This is their 3rd time as trophy holder. They reeled of 2 additional wins after defeating Georgia in 1989, before falling to NC State. And tacked on 3 more victories after taking the trophy from Florida in 2010 before Cam Newton and the national Champion Auburn Tigers took it over in the SEC Championship game.
