The problem with just “Big 6” games all time is it rewards programs that played Florida in the 1940s while discounting teams who played Ole Miss.. who was a powerhouse in that day.
It doesn’t count tough conference games played against Georgia Tech back when they were strong, etc.
This is a much better way of showing all time conference SOS: Games played against Final AP ranked SEC opponents (1936-2022)
Auburn- 207
Alabama- 192
Florida- 192
LSU- 190
Tennessee- 179
Georgia- 167
This is why just looking at conference titles and conference win% can be very deceiving. Obviously one of these has played historically a much more difficult conference schedule. And another team has played a much easier one.

So what’s the win percentage, in those games, for each team? I see you posted it, thanks!
