The season began on September 3 with South Carolina defeating North Carolina on ESPN.http://www.secsports.com/article/11701342/2015-football-schedule-announced 2015 Football Schedule announced Secsports.com 2014-10-15 2015-04-04 This was the fourth season for the SEC under realignment that took place in 2012 adding Texas A&M and Missouri from the Big 12 Conference. The SEC is a Power Five conference under the College Football Playoff format along with the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Big Ten Conference, and the Pac-12 Conference. The SEC consists of 14 members: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt; and is split up into the East and West divisions, with the champion of each division meeting in Atlanta to compete for the SEC Championship on December 5. Alabama began the season as defending SEC champions as they defeated Missouri in the previous year's championship game. Alabama would then go on to participate in the first ever College Football Playoff as the number one overall seed, and would lose their semi-final match to eventual National Champion Ohio State by a score of 42–35.Cardale Jones, in 2nd career start, leads Ohio State in upset of Alabama Associated Press January 1, 2015 https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=400610178 ESPN August 27, 2015 The SEC entered the 2015 season with high expectations, including a record 10 teams ranked in the preseason AP Poll.Sanders Ron AP Poll has record 10 SEC teams, including entire SEC West 247Sports 2015-09-08 https://247sports.com/college/auburn/Article/ap-poll-has-record-10-sec-teams-including-entire-sec-west-39271100/ 2024-11-24 Great finishes and bowl wins for teams like Tennessee and Arkansas at the conclusion of 2014, in addition to traditional favorites Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Florida, led many to predict a huge year for the SEC. However, the regular season featured early non-conference upsets including Toledo over Arkansas and Memphis over Ole Miss, and down years from Auburn, Missouri, and South Carolina. Alabama was crowned SEC champions after defeating Florida in the SEC Championship Game, and earned their second consecutive appearance in the College Football Playoff. As the number two overall seed, the Tide defeated Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl 38–0, and capped off the season with a 45–40 victory in the National Championship Game over Clemson. The victory secured Alabama's fourth national championship in seven years, and the eighth national championship for the SEC in ten seasons.January 12, 2016 Alabama wins 10th AP national title with win over No. 1 Clemson https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/14553585/alabama-crimson-tide-claim-10th-ap-national-title-fourth-last-7 January 12, 2016 ESPN.com Associated Press Preseason Recruiting classes + National rankings Team ESPNhttps://insider.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/classrankings?class=2015 Football Class Rankings – ESPN ESPN 2015-04-04 Rivalshttps://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/teamrank/2015/all/all Yahoo Sports: Rivals.com 2015 Team Recruiting Rankings Sports.yahoo.com 2011-04-20 2015-04-04 Scout http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=9&c=14&yr=2015 Scout.com College Football Team Recruiting Rankings 21 July 2015 Scout https://web.archive.org/web/20150313054824/http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=9&c=14&yr=2015 2015-03-13 24/7https://247sports.com/Season/2015-Football/CompositeTeamRankings 2015 Football Recruiting Team Rankings 247sports.com 2015-04-04 Total signeesAlabama #1 #2 #2 #1 24Arkansas #22 #25 #22 #23 24Auburn #7 #6 #3 #9 27Florida #20 #23 #29 #21 20Georgia #8 #7 #5 #10 29Kentucky #43 #35 #44 #40 23LSU #10 #8 #12 #5 25Ole Miss #19 #21 #16 #17 22Mississippi State #16 #16 #18 #18 28Missouri #18 #27 #26 #25 23South Carolina #21 #19 #20 #19 31Tennessee #5 #5 #4 #4 27Texas A&M #12 #10 #10 #12 25Vanderbilt #44 #47 #72 #46 18 SEC Media Days Media Polls The SEC Media Days concluded with its annual preseason media polls.

Jim McElwain was hired to replace Will Muschamp at Florida. Muschamp's four-year tenure was filled with highs and lows, but he announced his resignation at the end of the season compiling a 28–22 record as the head coach, 17–15 in the SEC. Muschamp agreed to become the defensive coordinator for Auburn following his resignation. McElwain takes over the Gators after leading Colorado State to a 22–16 record in three seasons, turning the program into one of the best offensive teams in the country. McElwain had previously served as Alabama's offensive coordinator under Nick Saban from 2008 to 2011, winning two national titles.https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/11977425/jim-mcelwain-becomes-florida-gators-coach?ex_cid=sportscenterFB ESPN.com Jim McElwain to coach Florida 4 December 2014 28 July 2015 On October 12, halfway through the season with a 2–4 record (0–4 in SEC play), South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier unexpectedly resigned. Concerning his resignation Spurrier said, "My answer has always been the same: If it starts going south, starts going bad, then I need to get out. ... It's time for me to get out of the way and give somebody else a go at it." Spurrier was in his 11th season as head coach of the Gamecocks compiling a record of 86–49, the most wins in school history. After the resignation, offensive coordinator Shawn Elliott took over head coaching duties.https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/13879057/steve-spurrier-south-carolina-gamecocks-announces-resignation ESPN.com Steve Spurrier announces resignation 13 October 2015 14 October 2015 Another coaching change took place during the season when on November 14, Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel announced that he would be resigning from his position at the conclusion of the season. Pinkel said he was resigning for health reasons, citing his diagnoses with lymphoma earlier in May. The announcement came during a tumultuous time in Columbia as the university and community were also dealing with race relation issues which lead to the school's president and chancellor also resigning. Upon completing his 15th season at Missouri, Pinkel will finish his coaching career with the most wins, games coached, and bowl victories in program history.https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/14122405/coach-gary-pinkel-resigning-missouri-tigers-health-reasons-cited ESPN.com Gary Pinkel has lymphoma, is resigning from Missouri 13 November 2015 16 November 2015 Two days after the regular season ended, the University of Georgia made the decision to fire 15th year head coach, Mark Richt. Richt finished his head coaching career at Georgia with a record of 145–51, the second-most wins in school history, 2 SEC championships, and a record of 9–5 in bowl games. Richt was replaced by long-time Alabama defensive coordinator, Kirby Smart, a Georgia alumnae and former player. It is Smart's first head coaching job. Only 3 days after leaving Georgia, Richt was announced as the new head coach for the Miami Hurricanes, where he also is a former alumnae and player.https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/14249377/mark-richt-fired-coach-georgia-bulldogs ESPN.com Mark Richt out at Georgia 29 November 2015 15 December 2015https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/14275799/miami-hurricanes-name-mark-richt-new-head-coach ESPN.com Sources: Mark Richt to be named new Hurricanes coach 2 December 2015 15 December 2015 Note: The stats shown are before the beginning of the season.
