All-time SEC Standings

This includes all meetings between SEC teams during the time in which they were members of the SEC.
**Bowl games count (Bama vs. LSU 2011, etc.)
If teams played eachother before or after a team joined or left the SEC, those games don't count. Only the games played during the seasons in which both programs were SEC members.
1. Alabama (71.06%)
2. Tennessee (62.14%)
3. Georgia Tech (61.63%)
4. Georgia (60.47%)
5. Florida (58.67%)
6. LSU (57.99%)
7. Auburn (54.75%)
8. Texas A&M (53.13%)
9. Missouri (50.00%)
10. Ole Miss (48.54%)
11. Arkansas (44.62%)
12. S. Carolina (42.75%)
13. Tulane (38.32%)
14. Mississippi St. (35.91%)
15. Kentucky (30.39%)
16. Vanderbilt (25.36%)
17. Sewannee (0.00%)
***Obviously if Georgia Tech had stayed in the SEC (they left after the 1964 season), there would be a "Big 7" and Georgia Tech would be a member of that top group. While their winning percentage likely would have slacked off, they had a good enough record from 1933-1964 to likely still be part of the group today. Their 5 SEC Championships also doesn't hurt.
Who knows. They may have fallen off the map after the 1960s, just like Ole Miss did. But the fact they won a National Title in 1990 shows they probably would have stayed in that Top 7. If Georgia Tech ever rejoins the SEC, we'll likely have to start calling it the "Big 7".
***Record vs. the "Big 6"
1. Alabama (61.80%)
2. Georgia Tech (56.25%)
3. Florida (50.35%)
4. Georgia (46.47%)
5. Auburn (48.32%)
6. Tennessee (45.97%)
7. LSU (45.58%)
-----------------------
8. Missouri (40.00%)
9. Ole Miss (34.49%)
10. Tulane (34.47%)
11. Arkansas (33.59%)
12. Mississippi St. (29.59%)
13. S. Carolina (25.52%)
14. Texas A&M (23.08%)
15. Kentucky (20.24%0
16. Vanderbilt (18.75%)
17. Sewannee (0.00%)
This is where there is a very clear separation. The Big 6... plus Georgia Tech when they were a member... are quite a bit ahead of the others. Mizzou has given it a pretty good go in the first four years, but I doubt they'll keep up that pace as the years go by.
I'm amazed at Texas A&M's lackluster performance so far against the "Big 6". They are just 3-10 against the "Big 6" since joining the league... but a very healthy 14-5 against everyone else.

Sounds like back patting but astounding to me that Alabama is #1 in every team category in SEC history and has pretty substantial winning records vs every SEC opponent all-time.

Has anyone ever seen an article referring to the "Big 6" outside of this forum? Honest question

Pretty common in SEC discussions. Maybe not the exact term Big 6, but reference to those schools in a group at the top, yea.

I haven't. It's so teams that used to win can feel better about Alabama winning

Another interesting statistic...
% of games against the "Big 6" plus Georgia Tech:
**Only "Big 6" teams listed
1. Auburn- 59.75% (340/569)
2. Florida- 56.57% (310/548)
3. Georgia- 54.83% (301/549)
4. Alabama- 52.35% (312/596)
5. Tennessee- 45.47% (251/552)
6. LSU- 40.57% (240/557)
How has LSU been able to play such an insanely easy schedule? Since 1933, Auburn has literally played an extra 100 games against other "Big6 + Georgia Tech" teams compared to LSU.
And again, this only counts Auburn's games against Georgia Tech through 1964. Auburn continued playing Georgia Teach annually through the late '80s, but all of those games are not counted in these statistics. Only games played since the inception of the SEC against fellow SEC members while they were members.
Of the "Big 6" teams in the SEC, LSU ranks 5th all-time in terms of SEC Winning percentage. Auburn comes in #6.
Against other "Big 6" teams in the SEC, Auburn comes in #4 out of the 6 teams (ahead of Tennessee and LSU).
LSU is #6 of the 6 in terms of record against the "Big 6" since the SEC was founded (1933). Yet they've played by far the fewest games against these higher level opponents.
You've got to wonder what LSU's record would look like had they played even an average difficulty of schedule in conference play. We may just have a "Big 5" today had they played the same slate of teams that Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama have played over the years.

No, it refers to the schools that have historically won at a national level, gone to big bowl games, etc.
No team outside of the "Big Six" has won an SEC title since 1976, and that includes years with split titles. Non-"Big Six" schools have won 2 SEC titles since 1963.
Since 1963
Alabama - 19
Georgia - 8
Florida - 8
Auburn - 7
Tennessee - 7
LSU - 7
Ole Miss - 1
Kentucky - 1
Let's be frank, there is a Super Big 1, a Big 5 and everyone else.

I just don't get it. If I were a Bama fan, I'd brag about being the Big 1 while laughing at the little 13.
Bragging about what other teams do...guess I'll never understand it.

Oh, we do. Did you not see SUPER 1 and Big 5?

Nobody is bragging. I am analyzing the facts and the facts show that there is a clear line of distinction between #1 and everyone else and #2-6 and everyone else.

Yes. multiple times. The big 6 is split into equal parts in each division because its the big 6.

ESPN references it quite frequently, numerous people I talk with from Tennessee/Auburn/Georgia/Alabama reference it in overall discussions of the conference. I remember hearing it years ago before I even knew what the SECR was.
It isn't some sort of new, SEC Rant phrase.

When we split into divisions, the SEC specifically referenced the big 6. Ive seen referenced to articles back in the 80's

Ah 2012
Posted on 1/18/16 at 2:24 pm to texag7
No offense, but why is someone who just started paying attention to the details and lexicon of the SEC 5 years ago arguing with us about a phrase being used for the past two decades?

You asked for an article referencing it, and you got one.
Don't start backpedaling now you little cuckold.
