Luck?

Do you realize that since 2002, there have been 8 SEC football champions. None have had more than 2 losses upon winning the championships. In fact, there have been 2 Undefeated teams, 4 one loss teams, and 2 two loss teams. 5 of those 8 SEC championship winners have gone on to play for the MNC (4 won, one is pending), including 3 one loss teams, 1 two loss team, and 1 undefeated team. We hold 2 of those 3 spots of teams that won the SEC and didn't play for the national championship, with a one loss team and a two loss team. Auburn holds the other spot with an undefeated team. I'm not sure whose luck is worse, ours or Auburns, but they're both pretty darn bad.

And if you want to talk about parity…Since the day Danny Weurffel graduated from Florida, and make no mistake that THAT event changed SEC football forever (They won the SEC all 4 of his seasons in Gainesville), here's the rundown of teams winning titles:

Teams w/ 3:
Florida ('00, '06, '08)
LSU ('01, '03, '07)

Teams w/ 2:
UT ('97, '98)
UGA ('01, '05)
Bama ('99, 09)

Teams w/ 1:
Auburn ('04)

If the Vandy or Kentucky kicker could make a dadgum kick…oh, how that balance of power might look different.
