Missouri led 34-31 with 5:35 remaining in the game following a 10-yard touchdown reception by Marcus Murphy.

2012 SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME ALABAMA 32, GEORGIA 28 Amari Cooper s 45-yard touchdown reception with 3:15 remaining Saturday lifted No. 2 Alabama to its 23rd all-time Southeastern Conference Football Championship with a 32-28 victory against No. 3 Georgia at the Georgia Dome in a game that featured more than its fair share of twists and turns. The contest was played in front of 75,624 fans, the fifth-largest crowd in SEC Championship Game history. Alabama (12-1) trailed 28-25 with 12:54 remaining in the game following a 10-yard rushing touchdown by Georgia s Todd Gurley. After several unsuccessful drives by both teams, the Crimson Tide received the ball back with 5:24 left. That s when Alabama developed a penchant for passing in a game that had been dominated by solid ground games from both teams. Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron found Cooper streaking down the left sideline for what would be the game-winning touchdown pass. Cooper had seven catches for 127 yards in the game (18.1 avg). McCarron finished the game 13-of-21 passing with one critical scoring strike. SEC Championship Game Most Valuable Player Eddie Lacy rushed 20 times for a game-high 181 yards with two touchdowns, while T.J. Yeldon had 25 attempts for 153 yards, marking the first time in SEC Championship Game history that two players on the same team rushed for better than 100 yards. Georgia (11-2) marched down the field on its final drive of the game with one last opportunity to reclaim the advantage in a contest that featured six lead changes. With 15 seconds remaining and the Bulldogs on the Alabama eight-yard line, quarterback Aaron Murray tossed a pass that was tipped and fallen on by Chris Conley at the five-yard line, but the clock expired to end the game. Murray finished 18-of-33 from scrimmage for 265 yards passing with a touchdown. Gurley led Georgia s ground game with 23 carries for 122 yards with a pair of scores.

LSU (13-0) advanced to a spot in the BCS title game in New Orleans, just 75 miles from its Baton Rouge campus. The Tigers opponent will be announced Sunday night, but SEC West rival and No. 2 Alabama. The Bulldogs tried to really shake things up, racing to a 10-0 lead that could ve been even bigger if they hadn t dropped a pair of potential touchdown passes in the first quarter. But, thanks to Mathieu, the deficit was only 10-7 when the teams went to the locker room. He took a punt at his own 38, found an opening and was gone all the way to the end zone for his second punt return for a touchdown in as many weeks. That was long forgotten by the time the fearless sophomore was done. On Georgia s first possession of the second half, quarterback Aaron Murray tried to scramble for a first down but had the ball knocked loose just before he hit the turf. Who was there to fall on it at the Bulldogs 26? Mathieu, of course, his fifth fumble recovery of the season. LSU quickly seized its first lead. The Tigers finally picked up a first down, then freshman Kenny Hilliard broke off a 15-yard run for the first of his three touchdowns. Normally, that would ve been more than enough to win the game s MVP award. Not even close on this day. The 5-foot-9, 175-pounder cradled the ball, took off down the center of the field, cut back to his left, stutter-stepped and turned on a burst of speed, basically came to a stop around the Georgia 30, then took off again and was finally dragged down at the 17. LSU took control with a 21-point third quarter, coming back from a double-digit deficit for the second week in a row and leaving little doubt that it s the best team in country heading into bowl season. The only other unbeaten team, Houston, was blown out in the Conference USA championship game Saturday. All the other top teams have at least one loss.

