I did take the time to add up the stats from above because I was curious. If my math is wrong on some of them I apologize but it should be close.

Alabama 13-9
Arkansas 1-4
Auburn 6-3-2
Florida 8-4
Georgia 7-2
Kentucky 24-30
LSU 6-4-1
Ole Miss 0-3
Miss. St. 2-6-1
South Car. 3-5
Tennessee 9-4
Vandy 7-17-2
Total 86-91-6 in favor of the Big 10

It looks like the bottom teams really hurt the SEC but I am sure it is the same story in the Big 10. This is so close that it could be in favor of the SEC after this bowl season. It could change every year. That is why the SEC and Big 10 are the best conferences year in and year out. Many of the Top teams in the SEC hold winning records against the top teams of the Big 10 though like Tennessee.
