The east administrations that like to b**** about the finances of the west should be embarassed at how they've played in cross-division games. And not just this year.

I keep reading posts from the fan bases of the East schools saying how the west schools are not committed to football. I look at the head to head wins and loses the last five years and I see that it is basically even. Where is the so called dominance?

The SBC is a very competitive conference. Now in is guaranteed.
