It's just the natural progression of the conference. When one or a few teams backslide a little, other teams take their place.



I don't see that at all the last two years. Teams have slid, yes. No one has really stepped up to take their place. The SEC east was extremely non comptetitive. The West, LSU was the second best team and they didn't beat anyone of note. Ole Miss....huge disappointment. It wasn't very good beyond the top two teams.

Bama, Florida, UK, and Ole Miss are all much better over the last 2 years than they have been for the rest of the decade. When you go from 6 and 7 bowl eligible teams to 10 and a much better out of conference winning percentage, then some team had to step up.

I don't see how you can argue that the conference was deep in the mid-2000's when 5 to 6 teams had losing records for 3 years straight. Not only were those teams losing in conference but they were losing out of conference.
