I don't think Les should be #2, but someone crowning Les Miles just doesn't rustle my jimmies.

Same age, but one has 4 ten win seasons at a power 5 conference and the other has 0.

Also, 30-0.

No rustle-age intended. Just sick of the double standard use of "What have you done for me lately?"

Maybe he shouldn't be #2, but he should be #6 or 7 like other rankings, as well.

Stopped reading when I saw Mark Richt so high on the list. UGA should be a national powerhouse, he is the reason they fall short of those expectations in miserable fashion every year.

Freeze has won more than two SEC games in each of his three seasons in Oxford.

Put a bit of space between Miles and Saban, but other than that...pretty accurate.

ETA: Flip Flopped Mullen and Freeze. Now accurate.

Agreed, I just pasted as they divided the teams. I'll add some annotations to the OP, as well.

Swap Spurrier and Malzahn, put pace in between Saban and Miles. Then the list is pretty accurate.

Last 2 years..
2-2 against tLandmass
0-2 against Bama
1-1 against AU
1-1 against Arky
2-0 against aTm

.500 against the West
That doesn't really jump off the page as the 2nd best coach in the league. His resume' is strong, but he needs a good year to be mentioned in the top tier again.

Maybe, but if you compared every SEC team in this same way... who's better besides bama?
