If your math makes you comfortable going back to 1970, you should appreciate the way SEC titles were won back then. I have zero problem counting co-champions.

That 1976 Kentucky Co-Championship is pretty weak.



In 1978, Mississippi State had to forfeit a bunch of games.



Therefore, Kentucky moved to 5-1 on the season, which was tied with Georgia, but Georgia beat the shite out of Kentucky that year.

31-7 @ Kentucky

The tiebreakers were different back then, so technically, they may be "co-champs" but it's a pretty weak argument imo.

Nothing technical about it. Does Georgia count the other half? They both are recorded and the hardware has been passed out.

Thems the rules, no apologies for the game we played for 100 years. Conference champions or mythical NCs as well.

I consider it a consolation since we would’ve won the SEC in 1977 (undefeated but on probation).
