    "all-time"? No.

    over a particular period? Maybe.


    edit: 2010-2017 looked like a pretty good run and it ranks #35 Nationally and #7 in the SEC (all games-win%)

    All time, I agree with you.

    I'm looking more at from "at this point going forward"

    Roger that... I think if y'all go 3-0 vs LSU, AU & FLA this year (and don't get upset by anyone), y'all are a Top 20 team for as long as you can maintain that momentum...

    I really hate the "all time" talk because it doesn't mean a damn thing. I'm not diminishing sustained success...it's worth something. But when people talk about great football programs, folks like to bring up, for example, Tennessee. Yes, their "all time" record is strong. But they haven't done anything of note in more than a decade. That 1998 championship won't win them a single game next year.

    Likewise, the fact that MSU sucked for the better part of the 20th century and during the Croom error won't lose a single game for us next year.

    As of right now, at this time, MSU is no doubt a top 20 program.

    All time means a LOT. Sure there are a few newbies to the club and a few blue bloods drop out. Most of the blue bloods stay there over the long haull.

    It depends on whether the SEC network money is here to stay.

    Stretch over the 90's Bama looked like shit for the most part. This is just since the playoff started.
