Agree. Think their 2004 team and 2014 national championship appearance need to be a factor.

Maybe you shouldn't have shite the bed against Ron Zook? Maybe you shouldn't have lost to a 6-6 South Carolina team (who didn't even go bowling) at home? Maybe you should've clocked the ball in the SEC title game?
Maybe yall shouldn't have lost your last regular season game in 96?
Maybe yall shouldn't have lost to auburn in 06?
Maybe yall shouldn't have lost to a 4-loss ole miss team at home in 08?
Oh, wait...yall actually did lose all those games yet were still national champs those years. That's what I'm talking about you dolt, instances where teams like the above lost games but still got a chance for a title. And there are many more examples. Yet in a painfully rare occurrence where we were in that position, we did not get those breaks. It's not hard to comprehend.

I agree with that but the flip side could be that Tennessee had a 5 year run from 1995 to 1999 where they went 54-8 and 35-5 in the SEC, finishing in the Top 5 all 5 years. Nobody outside of Florida and Alabama has had a 5 year run like that. They just happened to be in the same division with Florida during their all-time run.

Beat Ron Zook and you're there.
Beat 6-6 South Carolina and you're in the SEC title game.
Clock the ball against Alabama and who knows what happens.
This is stuff that actually happened that YOU had control over. The only team that can say they were unlucky is 04 Auburn.

I couldn't help but notice undefeated seasons was not included...

Well, they were included in the overall numbers, but you are right they could be. It's kind of a quirky stat that Auburn has had 2 of them in non-title seasons, but it does help their argument for sure. I also left off 10 win seasons, losing seasons and other thresholds that would hurt schools that were up and down (like Auburn and Alabama, for that matter).

just a couple of things:
Missouri has played in 4 CCG therefore they have 4 division titles.
Texas A&M has 1 Big XII title.

- 1983 sure
- 1993 was not a frick job. Auburn's schedule was pretty meh and they didn't even have to play Florida again or a bowl game because of probation.
- 2004 just sucked for Auburn because there were 2 teams who started ahead of them that finished undefeated and had solid schedules.
But, those years should carry some weight for sure.

This bird has some anger issues. A basically entertaining yet light thread and he manages to get into some pillow fight with fans of 4 different SEC teams.

Mississippi State should be ranked number one for all the the bad coaches that got Croomed allowing better coaches to be hired. you guys are really unappreciative.

Seems like you are putting more weight on winning percentage than on division titles when comparing Ole Miss and MSU, but then you went the other way on national titles when comparing Alabama and Florida. I'm not saying it's wrong to do that, but that certainly seems to be what you're doing.
Also, I'm curious why you listed the number of bowl games for the top 8, but not for the other six.

3. LSU
Amazing that LSU has been the 3rd best over that particular time frame (and I agree with you on that ranking), considering that the first eight years of the time frame fell during (and included most of) by far the darkest time in our football history (1989 through 1999).

I don't really consider division titles in the same stratosphere as SEC or National Titles, so I look at Ole Miss and State pretty much as the same in the "titles category".

Honestly? Because I literally forgot on the next ones hahaha.

Yea, everyone except Florida and really Georgia has had some ugly patches. Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Auburn all had some dark 4-6 year periods over the last 25 years.

Looking forward to LSU taking over that #2 spot soon!
