Original Big 6:
Alabama
Tulane
LSU
Tennessee
GA Tech
MS State
That term was created in 1941 to identify the 1st 6 schools to win a conference championship
UGA replace MS State in the mid 40's
Ole Miss replaced Tulane in the 50's
Auburn replace GA Tech by default when the Yellow Jackets exited the conference in the early 60's on the strength of their 1 championship that came with a natty in '57
Florida pushed Ole Miss out in the early 80's on the strength of a vacated SEC title AND for being consistently a strong/feared opponent (UK did not get consideration for their '76 ship based on being looked at as a weaker team)
List has not changed since then
Ole miss has the strongest shot at getting back in and RIGHT NOW, Tenn is the most likely to fall out
