Well MSU is located in Starkville, MS. Strike 1. And no matter how many "This is Our State" billboards they plant all over MY state's highways, it's just, not. In fact, you share the state with Ole Miss and USM, and Alabama, and LSU, and Auburn. You have no recent success to point to, no tradition worth speaking of, and it's taken Mullen years to beat any single SECW team not named Ole Miss. I think it's more than fair to say MSU will never be elite.

Although the point that MSU will never be truly elite is correct, your post is full shite. All the wrong reasons. Who gives a frick that we're located in a smaller town or that we spent a few years not beating four specific teams?

We will never be elite because we don't have the $, and the population of the state is too low to support 2 major programs.

I think UF will return to form shortly but will not quite replicate the success they had under Meyer. I just don't see a Muschamp team beating LSU or Bama in the conference title game.

A&M has as good of a shot as UGA or UT. Sumlin is going to be an ace recruiter and A&M is about to spend hundreds of millions on football facilities (which will further help in recruiting).
Being an elite team requires elite talent and head coach.
I think Sumlin is the right guy for us.

I live in your state. It's not that it's a small town. It's that it's Starkville! It's near nothing. Very few if any elite level recruits wanna go there and spend four years of their lives losing to LSU and Alabama, amongst others. My daughter went there. I tried to warn her. She left after year 1, wound up at Tulane. (where did I go wrong??)
