Sure, they change. But, neither were relevant during those time periods.

So is Georgia. If you think you are blue blood, you are on crack.
Agreed. People do not realize/understand the meaning of Blue Blood.
It is (at least) insinuated that it is based upon past greatness/success. Georgia has been good but not great in the past. We would?could be considered new money if current success is continued. But under no definition that I am familiar with would we be considered Blue Blood.

There may be others.. those two teams won the NC and didn’t win the SEC Championship.
NC > SEC Championship all day every day
While true both have also won the SEC and NC in recent years.

The big 6 is locked unless one of the OG members wins it all
Texas and OU however are the best of the rest

No. Again.....and I hope we don't have to explain this again....it is considering at least recent history. Things a school did in the 1960s-1970's do not count.

My favorite stat that shows Texas as a paper tiger:
Georgia has 3 National Titles in the span of time Texas has only won 1 (2005). Texas' most recent title before Vince Young bailed them out was 1970. No Vince Young, and Texas is Arkansas crooning on about their Civil Rights Era Titles.
But Georgia became synonymous with not finishing the deal, while Texas gets the yearly "They're back" treatment. Such a fraudulent football program that should not be taken seriously on the national stage.

Well, if we're talking from a revenue perspective, I think the Big 6, plus Texas and Oklahoma, bring in a lot of viewers.
How does an LSU fan not understand what the Big 6 represents?

They are going to try and call themselves part of the Big 8. Just wait.

Context matters…GA has only played Texas twice since the 50’s. A opt out riddled Sugar Bowl in 2018. And the 1983 Season cotton bowl where #5 UGA beat #2 Texas.

If Texas makes the 12 team playoffs 2 or more times in 5 years, I could care less if a SEC title happens or not.
If Texas doesn’t make the 12 team playoff in 5 years, that coach should be fired.
Just my opinion.
2000-2009 Texas makes the 12 team playoff at least 6 times
2010-2022 Texas only makes it 1 time, which is why we keep firing coaches.. hopefully Sark is the guy, but if he isn’t, we will keep looking..
Sark checks off every single box with 1 big exception. He needs to learn how to close out games, and if does that, he will be around for a long time. (assuming he stays sober)
We lost 5 games last year by 7 points or less. With good quarterback play, we are going to be a whole lot better than most think.

Texas and OU are relegated to the Little 10 correct? Or do they get to join the club if Tennessee is included in the Big 6?
The “club” is something anyone in the conference can join by meeting the criteria of an SEC championship and a natty in football. We all can join by meeting this standard at least once from what I can gather.
To place these teams in this club opens the door for other teams who have won natties and championships in other conferences to get the participation ribbons and juice boxes and fruit slices offered to those 2 who have not met the criteria but got in by name only and unearned.
Why does everything have to get watered down these days…..

Actually, originally the Big 6 was all of the schools that have won the conference in football since the mid ‘60s.
Coincidentally, all 6 schools have won at least one national title since then, but the term “Big 6” was coined before Auburn, LSU, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee won a national title (post-mid 60s).
So, I guess an updated “Big 6” could also include a national title, but it wasn’t originally required.

Congrats? I mean Texas' big goal is to finish ranked #12? I get that the ultimate goal is to make the playoffs so you can then have a shot at the title, but the chances of doing that without winning the conference is low. And with the playoffs expanding to 12 it will be much easier to make the playoffs than to win the conference. I hate that they have watered down the playoffs like this.

You have only finished in the top 12 once the last 13 years, so....that has to be a red flag for UT fans.

Looks like you finished in the top 12 (I know there are other criteria) something like 9 times in that period. You would have missed it only once, which is great, imo.

I do agree that sometimes it is not necessarily the greatness of a coach as much as one that meshes well with the culture, etc. It is strange, because I thought Texas would turn it around with Herman and Strong.

A lot of people on here are going to troll you and never give you any respect. (I'm sure you have figured that out already) But, I am excited about having Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC. Your (Texas') overall sports program (Including football) and Oklahoma's football history are great additions.
