re: Rank the SEC champions of the 1980s...

Auburn won a national title in the late 50s when they were on probation.

The national title included an actual trophy, presented by the AP. Probation is completely irrelevant.

That UF team was one of the best in the SEC in the 80s, and they deserve the title

Whether they deserve it or not is irrelevant. The title was officially vacated and is still listed that way by the SEC record book.
