UGA No. 2 in SEC all-sports standings. Surprised?
It won’t surprise anyone that Florida was the most successful sports program in the SEC during the 2009-10 school year, but it might surprise some that Georgia was the second most successful.
Florida is the runaway winner of the SEC All-Sports Trophy, while Georgia — despite disappointing seasons in football and several other sports — is the runner-up, solidly ahead of third-place Tennessee.
The annual award is based on a points system tied to each school’s SEC finish in each sport, men’s and women’s. Schools get 12 points for a first-place finish, 11 for a second-place finish, etc. A school’s cumulative point total is divided by the number of teams it fields. The award is coordinated and presented by the New York Times Regional Media Group, which includes 14 newspapers in the Southeast.
Florida had a total of 163 points, or an average of 10.19 per team, for this school year . Georgia had 133 points, or 8.31 per team. Here are the full standings:
2009-2010 SEC ALL-SPORTS STANDINGS
(Includes men’s and women’s teams)
School Points Teams Avg. per team
1. Florida 163 16 10.19
2. Georgia 133 16 8.31
3. Tennessee 115.5 15 7.70
4. LSU 120.5 16 7.53
5. Auburn 111.5 16 6.97
6. Ole Miss 86.5 13 6.65
7. Arkansas 96 15 6.40
8. Alabama 101.5 16 6.34
9. Kentucky 94.5 16 5.91
10. Vanderbilt 68.5 12 5.71
11.South Carolina 82.5 15 5.50
12. Mississippi State 44 13 3.38
(Note: Indoor and outdoor track and field and cross-country are combined.)
In addition to the overall trophy, separate awards are given to the conference’s top-performing school(s) in men’s sports and women’s sports. Florida won both of those trophies, too.
The Gators’ men’s teams averaged 10.79 points, far ahead of second-place Mississippi’s 7.92. Auburn finished third among the men’s teams (7.36), with Georgia and Tennessee tying for fourth (7.14).
On the women’s side, Florida’s teams averaged 9.72 points, while Georgia was second at 9.22.

2nd is same as last? So Jim Furyk, who is second in PGA with winnings of $2,588,070 is same as D.J Trahan with winnings of $815,509? In Sprint Cup racing Jimmie Johnson is 2nd with winnings of $2,689,300, while Martin Truex iw 25th at $1,422,500. When put in this perspective, second sound pretty darn good to me.

I believe that the SEC All Sports Trophy is really more of a reflection of where your overall athletic program is at compared to your peers rather than to be looked at as a final score at a ballgame. So I’ll just say congrats to the University of Georgia program for a job well done as they compare extremely favorably in the conference as a whole. It IS hard to compete with the jaggernaut program that Jeremy Foley and his staff have built in Gainesville, but being second “in your class” ain’t too bad either. I think UGA did a good job.

Hey Auburn Guy – I agree with you on the baseball! If BAMA can’t get it done – I hope you guys will – let’s keep it in the STATE of ALABAMA!!!
One other note – I personally HATE AUBURN!!! However, I want you guys to be good – damn good – for two reasons: 1. When Auburn is good – it forces ALABAMA to be better. 2. It’s better to beat a good Auburn team than a bad one!!!
Hate – but respect!!!

This all sports title is very diificult for anyone to win. I am proud that UF won, but UGA also had a good year.
In September, all SEC Schools will start out with zero points. Good luck to everyone in the SEC.
It would be great to see USC get stripped of the football championship for 2004 and have it given to Auburn, but it will only be an asterisk which is too bad.
Go Gators.

“but it will only be an asterisk which is too bad.”
It’s on an asterisk if they cheated. And……..Auburn didn’t cheat. If USC is stripped then Auburn will either split it with OU or get it outright.

My take, regardless of the results, is more of a tabulation/rules nature. As I read it, a school’s finish within the coference standings alone for a sport is what is counted. However, shouldn’t a school’s performance in postseason also carry weight? For example, if KY finishes second in the conference, but wins the overall national title shouldn’t they win extra points? Same could be said for the GymDawgs, Bama football, LSU track, etc. If you win a national title extra creedance should be given, IMHO. And what about those sports who’s national titles haven’t even been decided yet such as softball, baseball, tennis, track & field, and golf? If an SEC squad wins a national title in one of these sports shouldn’t they be awarded extra points? What would it cost to hold off until the final out at Omaha is made by a possible SEC baseball team contending for a national title– two or three weeks? Not very long in the grand scheme of things. Anyway, congrats under the current system to Florida.

Why is this news? It is like this every year.
The Gators blew away the field thanks to seven SEC titles and a strong performance by its men’s programs to win the SEC All-Sports trophy for the 20th time.
It was the 10th sweep for the Gator athletics program. UF is the only school to collect all three titles in a single season.
Florida has won 20 of the last 23 All-Sports awards.
Kiffin is my Hero

ALL I can say to Tennessee fans is Kiffin treated your program like it deserves to be treated as second rate. To florida fans your head coach fakes MI’s and wishes he was at a school with real football tradition at ND. To Alabama, you owe it all to SABAN and when he leaves for a better job you will be back to nothing but 6 wins a year. TO Auburn you have and always play the second favorite to Alabama in Alabama.

Congrats to UGA and UT for representing themselves well.
To the Dawg fans pilling hate on here, how many of you actually attended UGA? I’d bet less than 5%. Most alumni have more class.
