South Carolina would fair well.

But that's just it.

Look at just the 5-year period from 1958-1962, and Ole Miss looks amazing (#11, #2, #2, #5, #3)
Look at just the 5-year period from 1985-1989, and Arkansas looks amazing (#12, #15, NR, #12, #13)
Look at just the 5-year period from 1990-1994, and Texas A&M looks amazing (#15, #12, #7, #9, #8)
Look at just the 5-year period from 2007-2011, and Missouri looks amazing (#4, #19, NR, #18, NR)

Same with South Carolina from 2009-2013 (NR, #22, #9, #8, #4)

But the problem is, these eras of strong performance are few and far between for these programs. As soon as you increase the time period from 5 years up to 10 years... and even more so when you get up to 20, 30, 40, 50+ year periods, they fail to measure up to the "Big 6" at the top.
