Summary
- Auburn holds the record for the largest SEC title game victory with a 39-point margin.

- This decisive win foreshadowed Auburn's subsequent national championship that year.
While the SEC Championship game is often celebrated for its thrilling contests, it has also featured significant blowouts. Since its inception in 1992, not all matchups have been competitive, with some decided by lopsided scores.
Auburn holds the record for the most lopsided victory, achieving a 39-point margin in their 56-17 win against South Carolina in the 2010 championship. Quarterback Cam Newton was the star, contributing six touchdowns and amassing nearly 400 yards of total offense.
This resounding victory proved to be more than just a game; it foreshadowed Auburn's eventual capture of their ninth national championship just one month later. Auburn is among a select group of teams that have achieved a 30-point or greater margin of victory in the SEC title game.
