To know where you are in the present, sometimes you have to look into your past.
For some, that can be a fun, healthy endeavor. For others, well, not so much.
Still, we're paying homage to the past and how it's affected the present in the SEC this week by taking a look at where each program was 10 years ago and where it currently stands. Some programs have made big leaps, some have steadied the course, and others, well, they're yearning for the days of old.
We continue the series now with LSU:
2006 record: 11-2
2006 coach: Les Miles
Notable: After winning an SEC West title in his first season at LSU, Miles' team ranked in the top 10 for most of 2006, finishing at 11-2 and third in the final Associated Press Top 25 after its 41-14 destruction of Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
