Why not include Texas, Auburn and Florida? Also I’m correcting your numbers:
National Titles (AP or UPI/Coaches only)
LSU- 4
Texas- 4
Georgia- 3
Auburn- 2
Florida- 2
SEC Titles
Georgia- 14
Tennessee- 13
LSU- 12
Auburn- 8
Florida 8
Texas- N/A
(Bowls are a useless metric)
Weeks ranked in AP Poll:
Texas- 757
LSU- 649
Georgia- 644
Tennessee- 603
Auburn- 602

Because Auburn and Florida aren't remotely close to being in the discussion and Texas isn't in the league.

Pretty disingenuous to limit to just these polls while holding this sentiment

(Bowls are a useless metric)
Polls are historically incredibly biased toward northeastern media (understandably so up until the 70s/80s as majority of the subscribers lived in the northeast/Midwest). The AP and Coaches are quite different over the past 30+ years compared to the 1920s-1960s (just like the bowls).
Speaking of which, the teams you’re looking at have been in consistent competition for the same bowl games with approximately the same resources for their whole program histories so I don’t understand excluding bowls from the conversation.
