Kentucky could win SEC by record-tying number of games

UK has already clinched its 45th regular season SEC title.  Now it's just a question of "by how much?"


If they finish 16-0, it will be only the third time any SEC team has done that.  The first two were also Wildcat teams, in 1996 and 2003.


If UK wins its final two games, AND Vanderbilt loses its final game on the road at Tennessee (a decent chance of that), UK would win the whole SEC by a 6-game margin.


But that wouldn't be unprecedented.  It would only tie the 1996 team, which not only won the SEC by 6 games over eventual national semifinalist Mississippi State, but also won the East by a whopping 7 games over the 9-7 Georgia Bulldogs.


Largest league-winning margins in SEC divisional play (since 1991-92 season):
1) 1996 Kentucky (16-0) - 6 games
2) 2003 Kentucky (16-0) - 4 games
3) 2007 Florida (13-3) - 3 games
