The way that will always go in my mind is that they put the SEC champions banner up after the Alabama game and that picture is them having to brand the word "WEST" on the end after Georgia spanked them.

Yes, trying to motivate them for the next season. Then we kick off our best player in fall camp and TJ Yeldon screen happens...

Auburn actually won the west. It is possible to celebrate an achievement but recognize you failed at the larger goal.

How are they recognizing that they failed with banners and rings?

In other words, a participation trophy.

Never understood why you'd need to talk down the achievement of a team, even if they failed at their ultimate goals or goal. It's possible to be proud to be SEC West Champions and still be disappointed in not winning the SEC.



Pretty sure that no Auburn fan agreed whenever Arkansas won the SEC-W, so call me a little surprised.

I don’t get the hate. Pretty much the only school I haven’t seen make division rings is Bama

We didn't until Mac because he actually thought it was a big deal.

No need to be salty.

Congrats on your 2017 SEC-W Division Championship ring! I know Auburn didn't win the SEC like Georgia, or win the national title like Alabama, but finishing in 3rd place was much better than the rest of us.

Wow, looks like even Bama does do it (and under Saban, no less).

"Well, rings to me are for winning something," Saban said. "We did win our division. So, part of the bowl gift was that our players did get rings for that."
