List of SEC National Champions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of SEC National Champions begins in the Southeastern Conference's first full academic year of competition in 1933 and totals 161 NCAA-sanctioned team national championships^[1] (as of April 8, 2008). In the 2006-2007 academic year, SEC members won a total of eight national championships including football (Florida), men's basketball (Florida), women's basketball (Tennessee), men's swimming and diving (Auburn), women's swimming and diving (Auburn), gymnastics (Georgia), men's tennis (Georgia) and bowling (Vanderbilt). The SEC has averaged almost seven national championships per year since 1990.^[2]

Listed below are all championship teams of NCAA sponsored events, as well as the titles won in football and equestrian, which are not official NCAA sanctioned championships. Conference members have won at least one title in all but two of the sponsored events the SEC participates in, softball and women's volleyball. Up to 1982, teams representing member schools also claimed three AIAW Championships
