re: The SEC is just not as good as it was last year

Anyone agree? I feel like its been a down year as a whole for the conference.

I think a few teams weren't as good as advertised but I still think the SEC as a whole is pretty strong. But this year it was more top heavy than previous years.

Looking at each:
1. Bama is tough on both sides of the ball and overall the top team.

2. Florida is a very good team and with a couple more backs and another year of Driskell learning, they could be really good next year.

3. UGA was a really good team but seem to have hit a wall before the Auburn game. They haven't had the same swarming defense since.

4. LSU can't survive on defense alone forever. They have to find a serviceable quarterback and get some consistency against good competition on the offensive side or they will fall to the middle of the SEC in the next year or two.

5. South Carolina had their horse and lost him. Not sure they are a top 10 team without Lattimore.

6. A&M was probably playing the best football since midseason in the SEC. I expect them to represent the SEC well if Manziel can get his head back on before the game.

7. MSU had a bowl bid due to beating up shitty teams early in the year. Not nearly as good as their 8 win record.