He ran and passed the Auburn Tigers to a shot at the national championship they were denied six years ago, and he might as well start working on that Heisman pose, too. Newton passed for a career-high 335 yards and four touchdowns, plus ran for a pair of TDs in an MVP performance that led Auburn to the Southeastern Conference championship with a 56-17 rout of Steve Spurrier and South Carolina on Saturday. The Tigers, who came into the day sitting atop the Bowl Championship Series standings, must wait 24 hours before getting the official word, but it s nothing more than a formality: They ll be playing Oregon for the national title on Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz. Hard to imagine the Heisman vote even being close after the 6-foot-6, 250-pound junior followed Tim Tebow as only the second player in the history of the top division to run AND pass for 20 touchdowns in a season. He slipped away from defenders with his surprising quickness, buying extra time to throw. He broke tackles with his power, not at all shocking given that he outweighed all three of South Carolina s starting linebackers by at least 25 pounds.

Or he just ran right over em. Newton guided the Tigers (13-0) to touchdowns on their first three possessions, though South Carolina (9-4) was in the game as halftime approached. Trailing only 21-14, the Gamecocks simply had to knock down Newton s last-gasp pass on the final play before the break. They couldn t even do that.newton heaved one up and DeVonte Holloman, standing in front of Terrell Zachery, leaped to tip it away. But the deflected ball went right to Darvin Adams for an improbable 51-yard touchdown that changed the complexion of the game. After South Carolina missed a field goal on the first possession of the second half, it was all Tigers. The Tigers set an SEC championship game record for scoring and piled up 589 yards. Newton had a hand in 408 of them, breaking his previous best of 317 yards passing against Chattanooga and leading Auburn in rushing with 14 carries for 73 yards. Despite two big drops, Adams set another SEC championship record with 217 yards on seven receptions.

Alabama is now 13-0 on the season while the Gators fell to 12-1. It marked the first time in the history of the SEC Championship Game that both teams came in undefeated. Our entire team played great. Greg [McElroy] played great. Mark [Ingram] played great. Julio [Jones] played great, Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. Really, most of the credit goes to our guys up front on the offensive line. This is a great win for our program. Alabama amassed 490 yards of total offense against a Florida defense that had been limiting its opponents to an average of 230 yards per game this season. Junior quarterback Greg McElroy, who threw for 239 yards and a touchdown on 12 completions, was named the game s most valuable player. It s been such an incredible season, McElroy said. We started the season here (in the Georgia Dome) with a win and were able to win a championship today. I can t say enough about my offensive line, (and) we have the greatest coaching staff in the country. Sophomore running back Mark Ingram rushed for 113 yards on 28 carries including three rushing touchdowns. He is now the Tide s all-time singleseason rushing leader with 1,542, surpassing Bobby Humphrey s 1986 record of 1,471 and becomes the first Alabama rusher to go over 1,500 yards in a season. His three touchdowns tied an SEC Championship Game record. Ingram also caught two passes for 76 yards. Sophomore Marquis Maze led the Crimson Tide recievers with five catches for 96 yards. Sophomore Mark Barron, junior Kareem Jackson and senior Rolando Mc- Clain led the Crimson Tide defense with seven, six and five tackles, respectively. Alabama has now won an SEC title in every decade since winning the league s first title in 1933. The Tide s 22 championships ranks first in SEC history.

With 2:59 left in the first half, Tebow found David Nelson for a five-yard TD strike and Florida went into the locker room with a 17-10 lead.

Jonathan Zenon scored on an 18-yard interception return with 9:54 left to rally LSU (11-2) from a 14-13 deficit, then Darry Beckwith picked off another pass by Erik Ainge deep in Tigers territory to seal it. The Vols led 7-6 at halftime. The game shaded toward the Tigers side in the second half, with Perrilloux starring in place of injured Matt Flynn. For a while, it looked as if Tennessee safety Eric Berry might be the star of the game. He made a pair of plays in the third quarter that helped Tennessee take a 14-13 lead and preserve it. Berry recovered a fumble by NCAA sprint star Trindon Holliday that set up Ainge s 6-yard TD pass to Josh Briscoe for a 14-13 edge and later intercepted Perrilloux s pass.

