The only other team to do that since 2005 was 2013 Florida State.

2021 - Georgia (beat Alabama)
2020 - Alabama
2019 - LSU (beat Alabama)
2018 - Clemson (beat Alabama)
2017 - Alabama
2016 - Clemson (beat Alabama)
2015 - Alabama
2014 - Ohio State (beat Alabama)
2013 - Florida State
2012 - Alabama
2011 - Alabama
2010 - Auburn (beat Alabama)
2009 - Alabama
2008 - Florida (beat Alabama)
2007 - LSU (beat Alabama)
