The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 76-year history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has built perhaps the
greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition of any league in the country since its inception in 1933.It has been another season to remember
for the SEC as conference teams captured five national titles and five national runner-up finishes. The SEC won consecutive
national championships in football, gymnastics, women’s basketball and men’s tennis. Since 1990, the SEC has won 126 national team championships for an
average of nearly seven per year. LSU won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its win in the BCS National Championship Game in football.
The Tennessee Lady Vols won its second consecutive women’s basketball national championship. Georgia earned a pair of national championships as the Gym Dogs won their fourth straight gymnastics
championship as well as the men’s tennis team won back-to-back national titles. LSU won its second national championship of the year when the women’s
track & field squad won the national title. Florida finished first among Southeastern Conference schools and sixth overall in the Director’s Cup final standings.
Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in nine of its 20 sponsored sports and in the top five in 13 of the 20 sports. Nine SEC teams participated
in football postseason bowls with Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and South Carolina winning the Cotton, BCS National Title Game, Chick-Fil-A,
Music City, Sugar and Liberty Bowls, respectively.
A league record-tying six men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament with Tennessee
advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. The SEC has now sent at least one team to the sweet sixteen for 19 straight years. Five women’s basketball teams were
also invited to the NCAA Tournament with Tennessee winning the NCAA National Championship and LSU advancing to the Women’s Final Four for the second
