0 Victories have been recorded in 10 road games against ranked opponents for teams coached by Tennessee's Butch Jones, who is in his ninth season as a collegiate head coach. He's 0-8 in road games against ranked teams at Tennessee. The Volunteers visit No. 25 Georgia on Saturday.
1 SEC member has not played Missouri in football since the Tigers joined the conference in 2012 - LSU. Saturday night's game at Tiger Stadium will be the first meeting of Missouri and LSU in a league contest. LSU and Missouri have played once previously - a 20-15 victory for Missouri in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 23, 1978.
3 Victories in 24 conference games for Ole Miss when Ed Orgeron was the Rebels' head coach in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 seasons. Orgeron, who had a 10-25 overall record with the Rebels, is LSU's interim head coach after the Tigers fired Les Miles this week and will lead the team against Missouri on Saturday night. After his time at Ole Miss, Orgeron had a 6-2 record as Southern Cal's interim coach in 2013.
6 Consecutive games have featured at least one non-offensive TD for Alabama. Starting with the Crimson Tide's victory over Michigan State in the CFP semifinals last season, Alabama has scored TDs on three interception returns, three punt returns, one fumble return and one kickoff return. The Tide's six non-offensive TDs this season are the most in the nation - two more than any other team has.
8 Consecutive Ole Miss games have featured at least 30 points for the Rebels, the longest such streak in school history by two games. On Saturday, Ole Miss will play Memphis, which has given up 27 points and three TDs in its three games this season.
9 Consecutive Vanderbilt victories have been followed by a Commodores' loss. Vanderbilt, which defeated Western Kentucky 31-30 in overtime last week, plays Florida on Saturday. The Commodores haven't posted back-to-back victories since the 2013 season.
9 Consecutive Tennessee seasons have included a loss for the Volunteers in their first SEC road game. Tennessee most recently won its first conference road game in 2006, when it won 51-33 at Georgia. The Volunteers play Georgia in their first SEC road game of the 2016 season on Saturday. A victory would give Tennessee a 2-0 conference record for the first time since 2003.
12 Field goals have been kicked this season by Auburn PK Daniel Carlson, the most in the nation without a miss, after he connected six times against LSU last week. The next kicker on the national no-miss list, Temple's Austin Jones, has seven field goals. Carlson has connected on his past 13 field-goal attempts, the second-longest streak in Auburn history behind his 16 in a row from last season.
14 Consecutive victories have been run off by Alabama in games against SEC East opponents, including three in conference championship games. The Crimson Tide's most recent loss to an SEC East member is a 35-21 setback at South Carolina on Oct. 9, 2010. On Saturday, Alabama plays Kentucky, which has lost its past eight games against SEC West teams. The Wildcats haven't defeated an SEC West team since downing Ole Miss 30-13 on Nov. 5, 2011.
24 Consecutive October games have been won in Bryant-Denny Stadium by Alabama, which opens its 2016 October schedule on Saturday by hosting Kentucky. The Crimson Tide hasn't lost a home game in the 10th month since falling 20-3 to South Carolina on Oct. 2, 2004.