Before a Georgia Dome Sporting Event record crowd of 74,896, the Vols came from a 20-7 second quarter deficit to defeat the Tigers on Peyton Manning s 73-yard TD pass to Marcus Nash early in the fourth quarter. A defensive struggle ensued and the Vols were off to the FedEx Orange Bowl to play for the Bowl Alliance. The Vols got on the scoreboard first on a 40-yard TD pass from Manning to Peerless Price. However, that was all the scoring Tennessee could muster until a Jeff Hall 27-yard field goal midway through the second quarter. In the meantime, Auburn accounted for 20 unanswered points, led by a 24-yard fumble return by Brad Ware and a 51-yard TD pass from Dameyune Craig to Tyrone Goodson. AU s Jaret Holmes also hit two field goals. The two teams traded touchdowns midway through the third quarter. Behind 27-17, UT scored on a 46-yard pass from Manning to Price. On the PAT attempt, Auburn s Quinton Reese returned the blocked kick for a two-point conversion to score. That set up the heroics on Nash s 73-yard TD reception from Manning and Hall s PAT that won the game for Tennessee.

Wuerffel s favorite target was wide receiver Reidel Anthony, who caught 11 aerials for 171 yards and three touchdowns - all three numbers were game records. Alabama got on the scoreboard first on a 36-yard touchdown pass from Freddie Kitchens to Dennis Riddle. The Gators went on to score 24 straight points in building up a 24-14 halftime lead. In the third quarter, the two teams traded touchdowns, including two long scoring plays.

The Gators, who went through the regular season undefeated, continued its dominance on this night. Florida outgained the Razorbacks, 396-299, and committed no turnovers, while forcing Arkansas into four giveaways. Arkansas got on the scoreboard first when Todd Latourette kicked a 36- yard field goal with 7:26 left in the first quarter. The Razorbacks were dealt some bad news on that drive, however. Sophomore running back Madre Hill, who finished third in the conference in rushing, was lost for the game with a knee injury. The Gators took the ensuing kickoff and went 80 yards in seven plays, capped off when game MVP Danny Wuerffel connected with Chris Doering on a 22-yard touchdown pass. Florida would never look back. The SEC s fourth title game attracted a television audience of over 25 million viewers. ABC s broadcast earned a 7.2 rating.

The Gators effectively moved the ball through the air, as Danny Wuerffel connected on 23 of 41 passes for 227 yards and a pair of touchdowns. But at the conclusion of the hard-fought contest, it was Florida defensive standout Ellis Johnson who distinguished himself as the game s most valuable player. The rugged senior recorded five tackles, one pass breakup and an SEC Championship record three tackles behind the line of scrimmage, including two quarterback sacks. Trailing 17-10 at the half, Alabama regained the lead, 23-17, with two third-quarter field goals and an interception return for a touchdown with less than nine minutes to play. Florida responded with an 80-yard, 10-play drive which ended with a two-yard touchdown pass from Wuerffel to Chris Doering with just 5:29 remaining in the fourth quarter. The extra point by Judd Davis secured the winning margin, as the Gator defense forced an interception on the final Alabama drive. The SEC s third title game attracted a television audience of more than 30 million viewers. ABC s broadcast earned a 10.5 rating, marking the network s most-watched college football game since the 1991 season.

The Gators were led by quarterback Terry Dean, who passed for 256 yards and two touchdowns en route to Championship Game Most Valuable Player honors. After virtually three quarters of neck-and-neck football, and the Gators leading by one, 14-13, Florida was faced with a fourth-and-eight situation. Punter Shayne Edge kept the drive alive with a 20-yard spring, and on the next play, Dean hit wideout Jack Jackson with a 43-yard strike to give Florida an eight- point cushion. From there, the Florida defense held its ground and the Gators secured the victory. The victory secured Florida as the host of the USF&G Sugar Bowl. On Jan. 1, 1994, the eight-ranked Gators defeated West Virginia, 41-7, in New Orleans to win their first Sugar Bowl title.

