re: Is there a consensus #2 football program in the SEC, historically?

Until 20 years ago, I would have said top 2 or so.


man how old are you? Even at their peak, which you could probably say in 1997 was the highest point their program had ever been or would ever be, I doubt anyone woudl call them the 2nd best program in CFB history.

Older than you're guessing, and I would say Nebraska was at their peak long before 97.

Until recently, they were really only down in the 50's. Outside of that, they'd been a strong, highly ranked team most seasons. They've fallen HARD the past 2 decades, and still have more wins and a better % than anyone in the SEC outside of Alabama.
