SEC sports forum and SEC sports message board for SEC basketball and
SEC football fans.
Since its founding in 1933, the Southeastern Conference has been a powerhouse on the football field. Indeed, pigskin analysts are in near universal agreement that SEC football will remain a force to be reckoned with well into the future.
The reality is that throughout its history, SEC football has sported noteworthy and even championship teams from all of the schools in the conference. The fact is that the schools in the conference really are all household names across the country, in no small part due to the success of SEC football:
l Alabama
l Arkansas
l Auburn
l Florida
l Georgia
l Kentucky
l LSU
l Ole Miss
l Mississippi State
l South Carolina
l Tennessee – M
l Tennessee – W
l Vanderbilt
Within two years of the establishment of the conference, two SEC football teams were invited to bowl games. These early invitations set state for what would become a perennial presence of SEC football teams in major bowl games – a tradition that continues to this very day.
A mere nine years after the formation of the Southeastern Conference, Frank Sinkwich became the first SEC football player to receive the iconic Heisman Trophy. Yet again, this recognition and achievement during the early years of the conference was merely the beginning of a long line of SEC football players who would receive incomparable individual recognition.
Beginning in 1951, SEC football teams began a tradition of being named the Associated Press national champions. The first team to bring home that important designation was Tennessee. From that point in time onward, SEC football teams would continue to show a sense of dominance on the national stage. The talent of the players that were being field on teams throughout the conference drew a great deal of attention to the region.
The conference would have other teams designated by the Associated Press as the national champion throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Indeed, the tradition of success carried forward throughout the remainder of the 20th century and hard playing SEC football teams are being fielded into the 21st century as well.
From the ranks of all Southeastern Conference sports there have been designated over 20,000 All Americans since 1933. A good portion of those All Americans have arisen from the ranks of the SEC football teams. Moreover, since 1933, the Southeastern Conference has fielded about 170 national champions; as with the All Americans, the SEC football teams have played a significant role and have brought home more than their fair share of national championships. As has been noted previously in this article, this tradition of achievement shows no signs of abating in any way, shape or form.
Another aspect of SEC football that has garnered a great deal of national attention is fan support. Indeed, the fans of Southeastern Conference football teams are some of the most dedicated and committed in the country. The reality is that a person would be hard pressed to find any sports fans anywhere on the planet that exhibit the unbridled enthusiasm of those folks that back the Southeastern Conference football teams as well as other teams and individual athletes.
