I forgot they left in the ealrier 60's, but still UGA's own record books denote 5-0 in conference play, FWIW

Whoever updated their records was probably born long after it happened and wasn't aware of it. I don't think UG should have been allowed to do it though--UG had more than enough time to adjust their schedule with another SEC team to get the minimum six conference games. Ultimately, it was kind of unfair to Bama to make them share the title with UG.

That's not uncommon. Most school media guides get updated by students who don't know beans about history.
The SEC is in charge of conference records. It's always a good idea to consult a conference first:

Page 132 has the standings for 1966.
