Ranking the SEC programs this decade - College Football Nation Blog - ESPN I dont agree with this. Florida has more SEC wins than us, so I guess thats his train of thought.
Looks like deciding factor was SEC record. If so, why bother posting the other stats (ie. the ones we beat Florida in?)
I guess if you look at it; 4 push columns (record, sec title games, sec titles, national titles) 3 Florida wins (W-L Sec, W-L top 25, top 25 finish) 2 LSU wins (Bowl Wins, and top 10 finishes) so 3 to 2 Florida. kinda makes sense.
Crazy that LSU had 2 5-loss seasons and did not finish ranked in either. Florida had 3 5-loss seasons , and finished two of them ranked #25 and the other ranked #24.
You know looking at that and we LSU fans complain all the time. Geez we have had it good the last 10 years...
Seriously, it's arguing for the opinion of a writer as top team in the SEC for the decade. The fact we are in the argument shows where we're at. Truthfully, I would give the nod to Florida because they have more momentum ending the decade than we do and they had a better head-to-head record against us (barely though, 6-4)
Not really... they ended the decade with a loss to Bama, we ended it with a win over Arky. I'd say we finished stronger.
