•After five weeks of the 2010 season, SEC teams are favoring the run over the pass. In 57 games, SEC teams are averaging 37.4 rushes per game and only 26.3 passes per game. The 26.3 pass plays per game is the lowest of any FBS conference. The national averages are 37.4 run plays per game and 30.3 pass plays per game.
•The SEC leads the nation in total touchdowns scored (221), but is tied for fourth in scoring average (30.4 points per game) with the ACC. The national average is 28.5 points per game.
•Alabama owns the nation’s longest winning streak at 19 games and also the longest regular-season winning streak at 29 games. The Crimson Tide’s 18-game winning streak in SEC regular-season games is nine away from the record. Alabama won 27 in a row from 1976-80.
•Alabama has now been the No. 1-ranked team for eight straight Associated Press polls (all six this season and the final two of last season). That’s longer than any streak they’ve ever had, including their dominant late 1970s stretch.
