I’ve read and listened to so much evidence about how Bama lost the game through bad calls on offense and the refs stole it, that I’m not sure we can really say that the streak is ended. May have to put a big ole asterisk in the record book and roll it to next season. Only question is, if Bama wins next year, is it treated like double or nothing where they claim 17 in a row or does it go down as 16* in a row? Could split the baby and call it 16.5 but I think that would require a footnote for posterity.
I’m also wondering what kinda score Vols need to post to maintain poll position. Since FCS games don’t usually get odds, we don’t have an official spread to cover. If Bama beats the holy hell out of Miss State and we squeak one out against UTM, could the Tide possibly leapfrog us next week?
