We've gotten several streak monkeys off our back this season (and added to a couple...) I'd like to compile a master list of all the streaks we have hanging over us so we can strike them from the record and put them in the past as we overcome them.

In this list, I'd like to include all streaks still active, as well as all streaks broken so far in the Butch Jones Era (2013 season and on). Please provide anything I have missed below! I want this to be community-fueled, so any comments or critiques about the way I'm presenting the data are encouraged as well. GO VOLS!

"Big win" and "over Vandy" is oxymoronic IMO. Those four words can't coexist.

Big in size, not in importance. Would you like me to change it from big to large? Those two words mean the same thing but carry different connotations. :)

Maybe you mean "lopsided" or "overwhelming" ... it's not the win that was big (or large), but the margin of victory in the score. That's what you mean, right?

the vandy win keeps (adds to) the consecutive wins streak, gets us to a winning SEC record and also helped get us back in the top 25, so I think it is big.

Gonna pull this one up again since Finebaum recently made an ass of himself. He posted UT being 0-24 against top 10 teams since 07. Everyone forgets in 2013 SCAR was ranked #9 in the coaches poll when we beat them. And seeing as how everyone wants to win the crystal ball (coaches' trophy) and this was a BCS year and the Coaches poll was the only one associated with it (AP pulled out over the whole USC LSU debate) maybe we should go off their poll

SCAR was #11 in the AP poll, which I believe was the main poll at the time. I think I based my rankings off of that. Both ESPN and NCAA records show they were #11.

From what I can tell, the BCS standings came out the next week and they had dropped as a result of their loss to us. So, it's either Coaches Poll or AP Poll. I think I'll update the OP to include both.

We are now on a 7-game winning streak, our first since 2001!

Fun fact not included in my OP, this was the first meeting all time between us and Appy State. We are now 1-0 vs them.

2-0 in SEC since 2003

First win over top 25 on the road since 2006 (at Georgia)
^not sure the number of games, I think it might have been 20 road losses to top 25 teams.

I am sure you know the others (11 wins in a row, etc.).

I love this thread.
