Not only 5 straight, but 8 consecutive championships that an SEC team has played in dating back to Florida in...I wanna say '96?
It was a great game, and you gotta give props to Oregon as well. I enjoyed watching the game, as I had no real vested interest in either team other than the "sportsman's appreciation" thing, although I do have to admit to pulling for the Ducks just a little. Would have been nice to see a Pac 10 champ for once. Ah well.
As is usually the case in these championship games, things didn't go as predicted. For two teams that posted a shitload of points (Oregon averaging almost 50 per game this year!), it was stuck at 19-11 for a long time. Excellent defensive schemes on both sides of the ball. While Oregon came up with the slightly more exciting big plays, Auburn just got into a rhythm and found the weak spots, wore 'em down. (And it was funny that the score was 11-9 for a bit, and the team with 11 wasn't the one with the safety!)
All in all, a very good game and congrats to the Auburn Tigers on their first championship since '57.

True. I'm no Auburn fan but wanted to see the SEC get another crystal
football. Just found out Les Miles is going to stay at LSU. Depending on our
QB status, maybe my Tigers might be in the hunt next year.
Over all the SEC was 5 and 5 in bowl games. Arkansas let "the ohio state" get
by them and broke their 9 game losing streak to the SEC.
I hate to see college football, save the couple of senior bowl games, end. It
will be a long dry spell until next september. LSU meets Oregan up in Dallas
in the Jerry Bowl to kick off next years schedule.
