Based on the last several years, UGA may deserve a high ranking, but they consistently underperformed for many, many years prior to that, especially when considering the in-state talent base and financial resources available to the program. You did say "all-time," right?

Georgia is high because they were rarely ever bad. They were just constantly fielding good football teams, so they rank pretty high.

Tons of bowl games, and now Kirby Smart era gave them the hardware to move them up. I even made a post confirming they were the 2nd best program in SEC history behind Alabama

Here's the SEC since full integration. Poor Vols.

You have to count them. Should the title maybe be "Program rankings for all teams currently in the SEC?" It would be the same/similar rankings right?

Texas has one title in the last 50+ years, that they won in the Big 12.

LSU has 3x as many titles in the last 25 years, that they won in the SEC.

You're trying way too hard.

OP says all time.

Texas was the big tent post team in the SWC for decades. That part pushes them up, as LSU (or Georgia) never owned the SEC to that extent.

Same thing with Oklahoma. They were locked in a struggle with Nebraska in the Big 8, I think OU had the upper hand; but like Ohio State/Michigan in the Big 10.
That carried over to the Big 12.

That pushes those 2 all-time above the SEC teams not named Alabama. Would give Oklahoma a significant edge over Texas.

Also, until quite recently, Tennessee was #2 in the SEC, so I wouldn't necessarily drop them that low for a bad decade.

Florida should be bottom of the Big Six because prior to Spurrier, they were basically Kentucky. That insane run elevated them, but the rest of the Big Six has way more history.

At least be honest. Without Texas, the SEC would be winless in the expanded CFP in games against the other power conferences. Texas has won 2 of them. The rest of the conference has won zero.


Without Texas means Oklahoma isn't in the SEC either, and Alabama beat them in the expanded CFP.

If we're talking original SEC members, who are you putting second behind Bama all time if it's not Georgia?

Well this is false. We're #3 among the SEC OG members since full integration in 1972.

I've seen various all time rankings and all had some order of Bama, Oklahoma, Ohio State as the top 3 depending on what criteria they used. I don't recall ever seeing another SEC ranked ahead of Texas all time

Move Florida, LSU, and Georgia up a spot, and Texas down to six.
And remove Auburn from the Big6 ??? Seems dumb. Auburn has more SEC titles, Championships, everything SEC related.

Texas has nothing but a name. All hat, no cattle.

If you are having to put this word as justification then you already in behind. Florida sucked historically and they suck currently. Congrats on a good run yall had 16 years ago but being good for a short time doesn’t overcome decades of mediocrity
