I don't think the "Big 6" categorization is relevant, at least not beyond the simple enjoyment of fans of those teams on an online forum.

UGA recruited top five even after a 7-5 season. Auburn could not manage to recruit top ten and fired their coach after winning a national championship. That is the difference between true bluebloods / "staying power" and momentary ascendance courtesy of a once-in-a-generation transfer (i.e, Cam Newton).

LSU won a Natty two years ago and is now ranked #20 in recruiting.

Current strength of program rankings:
1. Alabama
2. UGA
3. Toss-up: LSU, Florida, or Ole Miss (as long as Kiffin stays)
6. A&M
7. Auburn
8. UK
9. Arkansas
10. Etc.

There’s your first mistake. Last time I checked, #5 was in fact, top-ten.

Also ignoring Auburn played for the NC 3 years later with a "once in a generation" DB playing QB or that Auburn has an undefeated season just 6 years before the NC with a "once in a generation" Jason Campbell at QB.

Second mistake is rating 2 schools Auburn beat last year in your current rankings. You also include a school that has never won our division, despite the talent

When was the last time UGA won every game on their schedule?

I figured UGA finally popping their cherry would get them past Nick Fairley, but I guess that isn’t the case. It's a shame.
