When is the last time we beat 4 top 25 teams in a season?
- Thread starter MSUGUY
- Start date
They are now, and they probably will be at the end of the season, which is all that actually matters.
I can answer that. Never.
In fact, we’ve never beaten three ranked teams in one year according to Sports Reference.
Auburn wasn’t ranked. They started the season ranked but went 0-6 in the SEC.
After 2014 we were told ad nausea that only post season rankings count.
We did beat three, all in the top 10, in 2014, at the time the games were played.
It doesn't matter where they were ranked when we beat them, only where they are today. NC State may drop out this week. Auburn will likely drop out because they have another loss coming. Kentucky may or may not stay ranked. A&M might fall out with another loss.
But that's correct.
It's kind of a trap, because losing to Mississippi State hurts teams in the eyes of the poll voters. But only the final poll tells what the actual top 25 teams are. Imagine a team that starts out ranked but ends up going 4-8. Why should the first couple of teams to beat them get a "top 25" but not the ones who beat them late?
