re: The SEC Big Six vs. The SEC Big Six in the Modern Era

FWIW, the NCAA defines the "modern era" as string in 1937.


The number of opponent who finished ranked in SEC conference games since 1950:

1. Mississippi St. 192
2. Vanderbilt 184
3. Kentucky 183
4. Auburn 178
5. LSU 156
5. Florida 156
7. Tennessee 153
8. Alabama 152
9. Mississippi 149
10. Georgia 141

Obviously weren't in the conference the whole period:

11. Arkansas 75
12. South Carolina 72
13. Tulane 43
14. Georgia Tech 27


The combined conference record of opponents each team played in conference games (removing the head to head game):

1. Auburn (1386-1176-63)--0.54000
2. Arkansas (581-534-5)--0.52098
3. Mississippi St. (1315-1229-67)--0.51647
4. LSU (1264-1233-55)--0.50607
5. Florida (1255-1241-57)--0.50274
6. Kentucky (1265-1254-69)--0.50213
7. South Carolina (558-556-6)--0.50089
8. Tennessee (1258-1266-59)--0.49845
9. Georgia Tech (262-264-32)--0.49821
10. Vanderbilt (1238-1260-60)--0.49570
11. Alabama (22.92-14.40) (1288-1321-68)--0.49384
12. Georgia (1213-1310-62)--0.48124
13. Tulane (258-284-43)--0.47778
