The more interesting storyline:

He's 4 - 4 against the West, with the potential to be 4 - 5.

Would Kirby even finish better than 3rd in the West every year?

IMO, the West wasn't a whole lot better than the East was this season. The only real difference is the best team in the county is in the West. Take Alabama out of the equation, and they're pretty equal. Obviously, if UGA was in the west they'd be playing Alabama but I think UGA would have finished second both this year and last. And you also need to account for the fact that 2 of his losses to the West were in his first season and another was in the national championship game. The 4th was to Auburn who they later crushed in the SECCG.
