What is the longest D1 dual meet win streak?

[Iwrite]

Interesting to note that the National Wrestling Hall of Fame bio of Myron Roderick states that his OSU teams once produced 84 consecutive duals without a loss. I guess that means there could have been a tie in there, which makes it different than wins in a row. And that is supported by his overall dual recoerd of 140-10-7.

Roderick's streak had two draws 82-0-2.  The longest win streak inside it was only 37.

1958-1959 9-1 (1 win streak)

1959-1960 14-0 (15)

1960-1961 8-0 (23)

1961-1962 12-0 (35)

1962-1963 11-0-1 (win streak snapped 47 unbeaten)

1963-1964 10-0-1 (58 unbeaten)

1964-1965 14-0 (72)

1965-1966 13-1 (unbeaten streak broken at 84)

Iowa also had an 84 match unbeaten streak under Brands 83-0-1.  Inside that streak there was a 69 match winning streak (3rd longest in D1).

2007-2008 21-1 (14 consecutive wins)

2008-2009 24-0 (38)

2009-2010 23-0 (61)

2010-2011 15-0-1 (Win streak broken at 69, 77 unbeaten)

2011-2012 14-4 (unbeaten streak broken at 84)

Its probably within this window of 95 dual meets, note 2 ties.  A loss each in 1966 & 1959 seasons but don't know when.  If wrestlingstats.com were working we could look up the individual duals to see where the losses occurred and if todays tie criteria would have dictated a win.