The league became the first in Division I-A to stage a championship game between its two division winners. Western Division Champion Alabama and Eastern Division co-champion Florida provided plenty of fireworks as the Crimson Tide posted a 28-21 victory before a capacity crowd of 83,091 at Legion Field in Birmingham. The game, which was televised nationally by ABC Sports and earned a 9.8 rating, was not decided until the final minutes. With the Gators facing firstand-10 at their own 21, Alabama cornerback Antonio Langham returned an interception 27 yards for the game-winning score. The play, which came with just 3:16 remaining, earned Langham Most Valuable Player honors and thwarted the debut of a tie-breaking system in Division I-A football. The victory secured Alabama the role of host at the USF&G Sugar Bowl. On Jan. 1, 1993, the second-ranked Crimson Tide handed No. 1 Miami a 34-13 defeat to capture the SEC s 12th national crown.

Richard Billingsley, Wes Colley, Ken Massey, Jeff Sagarin and Peter Wolfe have combined the metrics that helped forge 16 years of championship matchups. Those include such factors as wins and losses, strength of schedule, home-field advantage, recency of game and, in some cases, margin of victory to give an objective rating of all 128 FBS teams.)

Scored from 17 yards out in the first quarter and his 39-yard catch in the third cut the lead to 33-27 while his 75-yard reception on the next series pulled the Tide within two at 36-34. Seven of his catches were for first downs and five were explosive plays of 16 yards or more.

Also broke up a pass and recorded a quarterback hurry. As the Rebels Huskie defensive back, he played a key role in both rush and pass defense as Ole Miss limited Mississippi State to a season low-tying point total. Pressured Dak Prescott into an incomplete pass on 2nd-andgoal from the 4-yard line, leading to a turnover on downs two plays later in a crucial fourth-quarter defensive stand. Helped Ole Miss finish the regular season with the nation s No. 1 scoring defense (13.8 points allowed per game). ANDREW BAGGETT, PK, MISSOURI Made two field goals from beyond 50 yards in the first half Friday to help keep the Tigers afloat until the offense found its way in the 2nd half of MU s 21-14 win over Arkansas to clinch the SEC Eastern Division title. With the Tiger offense scuffling in the 1st half, came through with field goals of 52 and 50 yards to keep Mizzou within 14-6 at halftime. CAMERON SUTTON, PR, TENNESSEE Returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown to open the scoring in Tennessee s 24-17 win at Vanderbilt. Was the first punt return for a touchdown (excluding blocked punts) since UT s last trip to Vandy on Nov. 17, 2012. Also recorded two tackles and one pass breakup in the win. Tennessee became bowl eligible with the victory.

No sacks allowed, no pressures, no missed assignments and no penalties. Made the key block after going to left tackle on Derrick Henry s 25-yard TD run that put UA up 55-36 with 3:46 remaining to seal the victory. Alabama totaled 539 yards of total offense (312 pass, 227 rush) and tied the record for most points in the Iron Bowl. Tide averaged 6.7 yards per rush and 11.6 yards per pass attempt.

