re: Is there a consensus #2 football program in the SEC, historically?

After the 2016 season, here is where teams ranked in all-time AP points (25 pts for a 1st place finish, 24 pts for 2nd, etc) 2. Bama- 1015 9. Tennessee- 686 11. LSU- 624 13. Auburn- 555 14. Georgia- 550 16. Florida- 499 At that time, Florida and LSU had 3 National Titles, Auburn and Tennessee had 2. And Georgia had just one. Georgia was easily 6th out of 6. Not until UGA won its second title in 2021 did they pull ahead of Auburn and Florida.

If AP points and MNCs are your criteria, this makes sense. What about other data points?

Winning percentage
Wins
Conference titles
Bowl Games
etc?
