You used: Football All-time AP Rankings

With the Bowl tie-ins, the final rankings many times had a boost by playing subpar teams from weaker Conferences. Many times SEC teams were matched up against teams from the ACC, Big 10 or non-P5 teams. Teams final records and rankings depended more on TV matchups vs quality of the opponent. Again, a beauty contest.


Sounds good brah

All time SEC Conference Win %
1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Tennessee
4. Florida
5. LSU
6. Auburn
7. Texas A&M
8. Missouri
9. Ole Miss
10. South Carolina
11. Arkansas
12. Mississippi State
13. Kentucky
14. Vanderbilt

But I know, unequal opponents, move on to something else.

One thing that stuck from all that book learning I did was something Mercia Eliade said "the scale makes the phenomenon." That's the reason I'm a nitpicker when it comes to stats. That said, I think your current assessment is as fair as we can be (and I say that knowing we can never reach full objectivity).

Not bad overall. Would be difficult to consider everything (like all bowls aren’t close to equal or making a bowl in 2019 isn’t like making one in 1950. Our baseball team has always been feast or famine and basketball has sucked save about 8 years.

Added in AP Top 25 finishes for basketball to accurately reflect teams before 1975 who were Top 25 quality but weren't allowed into the NCAAT because of the 1 team per conference rule.

Again, apples to oranges. Unequal schedules and time in the conference. To have any validity to your list, there has to be a stat that shows some type of commonality. That is why CF is a beauty contest. People throw out stats all the time to prove a point, but most are invalid in showing superiority. But whatever makes you happy.

And UF having more tournament wins.


Well, Florida never even made the tournament, until after it had expanded to 64 teams. Arkansas had played in 12 tournaments before that final expansion, so we had fewer chances for tournament wins.

On the flip side, we played in 3 tournaments where there were only 8 teams, which I assume counted as elite 8 appearances for just showing up. Same with Kentucky.
