LSU 2nd best program in SEC history

I've seen posts on this board that refer to LSU is an SEC doormat historically, and LSU fans seem to swallow it. I'm a Bama fan, but IMO, LSU has an argument for being the 2nd best program in the SEC historically. I just cut and pasted the following info from a post from another site. Though the primary subject is Bama, notice how many important categories where LSU is 2nd or not far from it. And LSU has more charisma, along with Bama, than any other SEC program. IMO, they are historically the ninth best program nationally.

In the poll era (1936-) Bama has as many AP and/or Coaches Poll NCs as the rest of the SEC combined: 11-11, LSU and UF second with 3 each, it would be more if we counted the pre-poll era; more SECCs than 2 and 3 combined: Bama 26 vs UT 13 & UGA 12, LSU has 11; more major bowl victories than 2 and 3 combined: Bama 25 vs LSU 11 & UGA 9, AU has 4; Bama has a winning record 13-0 against every other SEC member both on the road and at home (counting Legion Field as alternate home with AU), LSU 2nd at 10-3; Bama has at least one SECC in every (9) decade of the SEC's existence, LSU second with (7: 30s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 00s, 10s). The 35 years from '59-94 Bama won 7 NCs the rest of the SEC won one - UGA in '80. Finally, Bama has more unblemished (no loss or tie) regular seasons than the rest of the SEC combined, Bama 18-17 (UT 2nd with 5), and more unblemished seasons including post season than the rest combined, Bama 9-8 (3 tied for 2nd with 2 each). Criteria: post 1914 with at least 9 games played. The SEC began in 1933.
