What is the Pac10 vs SEC record in bowl games since 2000?

Answer 1

The answer is 0-0. The Pac-10 and SEC have not met in a single bowl game in the 21st century. During the regular season, the Pac 10 has a 10-5 record against the SEC, but those stats are skewed somewhat. Four of the ten Pac-10 wins are USC, while LSU is 3-0 against the Pac-10.

In fact, the two conferences did not play any bowl games in the 1990s, either. The last time the SEC and Pac-10 squared off in a bowl game occurred in 1987, when UCLA (with Troy Aikman) and Florida (with Emmitt Smith) met in the Aloha Bowl, won by UCLA, 20-16.

In the last 30 years (since 1977), the Pac-10 and SEC have only met in bowl games eight times. The overall record is 4-3-1, the one tie occurring in the 1985 Sun Bowl between Arizona and Georgia 13-13. The other games were:

1977 Sun Bowl - Stanford 24 LSU 14

1978 Bluebonnet Bowl - Stanford 25 Georgia 22

1985 Aloha Bowl - Alabama 24 USC 3

1986 Citrus Bowl - Auburn 16 USC 7

1986 Sun Bowl - Alabama 28 Washington 6

1987 Aloha Bowl - UCLA 20 Florida 16

1989 Freedom Bowl - Washington 34 Florida 7

The 1989 Freedom Bowl between Washington and Florida was the last time the two conferences met.
