I can't verify any other school, but 5 is the right number for us, as I posted back in January:

2014, #22 Auburn, Dan Mullen
2017, #18 LSU, Dan Mullen
2018, #16 Texas A&M, Joe Moorhead
2021, #20 NC State, Mike Leach
2021, #18 Kentucky, Mike Leach
We would have had a 3rd this past year, but the voters punished Texas A&M for opting out of their bowl. They were the first team out.
I can't verify Bammer's number, either, as I'm unable to count beyond 18, thanks to a distillin' accident in '15 and a possum bite back last fall...Quote:

Mullen had the best QB we have ever had for several years and only managed one win with him over a top 25 final poll team. Some of that is scheduling and luck but damn. Leach will lap Mullen's wins over top 25 teams by year three and he is just getting started.
You may have hopped off that Leach Band Wagon that lost a couple wheels along the way but me thinks this year will bring a few of you back. At least, I hope so.
Mullen's schedules were bipolar. He'd have games against 3 top 12 teams and then a bunch of mediocre to bad teams.Quote:

This will probably be less true with Leach, but still true to an extent. Voters don't like to see 5 out of 7 SEC West teams ranked, so we have had some wins over teams that probably were top 25 talent wise but just got penalized for playing in a brutal SEC.
The SEC West
Mullen averaged playing 4.4 ranked teams a season. The most we played were 6 in 2014. The least was 3 in 2016. It's hard to have wins against teams "ranked at the end of the season" when you rarely beat teams ranked when you play them.Quote:
