No, the SEC East is just really bad. I'm not sure any SEC fan would disagree with that. From the looks of it, Georgia is the only team that can be mentioned in any sort of national discussion. The SEC east is not bad. Especially if kentucky ends up being decent. Really the sec west is set apart and the other major conference divisions are pretty equal. The sec east has strong depth with 5-6 solid teams. It's just a down year but top to bottom is much better than the acc coastal and the big ten west and maybe a step behind te PAC divisions. Still pretty solid in the context of FBS. The main reason the sec west is looked at as so remarkable is that the up an coming teams both pulled off two straight upset wins. This has kept the top of the division in te too 10 whereas in previous years alabama and lsu or auburn have destroyed he traditionally mediocre teams like ole miss and msst. Part of the formula that has created this narrative is alabama and LSU/auburn not being able to dominate the division as it has in the past. Is this years sec west better than say 2011 when LSU and Bama were definitely the two best teams in the country and Arkansas was a top 5 team muc of the season. I believe that was the year they were 1,2 & 3 in the BCS very late in the season. Now in the sec west you have a lot more parity than usual. I guess this is why my parody of an SEC homer gets taken as serious posts.
