South Carolina - 0.561
Ole Miss - 0.451
Mississippi State - 0.446
Kentucky - 0.433

Feel free to subtract them.
OU was also the winningest program overall in the entire country during the 70s, which is weird because I would have bet good money it would have been Alabama.

I'm guessing Oklahoma didn't have any down years in the 1970s while Alabama started the decade off with the last of Bryant's "down years" before we converted the offense (6-5-1 in 1970).

You can remove all teams that weren’t in the SEC in the 80s

In the 2000s, after vacating almost the entirety of the 2005, 2006, and 2007 seasons, Alabama has an official winnning percentage of 0.547. That's 48th overall, behind 47 South Carolina with a 0.557 percentage.

"Officially" we went 0-2 in 2005, 0-7 in 2006 and 2-6 in 2007. So, yea, "2-15" in a 3 year period out of 10 (plus the actual bad seasons) will do that to you
On the field we went 79-48 (62.2%) in the 2000s, and that probably was our actual worst decade since the 1950s.
We were 53-46 (53.5%) on the field from 2000-2007. 26-2 (92.9%) in 2008-2009.

Remember OU and Bama played in that 70 Bowl game in Houston.

Mizzou 1984 was Warren Power's last season where the wheels fell off the program. Woody Widenhofer was just a traumatic hire with the administration not putting money in the program. Bob Stull was hired in 1989 after Woody couldn't win more than 5 games in a season, and despite a great coaching staff, or what would become one (Dirk Koetter, Andy Reid), Stull couldn't win more than 4. Larry Smith was hired in 1994 and brought back respectability. I blame the school admin for the lack of trying for almost 15 years. The crazy thing is we were a top 10 program in the 60's, and a good program in the 70's.
