Clearly for years Big 6 tag was the most prestigious tag in all of football. However, when we examine the state of the big 6 we find the east teams aren't pulling weight. UF is just now getting a student athlete center, they don't have an IPF or athletic dorms. UGA hasn't won a national title since before the BCS era and doesn't have a IPF. UT has a bcs title but they have been buried for a while. The west has every team in a bowl and the facilities at the non big 6 members of the west at worst match the big 6 members that are in the east. UF at least brings championships to the table but they also have a loss to ga. southern that isn't very big 6 like.

I don't know - how did Georgia do against the SECW this year?

Now beat it.

Well, if you look at it on a year-to-year basis, only Alabama had an impressive year this year from the Big 6.

LSU will be back next year, but they were obviously down.
Auburn has no defense, though that should get better.
Georgia is Georgia.
Florida has every available resource, but underachieves lately.
Tennessee seriously needs to step it up.

Alabama is on top now, but if you had looked at it year-to-year, they would have been out years ago.

As we keep saying, Tennessee is in danger of being replaced, but none of the other 8 want to step up and take the spot. So, they hang on.

LSU was the first SEC school to lose a BCS championship game.

Because UGA and UF like to stand in their own way historically.

Just be happy about that and don't ask any questions. It doesn't make sense, just is what it is.

No we're not, we're a founding fricking member a-hole.

Until one of the little 8 surpasses us in All Time NCs, Conference Championships, Wins, or Bowl appearances, we're not going anywhere.

Because we don't need one to be more successful than the lower half of the West.

UF is too busy winning SEC all sports trophies.

UF has a nuke reactor under the Swamp

Nuke reactor > IPF
