This is a remarkable streak that will likely never be seen again. If the Tide defeats Southern Miss on Saturday, they will have gone 100-0 against teams ranked outside the Top 25. The streak goes back to December 30, 2007, when Alabama defeated Colorado in the Independence Bowl. The last unranked team to defeat Alabama was UL-Monroe on November 17, 2007.

There's nothing insecure about reveling in the accomplishments of your favorite team. Are we being insecure when we celebrate our independence from Britain every Fourth of July?

Why does GOAT Alabama have 6 losses to lowly Southern Miss?

Because you drink your own urine.

I know why they got one of those losses... Brett Favre.

Why did you fire the best coach your school has ever had? How is that working out now?

To be honest, LSU fans are not the most insecure. They are the most butt hurt fans of all time though.

Hmm. This is a very good point.

ETA. I got to witness that 21-0 debacle in person. NOT good times.

Everything I read says 6 losses, but I can only find evidence of 5. Can someone point me to the other game? These are the ones I found:
USM won in back to back seasons in 1953 and 1954. LINK That website shows 6 Southern Miss wins, but one of the ones they have labeled as a Southern Miss win was actually a Bama 40-0 victory in 1993.
Here's a link with some more flavor behind the other 3 wins I could find: LINK
quote:
Alabama Crimson Tide vs Southern Miss – Nov. 13, 1982
In Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant’s last game played in Tuscaloosa, a 6-3, Southern Miss team beat the No. 13 ranked Crimson Tide, 38-29. Alabama had not lost in Tuscaloosa since 1963; a 57-game winning streak. The Golden Eagles scored 21 points in the first quarter and led 35-14 in the third quarter. The Tide fought back and cut the lead to six in the fourth quarter, but USM scored again putting the game away.
quote:
Alabama Crimson Tide vs Southern Miss – Sept. 8, 1990
NFL great, Brett Favre was a senior quarterback for Southern Miss. He had been in an automobile accident during the summer and was not expected to play against the Crimson Tide. He started the game. The Golden Eagles won 27-24 on a 52-yard field goal, late in the fourth quarter. It was the first loss for Gene Stallings in his first game as the Crimson Tide Head Coach.
quote:
A most embarrassing Alabama Football loss vs. USM – Sept. 16, 2000
In 1999, a Mike Dubose led Crimson Tide, won the SEC Championship. In 2000, the Tide was ranked No. 15 and the Golden Eagles were ranked No. 25. No offense is intended to any player on the 2000 Crimson Tide roster, but a listless Crimson Tide had four turnovers and not much offense, losing 21-0.
After losing to UCF in October, the Crimson Tide was 3-5. Three days after the UCF loss, Mike Dubose was fired. Three more games and three more losses left the Crimson Tide at 3-8 for the season.
Bama was also playing USM when Tyrone Prothro made his highlight reel catch behind the defender's helmet.
ETA: USM also came the closest, along with Tennessee and Florida, to beating Gene Stallings' undefeated 1992 team. They lost 17-10.

It really is an incredible streak
Posted on 9/23/21 at 6:53 pm to RollTide1987
We had a nice one that lasted from 1990 (lost to unranked Washington in a Dec 89 bowl) until losing to Moo St in 2000.

When was the last time LSU lost to an unranked team? Sept. 4, 2021, about 2 weeks ago?
