Can we talk about what makes the big 6?

There seems to be some confusion about what defines tBig Six. Here is a little more info (I'm not including missouri or atm, considering they have a total of 3 years in this league):
All time wins (place nationally)
850 Alabama (7)
811 Tennessee (11)
777 Georgia (14)
761 LSU (15)
734 Auburn (19)
691 Florida (29)
The next closest SEC team is 645 Ole Miss (50).
All time win percentage
Alabama - .723
Tennessee - .680
LSU - .649
Georgia - .648
Auburn - .630
Florida - .629
Next closest is arkansas at .591
All Time SEC Titles
Alabama - 24
Tennessee - 13
Georgia - 12
LSU - 11
Auburn - 8
Florida - 8
Next closest is ole miss with 6, whose last title was FIFTY TWO years ago.
Bowl Game Appearances
Alabama - 61
Georgia - 50
Tennessee - 50
LSU - 46
Florida - 41
Arkansas- 40
Auburn - 38
Bowl game wins
Alabama - 34
Georgia - 28
Tennessee - 26
LSU - 23
Ole Miss - 23
Auburn - 22
Florida - 21
BCS Bowl Appearances
Florida - 7
Alabama - 6
LSU - 5
Georgia - 3
Auburn - 3
Tennessee - 2
*arkansas is the only other SEC team with an appearance (1)
"Claimed" national titles
Alabama - 15
Tennessee - 6
LSU - 3
Florida - 3
Ole Miss - 3
Georgia - 2
Auburn - 2
Are the big 6 the top 6 in every category in SEC history? No, of course not. But there's a common theme here right? Pretty much any major category one could choose to determine an SEC pecking order, you see the same 6 teams show up over and over with consistency. This isn't a flash in the pan type of deal where you have a team like boise or oregon who has recently gotten hot and starte winning. We're talking about teams that have been winning since the aughts and have long standing traditions of being the best 6 teams in the league. It's a fact, deal with it. The only time someone will replace a big 6 member is if over the next 30-50ish years a team makes up for previous decades worth of failures and a big 6 member just absolutely plunges into the toilet for a few decades as well. Sorry folks, but that aint happening.

Posted on 8/21/15 at 9:29 am to WG_Dawg

Now that the SEC is 14 teams, I think it's time for a Big 7.

Where did you get the data from?
Posted on 8/21/15 at 9:33 am to WG_Dawg
Good point about the big 6 - your obvious conclusion from the data is that the gap between Alabama and the number 2 team in the SEC is greater than any other two teams in the conference.

Fantastic research

in teh grand scheme of things it doesn't. Still, there is a clear and distinct pecking order and those 6 have separated themselves from the rest of the pack. It doesn't matter unless you care about prestige, winning, titles, etc..things of that nature.

I didn't make up the numbers from my brain, I used the internet.
Sure, I could have found a PDF version of each school's current media guide, navigated through the 100ish pages to find all time records for each school, then posted accordingly. But despite what you may think I'm not THAT bored.
There's 1 or 2 wins missing from your all time total? Holy shite! Who cares.

Great job, but one more thing you might want to add is SEC Winning %.
The only members of the SEC that have an overall conference winning % is The Big Six out of the 12 members since 1992.
Missouri most likely has one and A&M might, but with only 3 years to their credit compared to 80 years for original members and 20+ years for Ark and SC, that is simply not enough time to properly judge their programs ability to sustain a winning conference culture.
