Looking at the number of SEC Championships by school since 1992 when Divisional play began.

Bama-10
UF-7
LSU-5
UGA-3
AU-3
UT-2

No school other than the traditional
“SEC Big 6” has won an SEC Football Championship since going to Divisional Play.

Kentucky won a Championship in 1976 and that was a tie with UGA. Then you have to go all the way back to 1963 when Ole Miss won its last SEC Championship When anybody other than the 6 listed teams won an SEC Football Championship.

That is 1 SEC Title won by any other school than the 6 listed schools in 58 years. That is pretty amazing when you think about it.

UGA having only won it 3 times with the talent they've had there is hilarious

And Florida doesn’t have one unless you go back to 08. They were totally front loaded in the 90s

Another telling stat is to break down Alabama's success when they didn't have the GOAT at the helm.

Short of the Bear and Saban, arguably the two best to ever do it and certainly the two best at circumventing/ inventing rules that benefit them, Alabama has been very average.

The “/“ he used in this context is to represent “and/or”. Thus, he is correct. Bama has circumvented rules to win like paying players with cars and cash and/or invented rules like “possession” on the Patrick Peterson interception to benefit them to win. Hell, they even moved the SEC office to where it is stating it was “more central” to the conference and yet have not moved it back now that Mizzou and TAMU are part. Pretty soon Austin will be in and that is even further west.

It really is. LSU has 5 in the bloodbath they call the SEC West but UGA only has 3? They've had some absolutely loaded rosters and they play in the SEC East with Tennessee not being relevant since the early part of the century.

People talk about how much talent was squandered under Les Miles but go look at some of the teams Mark Richt had. He had talent all over the field and good QB play. Still couldn't get over the hump.

Here’s an interesting tidbit about Georgia’s lack of SEC titles. The damn championship game is in Atlanta every year! They are literally the only team to have a home field advantage in this game, and still aren’t nearly as successful as they should be.