The new SEC bowl process coincides with the beginning of the new College Football Playoff that follows the 2014 college football season. The SEC will also participate in the Allstate Sugar Bowl and the Capital One Orange Bowl (in selected years). Under the new SEC bowl system, the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl in Orlando (vs. Big Ten/ACC), a longtime SEC bowl, will have the first selection of available SEC teams after any conference schools have qualified for the College Football Playoff, the Allstate Sugar Bowl or the Capital One Orange Bowl. Following the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl, there will be a pool of six bowls comprised of renewals with the Outback Bowl in Tampa (vs. Big Ten), Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville (vs. ACC/Big Ten), TaxSlayer Bowl in Jacksonville (vs. ACC/Big Ten) and AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis (vs. Big 12), as well as new agreements with the Advocare V100 Texas Bowl in Houston (vs. Big 12) and Belk Bowl in Charlotte (vs. ACC). In consultation with SEC member institutions, as well as these six bowls, the conference will make the assignments for the bowl games in this newly created pool system. The SEC has also renewed its relationship with both the Birmingham Bowl (vs. American) and the Duck Commander Independence Bowl in Shreveport (vs. ACC). The Birmingham Bowl will have the first selection of available teams following the pool of six bowls. The Duck Commander Independence Bowl will have the next selection of available teams following the Birmingham Bowl. 2014 SEC FOOTBALL VIDEO REPLAY THE OBJECTIVE To allow for specific types of officiating calls to be immediately reviewed during all games hosted by SEC teams. THE COACHES' CHALLENGE The head coach may challenge the ruling of any reviewable play. He retains a challenge if his initial challenge is successful and thus results in a reversal by the replay official. The head coach will then have a single challenge that he may use anytime during the game if his team has not used all its timeouts. Thus a team may have a total of two challenges in the game, but only if the first results in a reversal of the on-field ruling. A head coach may not challenge an on-field ruling if all of the team s timeouts have been used for that half or extra period. THE SOURCE All reviewable video comes direct from either the television network broadcasting the game or other TV production facilities that meet established conference standards. The Southeastern Conference has used instant replay since 2005. THE PLAYS Scoring Plays Reviewable plays involving a potential score include: a. A potential touchdown or safety. [Exception: Safety by penalty for fouls that are not specifically reviewable with the exception of the location of the passer when an intentional grounding foul results in a safety.] b. Field goal attempts if and only if the ball is ruled (a) below or above the crossbar or (b) inside or outside the uprights when it is lower than the top of the uprights. If the ball is higher than the top of the uprights as it crosses the end line, the play may not be reviewed. Passes Reviewable plays involving passes include: a. Pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted anywhere in the field of play or an end zone. b. Forward pass touched by a player or an official. c. Forward pass or forward handing when a ball carrier is or has been beyond the neutral zone. d. A forward pass or forward handing after a change of team possession. e. Pass ruled forward or backward when thrown from behind the neutral zone. 1. If the pass is ruled forward and is incomplete, the play is reviewable only if there is clear recovery of a loose ball in the immediate continuing action after the loose ball or if the ball is out of bounds. If the replay official does not have indisputable video evidence as to which team recovers, the ruling of incomplete pass stands. 2. If the replay official reverses an incomplete forward pass ruling and the ball is recovered, it belongs to the recovering team at the spot of the recovery and any advance is nullified.
2014 SEC Football Dead Ball and Loose Ball Reviewable plays involving potential dead balls and loose balls include: a. Loose ball by a potential passer ruled a fumble. b. Loose ball by a passer ruled incomplete forward pass when there is clear recovery in the immediate continuing action after the loose ball. 1. If the replay official does not have indisputable video evidence as to which team recovers, the ruling of incomplete pass stands. 2. If the replay official rules fumble, the ball belongs to the recovering team at the spot of the recovery and any advance is nullified. c. Live ball not ruled dead in possession of a ball carrier. d. Loose ball ruled dead, or live ball ruled dead in possession of a ball carrier when the clear recovery of a loose ball occurs in the immediate continuing action. 1. If the ball is ruled dead and the replay official does not have indisputable video evidence as to which team recovers, the dead-ball ruling stands. 