It's measuring SEC, not national and UGA has 2 more than LSU does, but you got a point, and if you want to measure it that way, fine by me. That took me like 3 minutes. It took way longer to type than to calculate it. It's all a little subjective anyway.

One issue is national titles component encompasses time further back than the life of the SEC, yet the SEC titles portion and winning percentage portion do not. Not sure how much that would change the numbers, but just something I noticed. For instance, total conference titles, LSU has 16 and Georgia 15, which would include conference titles when most of us were in the SoCon and SIAA. Alabama has 3 national titles and LSU 1 before the formation of the SEC using ncaa.com numbers.

My rough math would give LSU a total of 435 points and UGA 380 if you included all conference titles. If you started this with all numbers being when the SEC was founded, LSU's total goes down to 335 and Alabama's down to 520.

It's honestly crazy how close UGA and LSU are with pretty much every quantifiable metric, whether it be national titles, conference titles, SEC only titles, weeks ranked, weeks ranked in the top 10, weeks ranked at #1, all-time record, number of AAs, Heisman trophies, draft picks, 1st round picks, etc.
