State needs to win a SEC title to make it to the big 6. At this point Tennessee would be on the outside looking in if this happens.

there was actually an article about it when divisions were 1st made


Yeah, I was trying to find this article but couldn't find it. I think it's from 1989 and it specifically uses the words "Big Six".

It's not the only reason but it makes a ton of sense that all the members of the Big Six are paired off as cross division games:

Bama vs. Tennessee
Auburn vs. Georgia
LSU vs. Florida

Symmetry and balance. Ying and Yang.

Well, at least until 10erC started sucking something awful.

I'm in favor of adding a 9th conference game and going back to 2 permanent cross divisions.

From a Montgomery newspaper in 1989, referring to the 6 SEC winners that decade.
