The SEC has been the most-dominant conference in college football in recent years, even as Clemson has emerged as a major threat to Alabama’s dynasty.

This year will be a big one for coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide, but the Tide still have one impressive record going for them.

College football guru Phil Steele broke down which teams have the longest streaks of appearing in the AP top-25 poll, and the Tide have everyone beaten by a wide margin:

That’s an impressive streak. Those 179 weeks are a long, long time. Not even Clemson can match that.

The Tide are sure to enter 2019 in the poll, so the streak will likely continue throughout the 2019 season based on the amount of talent the team has returning this fall.

How many of those other SEC teams will continue their streaks all year? We’ll have fun watching them try this fall.
