So... In 11 complete seasons they've had 2 bad seasons ('08, '12) and 3 mediocre seasons, 6 good seasons... including 2 undefeated seasons, 2 national championship appearances and 1 year where they were robbed of going to the national championship.

That's bad? Aside from Florida, LSU, and Bama who would you argue has been better? Ole Miss? FSU?

Ohio State has been more consistent. I guess USC had a good run too. So they're maybe #6 in college football over that time?

And there is an argument you could move them up a few and push Florida, USC, Ohio State, and maybe LSU. frick man, actually no. They've been pretty damn good in that time.

This is coming from a HUGE LSU homer.

Agreed. Many programs would kill to have 2-3 losing seasons if it meant they could also be in the National Championship hunt in December in 2-3 years as well.

Here is how the programs stack up since 2004 in terms of Appearances in the AP Top 25:

1) LSU- 175
2) Ohio State- 165
3) Oklahoma- 163
4) Oregon- 148
5) USC- 146
6) Georgia- 139
7) Alabama- 138
8) Florida- 131
9) Wisconsin- 127
10) Texas- 126
11) Florida State- 124
12) Auburn- 116

Not great, but not that bad either.

If you look at only appearances in the Top 5 since 2004, they rise up to #9.
