Of all of the cross division matches played the SEC has won exactly one, Georgia over hapless Arkansas. Seems not that long ago that UF, UT, and UGA were the toast of the SEC, now apart from UGA they are just toast. I expected USC to make some noise this year but the lack of wise cracks from Spurrier shows that they aren't in the hunt this year. Vandy has completely fallen apart after Franklin left. Kentucky is getting more talented (Thanks in large part to an Ohio born and raised coach) but they haven't come together yet. While Mizzou (Who by the way is coached by another Ohio born and raised fella) is competitive but not enough to stop UGA from embarrasing them. The only division worse this year might be the B1G west.

This is complete utter BS but I see why a Big Ten fan would love to believe. Georgia would handily beat most teams in the country not in the SEC. Sure, you have Oregon, FSU, Notre Dame, and maybe a few other teams that even have the same level of athletes on the field but it is what it is.

South Carolina could easily be in the top 25 if they played in the Pac-12 or Big 10.

Lopsided games happen all the time even among top 25 teams. Do you seriously think the Texas A&M offense is not good enough to score a single point on Alabama yet Southern Miss could score more than once?

Ahhh, another holy reverend of the SEC faith. Are you going to cry when Ohio State gets into the Playoff? Rant? Rave around like a lunatic crying out how the North is corrupt and the South needs to try to break away again?

I gave due respect to UGA and I'm not talking about aTm. I'm talking about how bad the SEC East is. I can't remember a time when they collectively were this much worse than the SEC West.

That would be 2010 when South Carolina was the only ranked team (#18 at the time) and lost to Auburn 56-17 in the SEC championship game.

I agree that the SEC east is bad. But im going to defend Arkansas. We have only lost to teams in the top 10. We have been competitive in every game except the first half against Georgia. Winless in conference play? Yes, Hapless? No. Just stuck on the wrong side of the conference.

Touché

Will be amusing if Georgia takes out the West Champion in the SEC Championship game.

The SEC East may as well be in the Big10.

Part of the issue with the SEC East is the SEC West is historically good. Having 4 of the top 5 teams in the nation in one division is ridiculous.

Sorry about the dig on Arkansas. I just didn't like the way Bielmna left Wiscy. I understand why he did it (primarily lack of institutional and monetary suport for his staff) I just didn't like the way he went about it. That being said the man knows how to coach. He's just been thrown into a buzzsaw of a division this year and has been far more competitive this year compared to last. However, he still hasn't won an SEC game, which can't sit well with fans.

If Arkansas can pull off wins against LSU at home and at Missouri then that would be good enough for Bielema. I am very interested in the Arkansas game when Ole Miss comes to town. Arkansas just seems due for at least one upset win in the West.

It's possible, UGA is a good team.

I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't possible. UGA will show up with a chip on their shoulder for that game.

Our first glimpse into that will be the Georgia and Auburn game.

I agree that the SEC West is freakishly good, but Florida getting blown out at home? And when was Tennessee last good? Filmer? The Big 3 in the east have shifted and are now UGA, USC, & Mizzou.

Florida was blown out at home last year against FSU. Alabama has crushed them a few times in Gainesville. Urban Meyer's last year they lost 3 homes games so it's not unprecedented.

Tenn hasn't been good since the days of Fullmer, but I believe Tenn's demise was caused by two teams: Vandy under Franklin and SC under Spurrier. These used to be two guaranteed wins every year.

Listen I could care less about the SEC East and I don't need to pimp them because even if they were all 6 loss teams Alabama would still have a better schedule than most teams in the country.

But look who Florida has lost to: Missouri, Alabama, and LSU. All of these teams have tons of talent and two or less losses with tough schedules.

Look at Kentucky: People are in other threads pimping teams like Marshall who play absolutely no one but when Kentucky plays them along with beating a couple SEC teams they are terrible?

Georgia no need to even elborate if they are good or not.

South Carolina. Say what you will about their record but they have beaten a really good Georgia team, a ranked ECU team, while again only losing to teams who already have five or more wins.

Tennessee. They have beaten the favorite to win the SBC, one of the leaders in the MWC, and the only team 3/4 teams they have lost to are currently in the top 25.

Vandy is the only team that has bad losses and bad wins.

So again how is the SEC East bad? You guys act like they have been losing to G5 teams and bad P5 teams.

Considering I dislike the south as an area and most of the country idiots that live here no.

I'm an Alabama fan because I went there for two semesters but don't lump me in with the good ole boys lol.

I believe the OP is comparing them to the SEC West and the fact they only have one ranked team. Thus far the SEC East has beaten the West in only ONE game thus far. But you're right, there's a lot of football left for them to prove themselves.

Its hilarious to see the SEC spin on this. The East is awful.
