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



The first I remember of it being actually tied in was in 1992 when the Bowl Coalition was started. It could have been started before this but that was the earliest I remember people actually talking about the tie in.

We went to the Sugar Bowl as SEC Champions in '75, '77, '78, and '79. Georgia went to the Sugar Bowl in their SEC championship seasons of '76, '80, '81, and '82. I may be assuming too much but I believe the Sugar Bowl tie-in began in 1975.

That is the first I remember as an official tie-in also. I forgot about the bowl coalition days and how it had to put in non SEC schools. VA Tech/TExas in '95.
