Last 2 years, that hasn't been the case.
1- Yes, we competed in a very down time in the SEC. Saban took the job in 2007 (for a contract of 32 MILLON btw)

2- the last 2 year were into a down cycle for MSU.

2009:

lost by 25 to Auburn
Lost by 20 to UF
lost by 28 to Fl
Lost to Ark by 21


Not seeing the competed part there.


2010:

Lost to LSU by 22
Lost to Bama by 20
Lost to Ark in OT
Lost to Auburn by 3

So I see improvement from 2009 to 2010.


But it keeps being the same issue. At our best, we are behind the nations elite... there is a reason for that.
