re: LSU 2nd best program in SEC history

Historical perspective shows that there are seasons in which Bama scheduled an extra SEC game (VANDY) and were awarded the SEC championship due to having an extra W in the column...even if they lost a head to head matchup with second place team and had same number of conference losses. We should also note that Bama forced their biggest rival and other SEC schools to play neutral site conference games at Legion Field for decades. No arguing that Bama isn't number 1 obviously but you have to look at the other big 6 teams differently knowing the extra advantages that Bama had.
