re: How long before a Non Big 6 wins the SEC?

A long, long time. Ole Miss had the talent the last 3 seasons to possibly pull it off. Unless they break the bank again like they did with their recruiting class a few years ago, I don't see Ole Miss being able to do it anytime soon.

South Carolina had their chances with Spurrier. They played for it in 2010 (lost miserably). But their next three teams were actually much better teams but just never could quite win the East. Sadly for them, their chances are over now that Spurrier is gone.

I guess you could say Missouri had two chances. But with everything going on there, that ship has sailed.

That leaves just Texas A&M. They appear to be recruiting the talent to have a shot. But I just don't understand how things never seem to click in College Station. If any program does it in the next decade, it will likely be the Aggies. But I don't see it happening next year.
