re: Alabama, Georgia, and Florida are the top 3 teams in the SEC since 1970

Wrong answer. In the early 90s Alabama got busted for Antonio Langham signing a napkin for an agent, in the celebratory aftermath of the national title win vs Miami. The ncaa decided UA should forfeit victories for the games in which he played the next season.

Around the same time, I think a year after or prior to UA's case, Auburn coaches were found to have paid players, and Auburn had only to give up the few tv games for one year that teams played back then. I think they also had to give up one bowl game. COACHES PAID PLAYERS.
