A pinnacle of any college football roundtable is the Southeastern Conference, where some of the most legendary – and albeit the most hated – college football players are bred.
Established in 1932, the SEC has made its way into the post-season 406 times and has amassed the most Heisman trophy winners since Florida’s Steve Spurrier in 1966.
The SEC has an acquired taste for unorthodox recruiting methods, but also basques in tradition when it comes to tailgating/pre-gaming and overall nostalgia.
Pre-dating to 2012, the SEC has averaged over 100 wins and boasts a 20-9 win-loss record in bowl game participation.
