18 (.513)
6. Florida: 17-22 (.436)
7. Tennessee: 14-19 (.424)
8. Miss St: 15-21 (.417)
9. Ole Miss: 14-20 (.412)
10. Auburn: 14-24 (.368)
11. Mizzou: 12-21 (.364)
12. South Carolina: 12-24 (.333)
13. Arkansas: 8-26 (.235)
14. Vanderbilt: 7-27 (.206)
Change in Win Pct
1. Auburn (+.399)
2. Florida (+.326)
3. Mizzou (+.310)
4. South Carolina (+.295)
5. Miss St (+.257)
6. Ole Miss (+.247)
7. Arkansas (+.242)
8. LSU (+.234)
9. Kentucky (+.220)
10. Texas A&M (+.213)
11. Tennessee (+.198)
12. Vanderbilt (+.166)
13. Georgia (+.159)
14. Alabama (+.093)
The above is an awful metric to evaluate this for a number of reasons. Obviously SOS is one factor. Rent-a-wins too. Also, in the case of the teams who have been elite in this span like Georgia and Alabama, the change in win pct can't be very high when the overall win pct is already .800+. We must go deeper.

Aggie must be killing it in neutral site games because they haven't won a road game vs a ranked team since 2014.
