Channel surfing and stopped long enough to hear him state that neither Mizzou nor Auburn are the best team in the SEC. He stated that Bama and LSU are the 1st and 2nd best teams in the league.

Dunno, program maybe? If we're talking year-in, year-out, over time, then yeah- Alabama 1, LSU 2. Pretty much a given that LSU will be ranked every year, that at some point will be around top 5, that if/when they lose a game the other team will make a big celebration about it. Our disaster year ended 8-5.

Auburn was winless in conference last season, and have been very hit/miss since Tubs left. Florida also has sputtered recently, and crashed this year. Georgia is the poster child for not living up to potential. Petrino might have had something brewing at Arky, but whatever was there is gone now. South Carolina? Good every year, still no BCS bowl, no conference championship.

LSU may have slipped from perennial top 5, but we've leveled off at a 10 win level, with the occasional run still in the tank. We now have a respected OC to go with our respected DC and solid special teams. Pretty sure we're gonna be top 10 next year to start; not a bad program at all.
