Some of just can't get one simple fact through your heads. Games from 20+ years ago have not a single thing to do with the current state of SEC programs. Tell me, name one player on any current roster that gives two shits what the results of games played when televisions only came in black and white were. Just one, I'll be waiting while I watch replays of recent wins over, LSU, Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee, and Auburn in HD. Riddle me this, where on these new massive scoreboards do the results of games played when these athletes' parents were toddlers go? How many points are they worth? Historically, empires didn't get any stronger than the Roman and British empires. Yet who saved the world's arse in WWI and II? That's right, 'Merica did. When the fighting get tough, history don't mean shite.
Where had y'all rather live now? Rome, Cairo, London, or the US of A? That's right bitches. I dare one of you to make an intelligent argument otherwise.

Downvote if you want. That's the only argument most of you can make.

That is a big negatory.
Big Six goes back to 1964 and it is the six teams that have repeatedly won non-shared SEC titles Since 1964. Kentucky "shares" one with UGA in 1976 even though UGA beat them 31-7 that year. The 1976 co-shared title was given to KY in 1978 due to an NCAA mandated MSU forfeit of all their games in 1976 and 1977 . Ky was given a retroactive "win" of that game, making their conference record go from 4-2 to 5-1, tying UGA.
And no you can't discriminatorily change when/what is considered the Big Six to your liking. SEC football did not start with the SECCG. There is more history behind it and it is set in stone.

It's not set in stone but it's not something that's going to change overnight.
Cue the threads promising that Jimbo will turn A&M into a juggernaut rivaling Spurrier's monster at Florida.

Yep. Winning an SEC championship is not something easy. Obviously, as there are 8 schools who haven't done it in hundreds of combined tries.
Not hard to understand. When your school proves it has the resources and hiring and recruiting ability to win an SEC championship, you can be in the big 6. Until then, enjoy your Belk Bowl/Gator Bowl victories whilst possible. Those are big seasons for you.

Unfortunately, there is a big 1 right now.

If you haven't won a SEC Championship and a Natty, you can't be in. GTFO

I am an old guy, it goes farther back than that to more like the early SEC in the 30's (when they had 13 teams) and probably goes back even further to the SoCon and SIAA.
It was not called "The Big Six" but actually just "The Six" and rotated among the power schools in the SEC at the time they were included. Prior to the GI Bill in the late 40's the private schools held the most sway in college football and both Tulane and Georgia Tech were "The Six" members early on.
In the modern era it has morphed to the 6 SEC schools who have won a SEC CCG but that is just a modern thing for folks who think the 12 member SEC did not exit until the 1990's when it had at least 12 members from formation in 1932 until the mid 60's when Georgia Tech and Tulane left. That is about 30 years prior to the 30 years the SEC only had 10 members.
I know a lot of trolling goes on here but spend some time with your parents and grandparents and learn from them just how things worked before you were born. Better to know and defend what is ours than have some outsider tell us what is our history, especially if they are wrong.

Goes back much further than that.
*1976
and even then, only because of a vacated game by an actual big 6 school PLUS was a split championship with an actual big 6 school that actually beat them head to head
before that you have to go all the way back to 1963
eta - the bold part is wrong, my bad - KY was 4-2 in the SEC & UGA was 5-1
can someone explain to me why they claim this as a championship?

Texas A&M will be

See Tennessee. In all seriousness the rest of the big 6 has your back.

You guys actually believe this Big 6 silliness?
yes
mostly because it was always actually a thing
there was actually an article about it when divisions were 1st made; it is the ONLY reason that Aub went West; it always made more sense for them to be East
their traditional rivals are:
Georgia
Alabama
Florida
GA Tech
Tennessee