2. If the replay official rules that the ball was not dead, it belongs to the recovering team at the spot of the recovery and any advance is nullified. e. Ball carrier s forward progress with respect to a first down. f. Catch or recovery of a fumble by a Team A player other than the fumbler before any change of possession during fourth down or a try. g. Ball carrier in or out of bounds. If a ball carrier is ruled out of bounds, the play is not reviewable, except as in Rules 12-3-1-a and 12-3-3-d. h. Catch, recovery or touching of a loose ball by a player potentially touching or having touched a sideline or end line or in the field of play. i. A loose ball touching on or beyond a sideline, goal line, or end line, touching a pylon, or breaking the plane of a goal line. Kicks Reviewable plays involving kicks include: a. Touching of a kick. b. Player beyond the neutral zone when kicking the ball. c. Kicking team player advancing a ball after a potential muffed kick/fumble by the receiving team. d. Scrimmage kick crossing the neutral zone. Miscellaneous Situations that may be addressed by the replay official: a. The number of players on the field for either team during a live ball. b. Clock adjustment and status when a ruling is reviewed. c. Clock adjustment at the end of any quarter. If at the end of any quarter the game clock expires, either during a down in which it should be stopped by rule when the ball becomes dead or following the down upon a request for an available team timeout, the replay official may restore time only under these conditions: 1. The replay official has indisputable video evidence that time should have remained on the game clock when the ball became dead or when the team timeout was granted; 2. In the second and fourth quarters only, the team in possession when the ball became dead would next put the ball in play from scrimmage (not the try); 3. In the fourth quarter only, either the score is tied or the team that will next snap the ball is behind by eight points or fewer; and 4. The replay official s video evidence includes the timeout signal by an official in the case where the game clock should have stopped for a requested team timeout. d. Correcting the number of a down. 1. This includes the result of a penalty enforcement that includes an automatic first down or loss of down. 2. The correction may be made at any time within that series of downs or before the ball is legally put in play after that series. e. Any person who is not a player interfering with live-ball action occurring in the field of play (Rule 9-2-3). f. The player disqualification portion and the penalty for targeting fouls under 9-1-3 and 9-1-4. Forcible contact to the head or neck area of the crown of the helmet are reviewable. Note that if the disqualification is reversed and the only foul is Targeting, the 15 yard penalty will not be enforced. Limitations on Reviewable Plays No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable. However, the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable. This excludes fouls that are not specifically reviewable (Reviewable fouls: Rules 12-3-2-c and d, 12-3-4-b and 12-3-5-a). THE PROCESS Each SEC football stadium has a secured replay booth equipped with the HD Instant Replay system provided by DVSport. Three individuals work in the booth for the duration of the game: 1. Replay Official, 2. Communicator, 3. Technician. The Replay Official and the Communicator are selected and assigned by the Conference Office. A live HD video feed is sent directly to the replay booth from the TV truck. The Technician watches the feed on an input monitor while recording it into the DVSport Replay System. The Technician also marks the beginning of each play while the Communicator marks all incoming replays. Each play and subsequent replay then appears on a touch screen in front of the Replay Technician. As the Technician and the Communicator mark the incoming video, each view will appear as a small picture on the computer touch screen. At any time, the Replay Technician can touch the thumbnail and immediately send that play or replay to the Replay Official. With the Communicator's assistance, the Replay Official can quickly jump between replays while playing back the video. All replay video navigation is done via a jog shuttle remote controlled by the Replay Official. All video is viewed on an HD monitor that sits in front of the Replay Official. The touch screen is only used to select the replays and to log specific play data in the event a call is overturned. While all plays are reviewed between the whistle and the beginning of the next play, the Replay Official can stop play on the field by using a pager system. Six of the seven on-field officials wear pagers. If play is stopped the Referee announces on the stadium PA microphone that play has been stopped so the previous play can be reviewed. The Referee then proceeds to the sideline headset, which provides direct communication to the Replay Official in the booth. Once the play has been reviewed, the Replay Official notifies the Referee, who then announces the decision on the stadium PA system. RECENT ADDITIONS * Monitors may be used to view a live telecast or webcast in the football coaching booth. The home team is responsible for assuring identical television capability in the coaches booths of both teams. This capability may not include replay equipment or recorders. * If at the end of a half the game clock expires, either during a down in which it should be stopped by rule when the ball becomes dead or following the down upon a request for an available team timeout, the replay official may restore time only under these conditions: 1. The replay official has indisputable video evidence that time should have remained on the game clock when the ball became dead or when the team timeout was granted; 2. The team in possession when the ball became dead would next put the ball in play from scrimmage; 3. In the fourth quarter only, either the score is tied or the team that will next snap the ball is behind by eight points or fewer; and 4. The replay official s video evidence includes the timeout signal by an official in the case where the game clock should have stopped for a requested team timeout. THE EQUIPMENT Each SEC member institution uses the HD Replay System developed by DVSport. The replay systems are maintained by the home institution with technical support from DVSport.
