Great post. I forget just how dominant we were from 2000-2007.

Not that it matters but I'd put 5 10 win seasons with an * for 08-15. You cancel a mcneese type game in any "10 win" season and you'd only have 9. Whether we were disappointed in how we lost we did only lose 3 games all season against the meat of our schedule. The same as any other 10 win season without an SECCG appearance.

Every other sub 10 win team since 2000 dropped at least 4 games during the meat of their schedule and bowl game. I don't think it's fair to classify last years team with them just because a non FBS warmup game was cancelled.

IIRC, SEC had 3 NCs '00-'07 (with LSU owning 2) and 6 NCs '08-present.....with 5 of those from LSU's own division.
Similar with baseball with 1 SEC NC from '00-'07 and 4 since.
Not really covering for Joe, but safe to say SEC competition is a good bit stronger.
