But yes, the SEC has been and is the best football conference. However there are schools there that have been competing for 50 years and never won the conference. MU is still in that group until they do it. And it won't come without resistance.
The last time someone outside the Big 6 won was a split in 1976 where Kentucky shared with Georgia. Before that it was 1963 with Mississippi!
If Missouri wins Saturday it will make tremendous waves across the conference. There's no doubt in that.

You're right some years are debatable but the counter is that they won all those games ('06, '07) and sometimes decidedly so. In 2011 I have no doubt the 2 best teams played but I think the sport would have been better off as a whole had LSU played OkSt instead. But the Pokes have no one to blame. The rematches are always blah.
I posted that same stat about the Big 6 in our football thread earlier today. It is quite remarkable.
