When did it first start tying into the Sugar Bowl?

First of all, winning the SEC was and has always been a big deal. In some ways it was a bigger deal then. With that said, the tie-in game after the 1975 season, the first year the game was in the Superdome.

Now, SEC teams for eons played in the Sugar prior to that.

Ya to my knowledge this was one of the only years it really benefited Alabama, but it does seem pretty unfair now that people put so much into how many SEC titles your school has.

it wasn't an official tie in but they always tried to get an SEC team since 1950 until maybe the BCS era.
