re: With 14 teams, the Big 6 should admit a 7th

That's interesting. Still think it seems silly talking about a Big 6 back then, since they were accepting co-championships, among other things. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the only difference between Florida's '84 vacated title, and Kentucky going 10-1 in '77 (only lost to Baylor), is that Kentucky was disqualified before the season began.

So, if this is the standard and vacated titles are okay, then what about co-championships? Wouldn't that be roughly equal to runner-up today? In that case, Arkansas, MSU, South Carolina and Missouri must also be Big 6 members, as they're all schools that have played, but never won, the SEC Championship Game. Since Kentucky essentially tied Alabama for the '77 SEC title, we should also include them.

That leaves Ole Miss, Vandy and Texas A&M as the bottom 3 SEC teams, since none of them have ever played in the SECCG or can make a claim that they were SEC co-champions in the modern era.
