Going into the 1998 SEC Championship Game, State was 8-3 (losing at Oklahoma State, at LSU, and at UK by 2 points), and 6-2 in the conference. The SECCG has had many 6-2 SEC teams.

Arkansas since they've actually been there a few times. Of course that's only if they don't get booted out of the SEC first.

Of that group, Arkie will probably be the first to win the SECCG. They've been to it more times than any of the others, and actually had a shot at winning it in 2006. With LSU fading, they'll have a shot if they can sneak up on Bama every few years. Ole Miss and MSU won't likely win one any time soon, and nobody in the East other than Florida or maybe Georgia will make it to Atlanta in the near future.
After Arkie, it will probably be a long time before any of the others win it, so God only knows what the SEC landscape will look like that far down the road.

State was one game away in '99 from being the 1st team in the West to get to ATL twice but yet we have no shot at all of winning a SECCG.

Exactly, glad you understand.

Did you see a Big 12 in the title? Then GTFO.

Alabama went to four of the first five SECCG. Alabama played in Atlanta (rather than Birmingham) in both 1994 and 1996, so I really have no idea what you're talking about here NIH. Care to make yourself clearer?

i'm talking about back to back appearances in atlanta for western division teams. bama was the 1st to do it this year, and coincidentally you kept us from doing it in '99.

That's sort of disingenuous. Alabama went to three in a row (1992-1994); I don't see what the fact that it was Birmingham vs. Atlanta for the first two has anything to do with it.

cool. i was talking about state. my point was we've been there, we've been close, and we can make it again and possibly win. not saying it's a gurantee or anything. the only teams i don't think have any chance are UK and Vandy. OM, SC, or State could at least make it, IMO, and of course then you have a 50/50 shot to win it.

I don't see the need in the "sort of" part.

disingenuous- giving a false appearance of simple frankness; ie he presented the matter in a way that was not totally frank (ie while Miss St. might have been the first to make it back to back to Atlanta, it would not have been the first to make it back to back to the SEC championship game- disingenuous becuase 'Atlanta' is generally used as a Metonymy for getting to the SEC championship)

Alabama went to Atlanta in 1994 and 1996.
Also, State was cheating in the 1990's. They'll have to cheat again to matter.
Posted on 5/3/10 at 4:25 pm to xiv
i meant back to back.
cheating may have played a part but it wasn't the sole reason. If you win you can attract good talent to the program, look at our 2007 season and the class that resulted from it that Mullen finished in '09.
