    Since the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri, the SEC's evolution has been interesting over the past decade.

    Several mid-tier programs have risen and fallen, while Alabama has maintained top dog status under Nick Saban. Only over the past five seasons has Georgia truly entered the fray as a consistent contender with the Crimson Tide, despite still having one of the better winning percentages over the last ten seasons.

    Take a look and our ranking of the SEC since 2012, as well as a projection as to where these programs will be after ten more years.
