Since the beginning of the BCS era and extending into the playoff era:

Alabama : 6
LSU : 3
Florida : 2
UGA : 1
Auburn : 1
Tennessee : 1

Pretty clearcut and to the point. This topic has been discussed 11,788 times since 2015 alone.

So what is something fresh to bring to the table?

Members closest to entry.

We can start with SEC titles using the same timeframe.

Alabama : 9
LSU : 5
Florida : 3
UGA : 3
Auburn : 3
Tennessee :1

As you can see, this criteria still doesn't provide anything other than what we already know.

So we have to break it down further. To divisional titles.

I will show only teams not already listed as "big six".

SEC title appearances using the same timeframe.

Missouri : 2
Arkansas : 2
Miss State : 1
South Carolina : 1

Worth noting Missouri did this in two straight years right after joining. Kudos.

But we need to go further.

10 win seasons. I will not list current "big six" teams.

Missouri : 5
Arkansas : 3
Ole Miss : 3
South Carolina : 3
Miss State : 2
Texas A&M : 2
Kentucky : 2

So far, Missouri maintains 1st place in the waiting line for the "Big Six". Interesting.

A team residing in the SEC for only 10 years has managed to compile a more successful overall performance than teams that have been in conference far longer.

Teams that contribute the least.

Vanderbilt : 0 conference championships or appearances, 0 national titles, 0 10 win seasons

Ole Miss : 0 conference championships or appearances, 0 national titles

Texas A&M : 0 conference championships or appearances, 0 national titles (Note, they do have a Heisman trophy winner in this timeframe. However, nothing of note was accomplished)

Kentucky : 0 conference championships or appearances, 0 national titles

Overall evaluation : This conference is completely carried by the SEC west, most notably by Alabama and LSU. Florida runs close behind.

Missouri has only had two 10 win seasons since joining the SEC so your data is a little misleading.

10 win seasons honestly are for the sake of extra information. They're usually indicators of a good season but I personally value making it to a title game over winning 10 games.

This is kind of opinionated though, so the facts start to dwindle when you get into that territory. This is purely for conversation though.

The SEC East was liquid dog shite in 2012-2014 and arguably up until Kirby.

Florida lost Urban in 2011
Tennessee was doing post-Fulmer Tennessee things
Georgia had Richt on the tail end of his career

Perfect storm for a non-Big 6 member to win a division.

To be fair to the case you're making, this is success up to this point.

Upswing and trajectory are entirely different and more percentage based. Using that criteria, I'd have Arkansas/Ole Miss leading.

Basically, you look at patterns. Players lost to graduation and draft, amount of individual key player success, etc.

There is more often than not a strong link between returning WRs and success. Which I find very interesting.

Georgia vs Alabama in the SECCG every season for at least the next 3 years. The SEC has already printed the tickets.
No other team in the SECe can challenge Georgia and no other team in the SECw can challenge Alabama until something drastic happens.

Teams that have multiple 12 win seasons:

Alabama (x14)
Georgia (x6)
Florida (x5)
LSU (x4)
Auburn (x3)
Missouri (x2)

Statistically untrue.

There are far too many variables that go into your claim. Injuries, breakout players, low percentage plays, game plans. To name a few.

The tools are there in Missouri for things to work in their favor. It's been done.

Same goes for South Carolina. Both teams are largely untapped.
