It looks like you've defined "elite" as every team clearly above LSU, historically. You could easily include LSU in "elite" status using the very information you provided. It looks like LSU has the third-most success since the inception of the SECCG. But you just drew the line after two teams.

I guess we aren't in the top two, thanks for reminding.

We have been elite this decade. 2 National titles 3 SEC titles and second only to Florida in wins.

No shite, Sherlock.

Since the inception of the SECCG, Florida and Bama have clearly been the best teams in the SEC.

And going forward another 20 years, I won't be surprised if Bama and Florida continue to dominate. Because that's what elite teams do.

You homers keep saying "we should be this" or "we could be that" and while I might agree that we could be, we never have been. We've never stayed at that level for more than a year or two.

The reason LSU and Auburn have such a highly competitive game every year is because LSU and Auburn are almost mirror images of each other. Both of want to be better than Bama, just as much as the Red Sox want to be better than the Yankees. We aren't.
