Gee, probably because I was responding to a post insinuating that Auburn not Florida were not Big 6 until the 1980s.

There was no Big Six until the 1980s/90s. Entering the 80s, Auburn had one conference championship while Florida had none. Pat Dye made Auburn into a nationally respected program in the 1980s while Steve Spurrier turned Florida into a powerhouse during the 1990s.
