Despite the outdated and/or incorrect data posted so far in this thread, this is actually an interesting topic. When have SEC teams met in national-level championship games for the major sports? Off the top of my head, both Bama and LSU do quite well:

Football--2011: Alabama 21, LSU 0 (BCS National title)
Basketball--1986: LSU 59, Kentucky 57 (NCAA Regional title)
Baseball--1997: LSU 13, Alabama 6 (NCAA National title)
Baseball--1999: Alabama 13, LSU 5 (NCAA Super Regional title)
Baseball--2011: South Carolina 5, Florida 2 (NCAA National title)

Wow - 14 pages and only 2 Bammers. Kinda impressed.

Alabama is clearly #1 in football and is in the top 1/3 in basketball and baseball. We have been consistently solid in both sports but have never gotten over the hump (FF in BBALL, CWS Title in Baseball). So we have been good for longer than most, but others have reached higher heights.

The Alabama basketball teams of the 80's and baseball teams of the 90's were elite, but they never broke the glass ceiling. Since then both have been solid but never gotten close to the level we reached in those periods.

So in conclusion, this conversation is the definition of OHMYGAWD MY TEAM IS BETTER LOOK AT MY HANDPICKED STATS.
