I'd have to pick a team not only your list.
I think Auburn is on more of a decline than anyone in the SEC.
We have won 2 SEC games since beating Ole Miss year before last. Not to mention losing most of our assistants, almost all of them, all but the one most fans want gone. Add in the fact we just had one of the most beloved players/coaches in our history leave for a lateral move to a division rival... It certainly looks as if the rats are abandoning a sinking ship...
None of this counts the idiot we have as an AD. Most Auburn fans want JJ gone before we hire another coach, so we don't have to suffer another Jay Jacobs football coaching search. His 2 hires so far are Gene Chizik and Gus Malzahn. One a loser as a HC before he was hired, and the other was still cutting his big boy teeth (1 season as a FBS HC.)

Auburn doesn't count. Auburn doesn't decline or improve as a program (with the exception of the '80s).
Auburn is a perpetual roller coaster. They're as likely to win the SEC in any given year as they are to having a losing season. And its usually when you think they are going to be bad/good when they do just the opposite.
Auburn never stays "down" for more than 2 years in a row, and again, with the exception of 1983-1989, they never stay great for more than about 2 years in a row.
So while Auburn might be "down" next year for the second year in a row, its unlikely (based on history) to be a long-term trend.
