bama - 2 mnc, 6 ten/+ win seasons, 3 bcs bowls lsu - 2 mnc, 6 ten/+ win seasons, 4 bcs bowls florida - 2 mnc, 3 ten/+ win seasons, 3 bcs bowls auburn - 1 mnc, 3 ten/+ win seasons, 2 bcs bowls
if you go back 15, or 20 years, it's much worse for auburn compared to those 3.

Again, compare AU to the entire list of Upper Class and see where they rank. Doing it with just teams in the SEC is dumb. You're taking points away from a team for competing against the teams you're calling the best and still doing as good as many of the teams you aren't arguing about who are in lesser conferences.

i get your angle, i just don't agree w/ it. elite means the best of the best. auburn is not the best of the best.
and if you want to compare against texas, here's that breakdown:
auburn - 1 mnc, 3 ten/+ win seasons, 2 bcs bowls texas - 1 mnc, 8 ten/+ win seasons, 4 bcs bowls
you're not as good as texas, and i don't consider texas elite because we don't have multiple national championships over the last 10 years when 3 other teams do.
I Believe Auburn and Love IT...4 Life! You should prepare yourself to live with the consequences of your decisions, whatever they may be.

To me, it's all a matter of how far back you want to go. 25 years? 10 years? 5 years?
Nebraska
5 Years - Bo Pelini bringing the program back to a respectable level.
10 Years - Callahan flushes our 35 year streak of bowl appearances.
25 - Osborne went 60-3 in his final five seasons as Nebraska's head coach, in bringing three national titles.
I don't think you'll find many (if any) Husker fans who argue we're a college power right now. I see Nebraska as a "traditional power," and think most of our fans do.

Its not even the bottom of the top category... its the same category.. if that was the case FSU would not be ahead of UF unfortunately... the difference is not in who is better than who at the top.... its saying
Blue Bloods-Storied program who have consistently been rich throughout generations
-nouveau riche- which means you just recently became rich... Like fsu who have made their program a national power in recent history...starting from the bottom
-Cooperate Elite- big names that who have been around at the top for a long time but have just finally made that big step into being rich...Like UF who although they were a pretty good program were not truely elite until the 90s....
All are equally elite in level and are all the schools you think about when you think who will win the national title this year...

it's not hating, it's reality. auburn has enjoyed some success, but have some perspective.
bama and lsu have been significantly better than auburn over the past 10 years. florida has had a significantly better decade than auburn as well.
how can you call yourself elite on a national level when 3 teams in your conference, and 2 in your own division, totally outclass you?

yeah that is what I thought...
Bama guy who just said that is being a homer cause he doesn't like Auburn but 3 undefeated seasons in the SEC since 93 shows they are an elite team... GA is the only team(as you stated) which is hard to place considering they are probably in between upper class and rich and they have been that way forever...

You're wrong. The guy I quoted asked why Oregon was listed above LSU. My post was a response to his question. I know Auburn is a top program.

Really? Maybe you should have some perspective. Where is AU "totally outclassed"?
2002-2011 (past 10 years, as you said):
lsu 105-27, 3 SEC Championships, 2 BCS Championships, 0 undefeated seasons
florida 95-36, 2 SEC Championships, 2 BCS Championships, 1 undefeated season
AU 94-35, 2 SEC Championships, 1 BCS Championship, 2 undefeated seasons
bama 70-39, 1 SEC Championship, 2 BCS Championships, 1 undefeated season
And for fun, Texas 103-26, 2 Big XII Championships, 1 BCS Championship, 1 undefeated season
Seems to me you are holding AU's conference affiliation against them, considering if Texas was in AU's spot, they'd stack up just the same. If anything, AU doing what it has while being in the SEC with the teams you mentioned makes it even more impressive.

so if you didn't write it why are you all in the middle arguing with these guys about auburn. you should be arguing with the guy that wrote the article. i don't see a problem with it except for the fact that he has miss state in the poor category but ole miss in the middle class when we have clearly passed them.
