You also said the Big 6 didn’t exist until the 80s. These six rose to the top in 60s. It goes back much further
Take a deep breath and read his post again, veeeery slowly. Here it is for you: The term and concept of "big 6" didn't exist until 1992 when the league split into divisions. You had 3 big boys on one side and 3 on the other. It was the 6 (of 12 at that point) teams that had historically accomplished the most.
He clearly says the CONCEPT of the Big 6 came in 1992. He also said that they were chosen based of their historical accomplishments. The historical accomplishments part clearly takes in the 60s and even before.
Stop seeing Georgia fan and actually read posts. You are doing knee jerk reactionary posts.

I am enjoying this thread.
However, it was my understanding "Big Six" means nothing more than the last and possibly only six teams to win the conference since Kentucky shared the title with Alabama in 1977 (6-0 v. 7-0 conference record) and, even farther back than that, Ole Miss's last outright conference title in 1963.
I didn't think it was based on anything more than that.
Furthermore, I've never heard anyone other than Tiger Droppings posters reference the "Big Six." I honestly think the concept primarily exists on this message board.
So, when did it come into being? I suppose it did so once it became clear no little 4/6/8 team was going to win the conference?
