Auburn was solidly in the College Football Playoff conversation when December began.

Then the Tigers lost to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, and their losing streak hit two on Monday when they lost 34-27 to UCF in the Peach Bowl.

It was the SEC’s 33rd bowl loss since the 2010 season (starting with bowl games from December 2010 and January 2011) and came just moments after the league’s 32nd bowl loss in that span, LSU’s defeat against Notre Dame in the Citrus Bowl.

Which got us to thinking: What are the SEC’s worst bowl losses in this decade?

Sometimes SEC teams lose to teams outside the Power 5. For instance, Auburn on Monday. UCF finished the season as the only undefeated team in the Football Bowl Subdivision and the Knights have a fair bit of talent, but there’s a reason the Tigers were a 15-point favorite going in.

Here’s a look at that loss and nine others for the SEC in bowls since the 2010 season, in chronological order:

Georgia, 2010 Liberty (10-6 to UCF)

This might not even have been a upset, even if it was an SEC team against a Group of 5 team. Georgia was 6-6 coming in and Conference USA champion UCF was 10-3. But scoring six points against a Knights team that had allowed 30 points in each of three consecutive games midway through the season against C-USA competition? Ugh, UGA.

LSU, January 2012 BCS title game (21-0 to Alabama)

Yes, it’s hard to beat a team twice in one season, as the Tigers were trying to do. And yes, Alabama brought a strong defense as usual, with the Crimson Tide leading the nation in fewest points allowed. But 92 yards of total offense? … Put it this way, LSU gained exactly 2 more yards than Kent State did in Alabama’s opener. Every other Tide foe at least broke 100.

Florida, January 2013 Sugar (33-23 to Louisville)

This was Louisville’s finale as a Big East member. So this was not technically a Power 5 vs. Group of 5 matchup, but it was no secret that the Big East was the weakling of the six conferences whose champions qualified for BCS bowls. The Gators were third in the final BCS rankings and the Cardinals 21st, but Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater passed for 266 yards and two scores to end Florida coach Will Muschamp’s best season in Gainesville on a sour note.

Georgia, January 2014 Gator (24-19 to Nebraska)

The Bulldogs were 22nd in the final BCS rankings; Nebraska was unranked and entered this game as a 9-point underdog. The Bulldogs outgained the Cornhuskers 416-307 but one really, really big play gave Nebraska a 24-12 lead, too much for the Bulldogs to overcome:

Alabama, January 2014 Sugar (45-31 to Oklahoma)

Losing to the Sooners is usually no shame, but the way the Crimson Tide lost this one stood out. Trevor Knight passed for 348 yards and four touchdowns against an Alabama defense that had only surrendered one 250-yard passing game all season coming in, and the Tide allowed 17 consecutive points after leading 17-14.

Ole Miss, 2014 Peach (42-3 to TCU)

Ole Miss came in ranked No. 9 and TCU No. 6, so on paper this matchup should have been pretty even. On the field it was ugly, and was the SEC’s most lopsided bowl loss in this decade. The Rebels were outgained 423-129 and were never remotely in it.

Florida, January 2016 Citrus (41-7 to Michigan)

The Gators took their second-worst bowl loss in program history — but at least that worst loss was to an excellent Nebraska team at the Fiesta Bowl to determine the national champion. For this one, the Wolverines entered at No. 14 in the final CFP rankings and the Gators at No. 19, yet the margin between the teams looked much larger as Michigan outgained Florida 503-273 and turned a 17-7 halftime lead into a rout.

Arkansas, 2016 Belk (35-24 to Virginia Tech)

The Hokies were 22nd in the final CFP rankings and Arkansas was unranked, but in the first half the Razorbacks looked like the ones who should have been in the Top 25. Then the final 30 minutes came, and Virginia Tech erased a 24-0 deficit with 35 consecutive points. In retrospect, this game was the beginning of the end for Bret Bielema’s tenure as Arkansas coach.

Texas A&M, 2017 Belk (55-52 to Wake Forest)

Both teams entered 7-5 and the Aggies had already fired Kevin Sumlin, so a Texas A&M loss wasn’t a shock. But A&M squandered a 14-0 lead by allowing 31 consecutive points in a span reminiscent of its season-opening collapse against UCLA. The Aggies fought back, but allowed a season-high 646 yards and the most points the program has ever allowed in a bowl.

Auburn, 2018 Peach (34-27 to UCF)

The Tigers, No. 7 in the final CFP rankings, barely outgained the No. 12 Knights 421-411. But a critical 45-yard interception return for a touchdown by UCF’s Chequan Burkett in the fourth quarter put Auburn in too deep of a hole. The Tigers were driving late but Jarrett Stidham threw another interception, this time to Antwan Collier in the end zone, to seal it.
