The SEC has long been hailed as the best conference in college football, so winning games in the conference is not easy.
The Southeastern Conference features the likes of the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, LSU Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers, and Ole Miss Rebels among countless other top programs.
Although some SEC schools do win games outside of the conference, winning conference games is tough. Here are the top five longest-losing streaks in SEC football history.
