Currently, what programs in the SEC would you say are Top 10 Nationally?

Think about recent success (last 4-5 years), recent recruiting, facilities, coaches, etc. If a recruit was to put together a Top 10 programs list, which SEC schools would be on it?

LSU was top 5 a few years ago. Slipping drastically now, but still has the second most wins among power 5 conferences over past 10 years, I think. Or, maybe most wins.

2015 will be really important for LSU's future. Just wish we had a proven QB.

Alabama is the only lock. Auburn is pretty strong despite a disaster year if you're including a natty and another appearance and 2 conference titles.

I don't think anyone would really object to calling Auburn, LSU or UGA perennial top 10 programs, but there are arguments against the inclusion of any of the three.

Agree - I think all 3 of those have had a lot of really high highs but also a few pretty low lows. UGA's highs aren't as high but their lows aren't as low as say Auburn.

I'd probably say
1. Alabama

2a. LSU
2b. Georgia

4. Auburn



With all 4 in the Top 12 or so.

Slipping?

One 8-5 season doesn't define a program, especially when the majority of our key players are freshmen. Doesnt LSU lead the NFL with current roster members also?

We're also about to renovate our football ops building, we're breaking ground to our Nutrition Facility any day now, and play infront of 102,000 in Tiger Stadium. Our facilities are fine or are being addressed


Our talent level is top 10 (or higher) in the country, our donors are very generous, & we're willing to pay our assistants very well.

Doesn't include Mizzou or A&M)

Agree, but you've had 3, 3, and 5 losses the past 3 years. You've got to stop that noise or your talent level wont stay that high.

somebody who got outcoached/beaten by a B1G basketball school and has barely beaten a + .500 conference team in the last 5 years? Better than what you have? Maybe, top 10,, no.
