In terms of national perception, no we aren't elite. The elite programs are Notre Dame, Alabama, USCw, Texas, Michigan and Ohio State. If one of those teams has one loss, they are ahead of us in the polls with us having 1 loss, it is the perception of them being better than us.

Perception only matters to fans. Coaches care about having the opportunity, if having a successful season, to play for the National title. That is an elite program, acc'd to coaches. Auburn is playing for our 2nd in 4 years. That is as elite as it gets right now, outside of bammer.
