These are each program's longest bowl streak. Not listing every bowl streak for each team. Note...some have multiples listed because their longest streak was the same number of seasons multiple times.

Glad we could help kick off Oklahoma's bowl streak for them back in 1999

Impressed that Or Miss had their impressive streak when there were only a handful of bowls. Depressed that we haven’t matched it in an era where everyone basically goes bowling every year.

Ironically enough...mubed.net does not list any consecutive bowl seasons for Vandy. I had to go to another source to find it.

OU got lucky last year at 6-6 and finished 6-7

The Ole Miss and Alabama streaks are really impressive. There were 12 or less bowls during those times.

It’s amazing that OM and MSU have had longer streaks than almighty Texas

Yea Alabama and OMs run back then is very impressive. Prestige mattered a lot more then too, bowl selection was very inconsistent. OM in 1960 went 5-5-1 but still made a bowl and finished ranked 20th in coaches poll.

Alabama's current bowl streak (20) would be #5 on that list (tied with LSU).
Interestingly enough, Nick Saban's current bowl streak is 23 (17 straight at Alabama, 5 straight at LSU, his final season at Michigan State), which would make him 4th.

If you're going to gloat...do it right. Alabama's current streak is 20 seasons (2004-2023)

Fair. I just presumed we didn't make it in 2006

I'll get right on fixing that.

Imma Dawg and the Dawgs 27yr streak is awesome, but the Bama 25yr streak from the 50's, 60's and early 70's is more impressive...
Any team with a pulse that can finish 6-6 and even 5-7 some years gets a bowl...
Not diminishing the Dawgs streak but they're kinda apples-oranges. Two different eras and less Bowls in the day...

Kind of wish they had a "classic era" vs "modern era" records list.
How the QB passer rating record was broken in 1980 by Jim McMahon with a 176.9 and lasted for 15 years.
Now the top 10 best QB rating seasons have occurred in the past 11 years. McMahon's record season is 44th.
Passer Rating - Single Season
Or how the record of "most games scoring a TD in a season" sits at 15 by Bryce Young and Derrick Henry, but you could not have HAD 15 games to score a TD until 2014 (barring a few exception).
Of course there'd be a lot of eras (the pre-bowl expansion era, the pre-BCS era, the pre-playoff era, etc.) - but it still feels like we lose a lot of context for records like these.

Southern teams had a bit of an advantage because most all of the bowls back then were in their back yard.
None of the "attempted" bowls during that Ole Miss stretch outside the south, Texas or California made it. Liberty Bowl moved to Memphis during that time.
In those days bowls needed to make sure that at least one team's fans would show up.
Furthermore, until 1975 neither the Big 10 nor the Pac 10 teams were available for the bowls besides the Rose.
the Bowl situation was a pretty sweet deal in those days for the SEC. Especially when you throw in the limited number of conference games the league played in those days.
