Big four. Auburn has earned their keep for sure. Florida has had a few bad years but considering the fact that no team has been to the Sec title game more holds strong merit.


Really? As a completely unbiased observer, Florida's resume is the thinnest.

Until Spurrier showed up y'all didn't win jack shite.

To be fair, the Gators won the 1984 SEC championship, but it got revoked amid a scandal involving Charlie Pell's numerous NCAA violations. They finished the season ranked #3 in the country and seven selection committees voted them as the 1984 national champions. Their only loss of the season came from the reigning national champions, Miami.

The Gators should have then won the 1985 SEC championship, but were ineligible due to NCAA regulations that carried over into Galen Hall's tenure. They were not allowed to participate in post-season play.

I agree that these shouldn't count since Pell was a cheater, but the Gators were on peoples' radars even before Spurrier got there.
