SEC Track and Field dominates the collegiate sport. Why do I say that? Here's why. * Since 1990 The SEC has won 15 of 18 Men's Division I Outdoor Track & Field Team Championships. In that same time period the SEC has taken 12 Women's Division I Outdoor Track & Field Team Championships – including Auburn in 2006. * Southeastern Conference (SEC) Track and Field has won and INCREDIBLE 22 of the past 24 Men's Indoor Div. I NCAA Track & Field Championships – including Arkansas in 2006. In that same time period, SEC Women have taken the Indoor Team Championship 13 times. * The final 2007 Men's Trackwire Online Poll had 7 SEC teams in the top 25 (3 in the Top 10). This compared to 3 for the Big 12; 3 for the PAC-10; 3 for the ACC; and 2 for the Big Ten. The final 2006 Women's poll had six teams in the top 20. The PAC-10 had 4; Big Ten 4; ACC 2; and Big 12 -- 2.
2. PAC-10 Arizona State Women's team won the 2007 NCAA Indoors and Outdoor Championships. Stanford won the Men's Outdoor Championship in 2000 and if you go back more than 20 years you find that both UCLA and USC have had strong programs historically. Also UCLA and USC have both taken a Women's Outdoor Championship once in the past decade. For Indoor – the UCLA Women won their Championship in 2000 and 2001. The final 2006 polls showed 3 PAC-10 teams in the Men's poll and 5 in the Women's top-25. 3. Big 12 This is largely because of the strength of the Texas Longhorns Women's Track & Field program. Texas won the Women's outdoor championship in 1998, 1999, and 2005. Texas also won the Women's Indoor Championship in 1998, 1999 and 2006. Texas also ended up with 5 teams in the Men's final 2006 top 25. 4. ACC Florida State won the 2006 and 2007 Men's Outdoor Championship. ACC had three teams in both the Men's and Women's final poll. 5. Big Ten Wisconsin won the Men's Indoor T&F in 2007. Otherwise, no championships in the recent past. 2 Men's teams and 4 women's in the 2006 final top 20.  Get your Fan Merchandise, Tickets, Trips and Rebate.
