Among the endless number of FBS matchups on offer this season, a full two dozen feature a combination where one team has won at least ten straight games over the other.

Of these, 21, or 88%, are in-conference matchups. All five of the Power leagues are represented as are the American and MAC. That leaves just the C-USA, Mountain West, and Sun Belt devoid of a double-digit streak.

The Big Ten leads the way with five lopsided combos and have two of the top three. The SEC is next with four (including the longest streak on the line in 2018) and the Big 12 and Pac-12 follow with three each. The ACC, American, and MAC all have two apiece.

Alabama-Tennessee (Saturday, Oct. 20, Knoxville, Tenn.)

Last loss: Oct. 21, 2006 (16-13) at Tennessee

The SEC didn’t do Tennessee any favors when it made Alabama its permanent cross-division rival. As mentioned above, the 2006 Tide were the last squad to play without Nick Saban on the sidelines. Tennessee, on the other hand, was fewer than three years away from the exit of Phillip Fulmer who would leave after the 2008 season. The Volunteers were ranked at a season-high No. 7 coming into the game vs. Alabama.

It must of come as a shock, as LSU won the first three meetings in the series by a combined score of 90-0 and the subsequent five by a margin of 256-0.
