Is Georgia even Big-6?

This one has always interested me. Georgia has just as many national titles as Arkansas who is not considered Big-6. Arkansas, as a program has 2 National Titles - 1964 (NCAA Recognized) and 1977 (Computer Rankings). Georgia, as a program, has two national Titles - 1942 (Computer Rankings) and 1980 (NCAA Recognized).
Many on this site have brought up the how long ago it was that Arkansas' won its last National Title. Georgia's last National Title was only three years after Arkansas' last title. This time difference is miniscule in the grand-scheme of college football. For reference, Michigan, the winning-est program of all time, has gone over 20 years without a national title.
Also, during Georgia's and Arkansas' most successful periods of football success, the 60s-80s, the programs played three times. Arkansas won 2 of the 3 meetings in convincing fashion. The Hawgs won the 1968 Sugar Bowl by a score of 16-2 and the 1975 Cotton Bowl 31-10. Georgia won the meaningless Liberty Bowl in 1987 by a score of 20-17.
This begs the question - Why is Georgia considered Big-6 if Arkansas is not?

Kirby has them playing some damn good football. If it weren't for Bama they would have gotten over the hump already.

The old shoestring play gone bad in 1975, I remember that one.

Might have something to do with you pussies being in the old Southwest Conference during your heyday, not in the SEC. Arkansas-perennial SWC power, SEC also ran.
Win something while playing with the big boys and we'll talk. Until then, you Clint Stoernered your relevancy.

Georgia actually has 5 listed in the records book compared to Arkansas' 2.

I listed the head-to-head during Arkansas' days in the SWC. Arkansas shellacked the Dawgs, twice. Conference affiliations are basically meaningless if the schools played and one was obviously better than the other. It would help to read the OP.

No, they're past the 35 year grace period to win another national championship. It's in the SEC bylaws.

Settle down BamaNatureBoy. I know State is having a disappointing season. No need to do this.

and, the SWC was a damn fine conference.

none of those wins were at your hands so i'd simmer down.

Let’s look the each fanbase and decide:
Arkansas: Grown arse men painting their faces red, putting a huge arse hog on their heads and squealing like pigs.
Georgia: Grown arse men painting their faces red and silver then bark like dogs with grass in their mouths
Hmmmmmm let’s just ban both these frickers from the SEC and get two quality teams to replace them like Arkansas State and Georgia Southern.

When was Arkansas last SEC title?......I'll hang up and listen.

Bama has kept us from 2 natty since 2010. But we've won a few SEC championships recently so yes we are big six

It is very obvious that you don't have a clue what the SEC big six even is. Clue, it did not start in the BCS era and has nothing to do with national championships.
