re: Best 5 year runs in SEC football history

I'd also rank Bama's 1977-1981 slightly ahead of 1961-1965 run because Bama finished #2 in 1977 and may have been screwed even worse that year than 1966. If you add 1966 to the early 60s run you have the greatest 6 year run in SEC history.

The greatest decade long run was Alabama's 1971-1979 run. 3 national titles, a #2 finish, and 8 SEC titles
