I just remember Alabama has the most total wins against other Big 6 teams while LSU was dead last.
To be fair, Big 6 membership has changed greatly over the years.
From the SEC's start in 1933 until the 1980s Auburn and Florida had won only 1 SEC title combined (and that single title was won by a team on NCAA probation). Alabama and LSU did not play either of those schools for years after the SEC was founded.
Bama and LSU did play Ole Miss and Tulane (which won 9 SEC titles combined early on) annually back then, however.

Through 1979, SEC National Titles looked like this:
Alabama- 6
Auburn- 1
LSU-1
Tennessee- 1
Florida- 0
Georgia- 0
Weeks ranked in AP Poll (1936-1979, national rank)
7. Alabama- 318
8. Tennessee- 250
13. LSU- 208
15. Ole Miss- 190
16. Auburn- 165
22. Georgia- 135
Trying to pretend that Auburn hasn’t always been Big 6 is not credible. Florida maybe. Not Auburn.
