Pretty sure Bama won a NC in the 90's and AU had a undefeated year and just because LSU sucked in the 90's doesn't mean the rest of the conference did.

Like I said, it was Tennessee, Florida, one one or two teams from the rest of the conference. Yes, teams from the west had individually good seasons, but the west as a whole was horrible. Most of the East was horrible. shite Georgia was very average as the third best team in the East. South Carolina had multiple winless seasons. Vandy had zero winning seasons. Kentucky had one winning season at 7-5.

If you actually think FSU goes 4 years in the SEC without losing you're delusional.

Florida won 27 straight SEC games from 1994 through 1997.


FSU tried to join the SEC for 30 years from the late 50s through the 80s. They were always told no. When the SEC courted prospective new members in 1990, yes FSU, along with Texas, Texas A&M, Miami, Arkansas, and South Carolina, was lobbied to join. And yes they ultimately said yes to the ACC after being black-balled for 30 years. The SEC also voted against inviting FSU. Miami also said no thanks and joined the Big East

The proposed alignment also would have had FSU playing Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and Auburn every year, incredibly unbalanced compared to the rest of the conference.

Name another conference that had 2 different teams win NC's in the 90's plus another that went undefeated?Name a better conference.You can't slick

Since you completely made up the 27 win stat,I would imagine you made up the "blackballed"part as well and the SEC wasn't particularly interested in expanding back in the 60's and 70's as well.Qoute on why they joined the ACC.

quote:

the president and others — wanted the ACC, which really was better for us,” Bowden said. “It would have been hard wading through that SEC. Too many good teams in there, boy. Oh, gosh. Oh, that would have been some great ball.”
