Alabama
Tenn
LSU
Georgia
Florida
Auburn are considered the Big Six in the SEC by most

Texas and OU def have done enough in the past. Just curious. Upvote for yes, downvote for no.

They just got into the SEC so no

But OU has 7 recognized national titles and Texas has 4


seems like they are very good programs

This discussion happens every offseason and yet every year they forget what the Big 6 means.

I def know what the Big Six means..but they are also very new to the SEC and both very successful programs. So they can't have all the SEC titles the Big Six has...it is impossible being in the league so few years...but they have the national name, the Natties, the pros, the fanbases, etc like those in the Big Six...so seemed like fair question.

No, they haven’t won the SEC so they aren’t Big6

This is the only “Big 8” I’m aware of

An interesting follow-up question would be who gets relegated in the new Big 6.

Auburn would be the obvious one. After that probably Florida or Tennessee.

How is LSU in the big six and Florida lower..our resumes are very, very similar..


Florida vs LSU

SEC titles: Florida 8 LSU 12
National titles: Florida 3(1996,2006, 2008)
LSU - 4(1958, 03, 2007, 2019)
Record verse each other - 34-34-3...very much can't get more even then that
Heisman winners: Florida- 3 LSU- 3
NFL draft picks- Florida 380, LSU 350


Insane how even it is as a rivalry in most catagories.

This is what get from google

"LSU and Florida have one of the most remarkably even and intense rivalries in college football history, historically hovering around a .500 record over more than 50 years of annual matchups."

What has Oklahoma or the Aggies done at all in the last five years to be considered better programs than Tennessee?

Football: tennessee has more top 10 finishes then OU and Aggies in the last 5 years and same amount of playoff’s appearances


Basketball: Tennessee has unequivocally been better than both OU and Aggies the last 10 years

Baseball: Tennessee is the winningest baseball program in the country the last 7 years and won a natty unlike Aggie or OU


I swear people just post and dont even watch sports. Tennessee has been the best all around program in the big 3 sports the last 5 years

Anyone who would not consider Tenn as the Big Six or Big 8 is beyond crazy.

In the last 5 years Tennessee has in the Big 3 Sports:
-2 SEC Baseball Regular Season titles
-2 SEC Baseball tourney titles
-5 straight Super Regionals
-3 Omaha Appearances
-1 Baseball Natty
-1 SEC basketball Regular Season title
-1 SEC basketball tourney title
-3 Elite 8s
-4 Sweet 16s
-1 Playoff Appearance
-2 top 10 finishes in football

Thats better than Aggie or Mizzou have in their athletic department’s history…trolls aside I think we are being decently competitive across the board
