If that's the case then,
Florida had not won an SEC title since the arrival of SOS in '91.
Alabama has had 5 losing season since 1997.
Tennessee has won 2 SEC titles since conference expansion.
Auburn has won the west once since conference expansion and has only been in the title game on 3 occassions.
Georgia hasn't been to the SEC title game but once in the last 7 seasons.
Arkansas has never won an SEC title since their arrival to the SEC in 1992.
Mississippi State has been to two SEC title games and is 0-2.
UK, SC, Ole Miss, and Vandy have not set foot in Atlanta.
My point is that if LSU is NOT an "elite" SEC program, then really only Bama is if you wanna just count titles and legends and bullshite past traditions. But in the last 20 years, LSU is as elite as any of them.

Dude, I was in Tiger Stadium for every second of the games when Curley was coach. Spurrier was on another level altogether. I hate Florida with every fiber of my being, but I hate them because they were brutally dominating. Something they reestablished under Meyer.
LSU hasn't reestablished anything (yet) and we haven't sustained what we had in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007. And it's hard to say we were as dominate as some of those Florida teams. In 2003, we lost to Florida. In 2007, we lost to Arkansas and Kentucky. We won the crystal footballs to be sure (and that's all that matters) but we didn't do it in a convincing enough manner to command the kind of respect that Florida and Alabama have historically.
Going forward, LSU could very well establish ourselves as an elite program. But it hasn't happened yet. We've done it in baseball, but we have not in football.
And isn't that why all you people want to fire Miles? We're not elite now and you think we'll find the right coach to get us to the elite level and KEEP us there. Even though LSU never has, you take it as an article of faith that we will get there and stay there.
