What SEC team has the most championships in all sports?
The SEC is one of the best conferences in all of collegiate sports, especially college football. And for good reason: almost all of the member teams in the Southeastern Conference have experienced immense athletic success, winning national championships in a lot of different disciplines.
But just how many has each member school won?
Well, we will answer that right now with cold, hard numbers. We will include both men's and women's SEC teams in this list. However, we'll only be focusing on the NCAA. That said, let's begin!
