I was responding to a post insinuating that Auburn not Florida were not Big 6 until the 1980s.
this isn't rocket science.
The term and concept of "big 6" didn't exist until 1992 when the league split into divisions. You had 3 big boys on one side and 3 on the other. It was the 6 (of 12 at that point) teams that had historically accomplished the most.

Why do you think the SEC chose those six in 1992? Because those six had been the dominant six in the SEC for several decades. Basically when Ole Miss imploded in the mid-60s and GA Tech simultaneously left the league, these six rose to the top.
