re: Missouri already blew their chances at threepeating the East

I posted this a few weeks ago, the SEC record of the winner of each division:

Year East West
1992 6-2 8-0
1993 7-1 8-0*
1994 7-1 8-0
1995 8-0 6-2
1996 8-0 6-2
1997 7-1 6-2
1998 8-0 6-2
1999 7-1 7-1
2000 7-1 6-2
2001 7-1 5-3
2002 7-1 6-2*
2003 6-2 7-1
2004 7-1 8-0
2005 6-2 7-1
2006 7-1 7-1
2007 6-2 6-2
2008 7-1 8-0
2009 8-0 8-0
2010 5-3 8-0
2011 7-1 8-0
2012 7-1 7-1
2013 7-1 7-1
2014 7-1 7-1

(for 1993 and 2002 I'm using the best divisional record put up, that would have won the division if not for probation)

23 total championship games, 46 total division winners

8-0 : 12
7-1 : 21
6-2 : 11
5-3 : 2

71% of all spots have gone to 8-0 or 7-1 teams

6-2 is usually not good enough, but occasionally is, you def. need help.

5-3 you need some major insanity
