re: LSU 2nd best program in SEC history

Historically, I'd say

Alabama
Tennessee
LSU/Georgia/Auburn
Florida/Ole Miss
Kentucky
Vanderbilt/Miss St

And this isn't a shot at Florida, either. I'd say that up until the 80's, Florida was on the same level as Kentucky. They're climbing up the list.

Tennessee used to be a clear #2, they're dropping into the pack. LSU had been pushing that level, but I think needed another decade like the last one to move into #2.
