Meyer has a good chance at restoring the franchise next year though. LSU didn't look like a national title team this year either..

I think whats missing here is that no conference was that good this year. They all seemed middle of the road. People just naturally consider SEC competition to be very tough. Teams seem just a tad more physical. However, what other conference could you really say was better than the SEC? I definitely do not see any.
Arkansas had a rough finish to their season, but they could have won other conferences. Also, why are people being so hard of Florida? Sure, they weren't what people are used to seeing, but they never lost by more than a touchdown. They should have beat Tennessee. LSU, Georgia, and Mississippi State were all games that could have easily gone the other way. Sometimes a solid team can just be caught by surprise. Just ask Arizona State.

Yes, but you don't see 3 top 20 teams on their schedule. Not to mention having to play one twice. In fact, not even one.
