You are satisfied with mediocrity and others are not. Do you get up in the morning and say "75%" is good enough for me? Well, if i were to wake up this morning as a bama or fla fan, i'm in a good mood. Saban is capable of 2 back to back undefeated regular seasons, and fla is in place to possibly play for a 3 title...so please tell me why it's ok for LSU to take a breather for a while? Are we supposed to be content with watching other programs maintain steady success while LSU's program struggles to keep up?

The problem is that if we win the NC next year and then finish second in the West next year people will be upset. Believe it. Read the posts. The expectations here are stupid. I have seen posts on this board that say a failure to win the SEC is a failed season. We have won 10 SEC champs in 76 years. You do the math.

We should expect the following:

To be competitive in the SEC West and SEC each year. For the record, we were this year. We played close games against the two top teams in the nation.
To get to the SECCG every few years
To be relevant in the BCS and national discussion most years
To be top 15-20 most years --- years like last year happen at every school. (I don't mean necessarily ranked 15-20, I mean ranked between 1 and 20, for those who have trouble reading)

We should understand that:

At present the SEC is loaded like never before.
We are not going to win the West every year.
We may not win the West every other year.
We will not win the SEC every year.
We may not win the SEC every other year.
We will not win the NC every year.
We may not win the NC every four years.

If your expectations are an SEC champ or bust each year you probably won't enjoy being a fan of LSU or any school for that matter.