2014 SEC Football SEC FOOTBALL (2006-13)... SECOND TO NONE During the last eight years (2006-13), Southeastern Conference football has experienced success that is unparalleled in its football history and in the history of college football. During this tenure, the SEC s achievements have been demonstrated by: Triumphs in BCS bowl games, including the BCS National Championship Game Non-conference success in regular season and bowl games Defeating highly-ranked non-conference teams Success in the polls and rankings Individual awards and All-America Teams Academic and Community Service Standouts Continued accomplishments of former SEC student-athletes in the NFL SEC IN THE BCS ERA The SEC has won seven of the last eight national championships, nine of the 16 BCS National Championships, two runner-up finishes and 23 overall national titles (AP, BCS, FWAA, coaches poll). The SEC appeared in 10 of the 16 BCS Championship Games, winning nine. Four different SEC schools have won the BCS National Championship since 2006 (Auburn, 2010; Alabama, 2009, 2011, 2012; Florida, 2006 and 2008; LSU, 2007). Tennessee (1998) and LSU (2004) have also won the BCS crown. Auburn also appeared in the 2013 BCS Championship Game. A team from the SEC Western Division has advanced to five consecutive national championship games. The Big 12 (Texas and Oklahoma) and the ACC (Miami and Florida State) have each had two schools win titles since 1998. Since 2006, more than half of the slots in the BCS National Championship Game have been taken by SEC teams (10 of 18). The Big Ten and the Big 12 have two each, while the ACC and Pac-10 each have one. An SEC team has led or tied for the lead at the end of 27 of the last 32 quarters of BCS National Championship Game play. Since 2006, an SEC team has been ranked first in the weekly BCS standings in 36 of the 65 weeks, with four different teams holding the top spot. Florida was first for seven weeks, Alabama for 16 weeks, Auburn for three and LSU for 10 weeks, including six of the nine polls this season. The Big Ten has held the top spot for 15 weeks (all Ohio State), the Big 12 for six weeks (Texas and Oklahoma twice, Missouri and Kansas State once) and the Pac-10 four weeks (all Oregon). The ACC (Florida State) held the top spot in the final poll in 2013. The SEC has had more teams ranked in the BCS standings for the most times than any other conference since 2006. The league has had 13 of its 14 teams ranked at one time or another since 2006. The SEC breakdown: LSU (62), Alabama (52), Florida (41), Auburn (38), South Carolina (38), Georgia (35), Arkansas (23), Texas A&M (17), Tennessee (14), Mississippi State (12), Missouri (9), Kentucky (4) and Ole Miss (4). Vanderbilt is the only team to not appear in the BCS rankings during this time, however, the Commodores finished ranked in the Top 25 in both 2012 and 2013 after bowl games with 9-4 records. The BCS does not produce a poll following bowl games. Since 2006, the SEC has posted a 10-6 record in BCS bowl games, more wins than any other conference. Here are the BCS bowl records of all conferences since 2006: SEC 10-6.625 Pac-12 7-4.636 AAC 5-3.625 Big 12 5-7.417 Big Ten 5-9.357 ACC 4-6.400 Mountain West 2-1.667 WAC 2-1.667 MAC 0-1.000 Independents 0-2.000 Three of the top nine defensive performances in BCS history have been registered by SEC teams, more than any other conference. Alabama s shutout of LSU in the 2012 BCS National Championship Game was the first shutout in BCS history. Georgia defeated Hawaii, 41-10, in the 2008 Sugar Bowl, and Florida defeated Syracuse, 31-10, in the 1999 Orange Bowl - both are tied for 7th in lowest point total allowed in a BCS game. Alabama s 28-point victory over Notre Dame in the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship is the second-largest in the BCS era. (Southern Cal defeated Oklahoma by 36 in the 2005 BCS Championship Game for the top spot, however, that victory was later vacated.) During the recent seven-year winning streak, the SEC s average margin of victory in BCS National Championship Games is 17 points, which includes a three point victory over Oregon in 2011, the only game during the streak decided by single digits. SEC IN OVERALL BOWL GAMES Since 2006, the SEC has accrued more bowl wins (49) and appearances (83) than any other conference. The conference s.671 bowl winning percentage is first among FBS leagues during that time. SEC 49-24.671 American 28-15.651 Mountain West 24-16.600 Sun Belt 11-8.579 Pac-12 26-19.578 Big 12 32-30.516 Conference USA 22-23.489 Independents 8-9.471 ACC 28-39.418 Big Ten 21-40.344 MAC 10-28.263 In the 2013-14 bowl season, the SEC had the most wins (7) and had the second highest win percentage (7-3,.700), first among conferences that had three-or-more teams in bowl games. The seven victories tied the SEC s own record for most bowl wins in history by a single conference. In January bowl games, the SEC is 31-15 (.674) against non-conference competition. Since 2008, the league is 25-11 (.694) against non-conference foes in January bowl games. SEC vs. OTHER CONFERENCES Since 2006, the SEC has posted the highest non-conference winning percentage (regular season & bowls) than any other conference. The league has a 387-86 record, an 81.8 winning percentage. The SEC has won no less than 43 non-conference games (regular season & bowls) during the last eight seasons (2006-2013). This season, the SEC was 54-12 (.818), the highest percentage among FBS conferences. Teams from the SEC have posted 48 wins in the last seven years against non-conference Top 25 teams (at time game was played), an average of six wins per season. Ten of the 14 SEC teams have at least one win against a non-conference Top 25 team in the last seven years with LSU (9), Georgia (8), Alabama (7), Florida (5), South Carolina (7) Auburn (3) and Texas A&M (2) leading the way.

