It's ok to be a hater Muff.
It's been 2,430 days since a non-SEC team was crowned college football's national champion. On Jan. 4, 2006, quarterback Vince Young led Texas to its first national championship since 1970 by throwing for 267 yards and running for 200 in a 41-38 victory over Southern California at the Rose Bowl.
The Trojans' dynasty ended that night, as the Longhorns ended their 34-game winning streak and aspirations of winning three consecutive national titles.
The SEC dynasty started a year later, after No. 2 Florida upset No. 1 Ohio State 41-14 in the first stand-alone BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 8, 2007.
LSU won a BCS national championship after the 2007 season, followed by Florida in 2008, Alabama in 2009 and Auburn in 2010.
Since 1998, five different SEC teams have won national championships (Tennessee won in 1998); no other conference had more than two teams win national titles during that time.
The SEC's recent dominance doesn't end there. Since the Longhorns won the 2005 BCS national championship, SEC teams have:
• Occupied more than half the slots in the BCS National Championship Game, with its teams playing in the six title games a total of seven times.
• Held a lead at the end of 16 of the last 20 quarters in the BCS title game.
• Been ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings in 26 of 48 weeks. On Nov. 20, three SEC West teams -- No. 1 LSU, No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 Arkansas -- occupied the top three spots in the BCS standings.
• Been included in the top 25 of the weekly BCS standings a total of 238 times, more than any other conference. Vanderbilt is the only SEC team which has failed to appear in the BCS standings during the last six seasons. LSU and Alabama have combined to appear in the BCS standings a total of 80 times.
• Posted an 8-2 record in BCS bowl games, more victories and a higher winning percentage than any other league. The Pac-12 is 5-3 in BCS bowl games; the Big East is 2-3; the Big 12 is 4-4; the Big Ten is 3-8; and the ACC is 1-4. Seven of the SEC's eight victories in BCS bowl games since 2006 were decided by 10 points or more.
