So which one decided 2010? LSU/Aub or Aub/Ark? 2001 as well. Do I need to squint?

What about 92 and 98?

I was surprised to see '93 Alabama/Arkansas on that list, since we sucked so bad that year (new head coach, but still walloped LSU). Alabama thrashed us 43-3 in BDS that year, but was later forced to forfeit the game by the NCAA


It is because Auburn was ineligible that year to win the West despite being 8-0 in conference play. Auburn's record helped make the records for Alabama/Arkansas look especially weak for a divisional champion.

Both. It's really not as difficult to grasp as you seem to be making it.

Had Arky beat Auburn in 2010, the Hogs would have gone to Atlanta. Also, had LSU beat Auburn in 2010, LSU would have gone to Atlanta.

Game that most often decides the SEC West:
*There can be multiple in a given season

1) Auburn vs. LSU
Years in which it decided the West: 1997, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2010

2) Alabama vs. LSU
Years in which it decided the West: 1996, 2001, 2005, 2011, 2012

3) Auburn vs. Arkansas
Years in which it decided the West: 1995, 2002, 2006, 2010

4) Arkansas vs. LSU
Years in which it decided the West: 2001, 2002, 2011*

5t) Alabama vs. Arkansas
Years in which it decided the West: 1993, 1995

5t) Alabama vs. Mississippi State
Years in which it decided the West: 1999, 2014

7t) LSU vs. Ole Miss
Years in which it decided the West: 2003

7t) Arkansas vs. Mississippi State

*(If Arkansas had beaten LSU in 2011, there would have been 3-way tie for the West among LSU, Alabama and Arkansas, with the tiebreaker result uncertain)


Fixed or eliminated the ones I saw were mistakes, added some you left out.

Organized by team, ranking by number of SEC West-deciding games each team has played in, with their record in those games in parentheses:

1. LSU 16 (9-7)
2. Auburn 12 (6-6)
3t. Alabama 10 (5-5)
3t. Arkansas 10 (5-5)
5. Mississippi State 3 (1-2)
6. Ole Miss 1 (0-1)
7. Texas A&M 0

Auburn-LSU is criminally underrated.

Awesome series.

Since 2008 (with the exception of Chiz's year of dominance in 2010) all roads to Atlanta have gone through Tuscaloosa.

I seem to remember Bama went down a road in 2013 that hit a dead-end at Jordan-Hare Stadium... but I may have just imagined that.

Unless im mistaken, given that one of the teams has to actually go to the SEC Championship game, its pretty easy to see why they are not listed very often.

"through Tuscaloosa" as in had to beat Bama to make it to the SECCG. Auburn did that year, you're right. Here's your gold star.

Florida Tennessee 2001 then underdog lsu fricked it all up.

So everyone needs to calm down. The winner could lose to some nothing team or decent team left on schedule.
