re: Ole Miss and State being half-decent upsets a lot of people

I'll be honest: I think this being a "down" year in the sec has everything to do with the MS schools being at least as good as Arky and AtM and better than Au.

The perception that we are down is really tied to the parity and the fact that these schools have had relative success. Well, that plus the east. East is absolute dumpster fire this year.
