In the 2008 SEC Championship game, Florida scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns -- one on a short Jeff Demps run, the other on a pass from Tim Tebow to Riley Cooper -- to ice a 31-20 win over Nick Saban's upstart Alabama and clinch a spot in the BCS Championship game. It was the second league title in three years for Urban Meyer's Gators and the 11th in 16 years for a team from the SEC East.
At the time, we didn't realize just how much of an "old guard vs. new guard" moment we were witnessing. Florida is 0-4 in the conference title game since -- with all four losses coming to the Tide -- and the East has secured only a single title in the last 12 years: Georgia's 2017 romp over Auburn.
