SEC Teams Ranked by Wins over the last 10 years

A few weeks ago, SouthernPigskin.com looked at the overall wins per SEC team from 1997-2006, and then ranked the teams based exclusively on that criteria.

The Georgia Bulldogs came in first with 96 overall wins. You read that right.

Consider where we were the prior 10 years. In 1996, Georgia finished 5-6 under new head coach Jim Donnan. The season included losses to Southern Miss (home), South Carolina (road), Kentucky (road), Ole Miss (home) and brutal thrashings at the hands of Tennessee and Florida. Things very looked bleak.

There was no hint that 10 years later, we would shockingly be sitting atop the SEC in terms of overall wins.

1. Georgia 98
2. Florida 96
2. Tennessee 96
4. LSU 86
5. Auburn 84
6. Arkansas 71
7. Alabama 66
8. Ole Miss 65
9. South Carolina 54
10. Miss State 50
11. Kentucky 46
12. Vandy 30

But here we are. In our case, it's really more of a reflection of solid consistency than domination, but I'll take it. Especially, in light of where we were the prior 10 years. We only posted 69 wins from '87-96). The complete ranking with brief commentary are available on SouthernPigskin.com.
