Oh, Alabama fans aren’t going to be happy about this one.

But as many Tennessee fans have emailed me over the weekend, there’s a new all-time winningest team SEC football history… and the crown changed hands in the off-season of all times.

With Alabama’s forced vacation of 21 wins between 2005 and 2007, Bama has now fallen into second place all-time in the SEC in wins and in winning percentage. (That’s overall wins, not just conference wins and losses.)

Since it was Tennessee fans who alerted me to this statistical flip-flop, I think you can guess which school grabbed the top spot.

So, as of today, here are your all-time standings in the Southeastern Conference by winning percentage… with all-time each school’s all-time W-L-T record listed to the right.

As you can see, if you rank the teams purely by all-time wins, the results would fall as follows:

1. Tennessee
2. Alabama
3. Georgia
4. LSU
5. Auburn
6. Florida
7. Arkansas
8. Ole Miss
9. Kentucky
10. Vanderbilt
11. South Carolina
12. Mississippi State



You’ll also note that the only team in the SEC to have lost more games all-time than it has won is poor ‘ol Mississippi State.

See, Bama fans, there is a worse feeling than falling from number one to number two. There’s the embarrassment of being the SEC’s all-time worst football program.



Now, here’s one last statistical breakdown for you. Let’s see how the numbers lay out since 1950… which in most cases is viewed as “the beginning of the modern era.”

Looks a little different doesn’t it? And for the record, Vanderbilt’s post-1950 record is not only the worst in the SEC, it’s the worst in the nation. Congrats, Commodores.

Can Alabama produce make-believe wins like they produce make-believe national titles?

At least this serves to remind the Shamecocks of their rightful place in the conference.

you stole the words right out of my fingers. sitting one spot above the never-have-been-never-will-be bulldogs of mississippi state is an absolute embarrassment for the gamecocks.

i know you cock trolls on here saw this list... just remember it every time youre about to say something about your program. south carolina is a bottom feeder and historically worse than the private institution of vanderbilt

I think the key stat that everyone is overlooking is losses. Tennessee has the least. Now that is impressive!

I thought it was some good news, regardless of how we get there, I'll take catching Bama for all time win total.

i'll take it.personally though,i'd rather have won it ON the field. 3 of the last 4 games they have taken us to the woodshed,when will THAT end?

:rock::rock::dance2::clapping:Thank you for that !! Awesome post! I lived there for 18 years and I
HATE the gamechickens!!! If you have lived there you would know what I mean!! They are horrid fans! My dad and I were there the first year they came in the SEC and we played them at their stadium and tannyhill , I called him pantyhill , well they beat us when we didnt make that 2 point conversion and there the gameclucks went taunting us and then pantyhill came over to our side of the stadium and taunted us ! Well then the next year they came to US and it was one of the sweetest days in my life!!!! We kicked their butts !! 55-3 !!! What a wonderful day for me. I believe jay graham on the second play of that game (boy I cannot remember how long that run was) but he went all the way and my dad had me in a headlock the whole run!!! LOL!!:)

Everyone realizes that this list is wrong right? Bama has 778 and UT has 776. MrSEC.com has already posted another article debunking their first one. UT is still number two.
