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.


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.

3 in each division was by design for competition and TV reasons and is the basis for the "perm rival" set-up with Ala vs UTk / Aub vs UGA / LSU vs UF. Everything comes down to giving TV product and raising the price for that product.
