Neither is mine...I'll be in the stands if they're 1-10 playing Arkansas this year. The bar has been raised for LSU football, the top 20 isn't where that bar should be set, and there's no need to lower that bar for the forseeable future.

Then we are the same page except that I realize that college football goes through cycles.

80s: option is the only offense in town. Nebraska is elete along with Miami
Now: Dreaded "triple option" gets faced in the Chick Fil et Bowl. Nebrakska and Miami are happy to even be ranked.

90s: Fun and gun is now the "it" offense. Spurrier is making the rest of the SEC his bitches. USC sucks balls in the late 90s.
Now: Fun in gun is gone. Spurrier is struggling to keep South Carolina ranked each year. USC is "elite".

2000s: SEC is taking over. New version of the old single wing is taking hold but it has a fancy new name (spread offense). The Option is Back! USC is dominate again.

2010s: Who knows? But I will tell you this: It's inevitable that the SEC will lose it's position as the #1 conference in the nation. USC will eventually start to suck again. The spread offense won't be as dominate in 2019. And guess what? LSU will be happy to be ranked in the top 25.