2014 SEC Football SEC DIVISIONAL TIE-BREAKER In the event of a tie for the division championship, the following procedures will be used to break all ties to determine the SEC Football Championship Game representative. All Conference versus Conference Games (both division and non-division) will be counted in the Conference Standings. 1. Two-Team Tie. In the event two teams are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: A. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams; B. Records of the tied teams within the division; C. Head-to-head competition against the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record, and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place); D. Overall record against non-divisional teams; E. Combined record against all common non-divisional teams; F. Record against the common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional or non-divisional) and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents; and Example: Tied Teams Non-Divisional Opponents Cumulative Record Western 1 Eastern Opponents: 14-2 Western 2 Eastern Opponents: 12-4 (Western 1 would be the representative) H. Coin flip of the tied teams. 2. Three-Team Tie (or more). If three teams (or more) are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: (Note: If one of the procedures results in one team being eliminated and two remaining, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used): A. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams; B. Record of the tied teams within the division; C. Head-to-head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non-divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place); D. Overall Conference record against non-divisional teams; E. Combined record against all common non-divisional teams; F. Record against the common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non-divisional) and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents (Note: If two teams non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply. If four teams are tied, and three teams non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, the three-team tiebreaker procedures will be used beginning with 2.A.); Example: Tied Teams Non-Divisional Opponents Cumulative Record Western 1 Eastern Opponents: 14-2 Western 2 Eastern Opponents: 12-4 Western 3 Eastern Opponents: 8-8 (Western 1 would be the representative) H. Coin flip of the tied teams with the team with the odd result being the representative (Example: If there are two teams with tails and one team with heads, the team with heads is the representative).
