Reality is setting in for most people now. What everyone seems to forget is that football runs in cycles. There are plenty of examples: Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Notre Dame, Florida State, and yes even Florida and Alabama. All these teams are always at the top most years, but every single one has crashed, and crashed hard, in the last ten years.

LSU's last losing season: 1999 (3-8). Bama's was in 2003 (4-8) and 2004 wasn't that much better (6-6). Since 2000, LSU has never won less than 8 games. I know many people will not be satisfied with that, but 12 straight seasons of 8+ wins is a feat onto itself. Right now LSU has 7 wins, one away from making it 13 straight seasons. Before 2000 LSU never had more than 5 straight winning seasons.

LSU has recently won the SEC in 2001, 2003, 2007, 2011.... see a pattern?

I know Alabama seems to be impossible to dethrone right now, but trust me, their inevitable fall is coming.

I just hope that Bama's drop is hard and they stay down for many years...

Theory: AJ is a better (college) QB than we thought. With a slightly shakier QB next year, they slip.

LSU is 3rd in the country for most active NFL players. Let that sink in when and how we win.

A few things in response to this:
- Rounding out the top five are USC, Miami, UGA and FSU. I'll take LSU's 7-10 year performance over all of these programs
- Only one of these men is a QB (Flynn, barely). It's really tough to win without a proper QB
- GREAT thing to point out to recruits
