4. Oklahoma State: 51


One of the best, if not the best, golf program in the nation. Produced some really good golfers throughout the years. Rickie Fowler being more prominently known.

Congrats on the two titles 10 years ago, but Alabama has a much better winning percentage in basketball than Florida.

Alabama: 1636-1012-1 .618 W-L%

Florida: 1387-1083 .561 W-L%

Fact is if you check the SEC winning % in football, basketball and baseball,along with the total number of wins in each sport, it's easy to see who is historically superior...numbers don't lie.

Comparing Bama to Florida in basketball cannot be a real thing, right? Maybe I took the bait.

Depending on the year, it is between A&M, UGA and LSU. UGA is the only other school to have won the SEC All Sports trophy in the last 25 years.

So Michigan is the all time best football program?

Alabama may have had a superior history to UF basketball before the mid 1990's, but Kruger and Donovan changed the face of Gator basketball. Can't dismiss the 2 national titles, but even if you did there are still another 3 Final Fours and a title game appearance. It may be only 20 years, but they have been that special.

Wrestling program is elite, too. The National Wrestling HOF is in Stillwater and is pretty cool if anyone has a reason to be there.

As a Bama fan, I'll keep continually being a contender every year in Football than being a powerhouse in women's soccer or men's bball.

#1 is certainly up for debate (LSU certainly has an argument). The ninja trying to say that Alabama has a better athletics program than UF though...
It would be silly to include Alabama in the conversation for current best SEC program, but speaking from a historical perspective, Alabama would certainly be a player.
