List of Southeastern Conference national championships
The list of SEC national champions begins in the Southeastern Conference's first full academic year of competition in 1933 and totals 168 NCAA-sanctioned team national championships[1] (as of June 24, 2009). 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). However, during the 2008-09 school year, the Pac-10 conference captured eleven national titles, outstripping the SEC which was only awarded four.[2] The SEC has averaged almost seven national championships per year since 1990.[3]
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
[edit] Football (35 officially claimed)
Notes
- The NCAA does not name an official champion for Division I-A/FBS football. The following table lists national titles that are reported by the NCAA's web page "Past Division I-A Football National Champions". Schools don't necessarily claim each of the championships listed and some schools may claim championships awarded by a source while another school may not claim championships given by the same source.
- Prior to 1932, LSU was named national champion in football in 1908 by the National Championship Foundation.
- Prior to 1932, Auburn was named national champion in football in 1913 by Billingsley.
- Prior to 1932, Alabama claimed national titles in football in 1925, 1926, and 1930.
- Prior to 1932, Georgia was named national champion in football in 1927 by the Boand and Poling polls.

[edit] Totals by school
The following table ranks the current SEC schools by the number of NCAA recognized national championships each school has won. This does not include Division I-A/FBS football championships. Please note that some championships may have been won before the school was a member of the SEC. For example, Arkansas won 18 national championship prior to joining the SEC in 1992. If those are removed from the table below then Arkansas sits in third place with 24 national championships while a member of the SEC. In addition, some claimed national championships are in sports that are not sponsored by the SEC. An example of this is Kentucky, with one national championship in rifle, a sport not sponsored by the conference.
