If Ark and aTm had been original members of the SEC and never played in the old SWC, what would their history look like? Would Ark have even competed for a National Title in the 60's?

What if the SEC football schedule would have had more than 5 or 6 conference games for all of those years that you reference?
8 team league and only had some teams 5 or 6 league games. How stupid is that?

Arky and aggy would have split the wins and Arky would STILL have an advantage.
Furthermore, Arky is the one that had the balls to come to the sec and actually won the west three times.
Aggy has to be asked twice. Once they figured out they couldn’t win a shite conference, they said;
“Hey, lets just get our asses beat for more money in the sec and pay our coach more”

Yes if you beat Texas in the 60s then you are very likely SWC champs and competed for the national title.

We won a title in the 60s, and were basically Georgia under Richt throughout the 70s and 80s. We've just made bad coaching hires since the 90s, with the exception of Petrino.
The SEC wasn't the beast it was today back then. Both A&M and Arkansas would have made a splash. Arkansas will eventually get its shite back together at some point.

That depends. Playing in the SWC gave us a great pipeline of talent from Texas. Was the Arkansas (assuming we still had that pipeline going) program capable of competing in and doing well against the SEC in the 60s? Yes, we had legit talent back then. The national title we claim came in a season we were undefeated and beat Texas. Texas, it should be noted, handed Alabama a loss that year.
Arkansas was quite good in the 70s and 80s and were a legit national power for many of those years. What killed us off was Broyles driving Hatfield away and then a series of either disastrous or mediocre at best hires.

Arkansas needs Texas talent. They really should move to the big 12.

I don't think either would be much different, though A&M would have bailed on the conference by now.

Wasnt the SWC the SEC of the past?

Most Arkansas posters weren’t even alive the last time they beat Texas A&M

Behind Bama. Just where we like to be.
