So what you're saying is this entire time that Auburn was claiming to be a nose ahead of UGA for number 3 in the SEC, in reality they have been closer to 6th or 7th? And the plot thickens.
Up until the late 1980's there was the big 4 that included Auburn. In 1992 it became the big 6 when LSU and UF were added. So as I said, if you want to limit the discussion to since 1975, it is best to use the big 6 then everyone else as a 2 tier grouping.

In 1989 Auburn had 5 SEC championships and Ole Miss had 6, why weren't we in the big 4?

Interesting. It seems sort of sad that Aggie and yankee kitten are joining the party. Less matchups between the "Big 6". Granted 3 in each division is pretty cool, but the SEC needs to jump up to 9 conference games at some point. Or kick out Arky and Vandy at some point.

That timeline doesn't make any sense to me. Obviously Florida was getting rolling on a tremendous streak with Spurrier... but LSU had fallen off from their earlier relevance into a horrible horrible mess during the early 90s
