to produce an SEC Football Champion to avoid four completed decades of only the BIG 6 claiming Titles.

SEC FOOTBALL TITLES BY DECADE:

1980s: Auburn (4), Georgia (3), LSU (2), Alabama (2), Tennessee (2)

1990s: Florida (5), Tennessee (3), Alabama (2)

2000s: Florida (3), LSU (3), Georgia (2), Auburn (1), Alabama (1)

2010s: Alabama (5), Auburn (2), Georgia (1), LSU (1)

TOTAL SINCE THE 1980s:

10- Alabama
8- Florida
7- Auburn
6- Georgia
6- LSU
5- Tennessee

That's a total of 42 awarded SEC Football Trophies during a 39-year period, and not one of the Little 8 has one to claim.

When does this streak end? I just don't see it ending anytime soon.

Why were there 13 SEC titles given out in the 80's?

It really is hard to see a path within the next 5 years or so that wouldn’t involve something bizarre. I can’t see anyone from the little 4 in the East getting over Georgia or Florida (and neither will UT). In the West, the Miss schools and Arkansas are out and it would likely take sanctions at Bama for A&M to jump them.

We crashed the party in the 70s.
The big six already got their party wrecked

When were the terms coined?


Big 6
Lil 8





Lil 8 had to be coined post mizzaggy. But big 6 could be decades old.

I consider teams that have not won a national championship in 35+ years to be on the same level in terms of relevance. Welcome to the little 9!

Make that 43. The 84 trophy is still somewhere in Gainesville.

Thx for the update. Kind of surprised a Georgia fan would use 39 years as a timeframe for anything but good on ya.
