They tried to climb the ladder and be Alabama and broke their necks falling down.

I don't know about other programs in the sec, but LSU's administration does not care to be elite. They are satisfied with allowing former players, fans and the good ole boys steer the direction of the program.

I'd say lets see how the bowls shake out first. It is never easy to diagnose how good the conference is just by inter-conference games. Once we let the dust settle, you will have a better idea.
I'm not saying one way or another, lets just see. I could see the SEC winning most of our games OR shitting the bed.

Auburn - injuries and mental lapses in coaching

Objectively speaking Coach O will most likely have better results than Les did over the last 4 years.

I was told I only thought that because LSU sucks this year.
The SEC has 1 good team, 6 mediocre teams, and the rest are awful.
To still say there is prestige in playing an SEC conference schedule is laughably absurd.
If it weren't for Bama, we wouldn't even be a P5.

Off year, but the SEC will resurge.
AAC has 5-6 teams that can win 10 games this year depending on bowl outcomes, same for Big 10.
Much more parity in college football these days.

We simply quit and are no longer trying it seems.
The ball is in the rest of the Big Six's hands to get better.

The proof is in the pudding, and the end result shows that the batch this year was thin and watery.

Coaching, Strength & Conditioning (every school does the same shite these days), recruiting services (they miss a lot), and smarts.

It's 100% coaching. Of course better players make teams better. But coaches are responsible for identifying talent, recruiting them to their school, coaching/developing the players up to their potential, and turning that talent into wins. Great coaches will elevate the school they are at to their maximum potential.
IMO the best coaches in college football are: Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh, James Franklin, Mark Dantonio, David Shaw, Bobby Petrino, Jimbo, Dabo, and Chris Peterson. Based on that list it's pretty obvious why the SEC might be down and why the BIG looks like the best conference this year.
During the SEC's run we had 4 of the coaches listed above in our conference. Add to that Spurrier, Richt, Miles, and Dan Mullen (who I think is a great coach and probably elevated Miss State to their ceiling as a program), and it's easy to see what has changed recently. Not to mention that at some point during the SEC's run alot of the current head coaches were coordinators at one of the SEC schools.
A lot of the current head coaches are new and will hopefully develop in to solid coaches and continue to build their program (I think Gus, Kirby, Hugh, and Muschamp) all have potenital, but none of them are there yet. Let's see where the conference is another few years.

Some traditional powers such as UT, Florida, LSU, UGA, and Auburn are blazing dumpsters loaded onto freight cars and smashed into each other.
How did we get here?
That the SEC currently has much more "pedigree" in its basketball than football coaching ranks is one thing.
The other is that teams like LSU, Auburn and Florida all field defenses perfectly capable of being in the hunt for a playoff spot but all had mediocre to poor QB play.
Those teams aren't dumpster fires but their offenses were just not good enough to be better than middling Top25 teams at the best.

Where does the SEC rank in terms of conference strength in your opinion?
I know that the SEC West from a talent standpoint has never been better top to bottom.

Quit embarrassing yourself. LSU was 7-4 on merit. And it's a dumpster fire now that we've hired the interim head coach/defensive line coach.

Les Miles stayed the same.
Posted on 12/7/16 at 4:17 pm to Bench McElroy
Honestly Urban Meyer faked a condition, Miles got more retarded on offense, Spurrier got old, Petrino motorcycle'd and Richt finally lost all control.
