Yes, with the right coaches. It's not a mystery. Success in football is a combination of excellent coaching and recruiting. The West has had better coaches and recruiting. Top 10 recruiting doesn't cut it when your rivals in the West have top 5 recruiting. And in our case, UGA, what has been lacking during the Richt era has been top notch recruiting in the trenches. All of the championship teams in the West had one thing in common, superior OL and defenses in general.

Well, for those without Google, the East won 8 of the 9 SEC championships between 1990 and 1998.

but the West has been so much better than the East for a long time, and that has continued yet again.


The East said the same shite in the 90s which is why I brought it up.

Showing that this thing can go in streaks is grasping at straws?

I'd say the West will be the better division roughly 80% of the time going forward.

Serious question…

You have UK in the bottom Tier yet they already beat Cocks and Dores in your Tier 5. They have also beaten State and Missouri in your Tier 4. If they beat Dawgs or Vols by years end, how can you have them in Tier 5?

This was a historical program ranking, not this season.

I guess after one good year Kentucky should be marked as an SEC power house in football.

I guess my one change to the OP is that Florida with a good coach is a tier 1 program- see more SEC title game wins than any other program, etc.

I don't know if Mac is that kind of coach- Strategy wise he is, but his recruiting is arguably the worse we've had since before Spurrier.

This is kind of misleading- its like arguing the SEC is currently dominating college football- Bama is dominating and Florida dominated, the two other big East programs were basically the Auburn and LSU of this argument.

I heard several ideas to move Bama and/or Auburn to the East depending on what happens during the next expansion.

Sure the east is fixable. Florida, georgia, and tennessee will be competitive again...I just don't know how long until they can catch up with the west, but it will happen someday lol.

The Florida Gators are in the East

The team that has won more SEC championship games than anyone.

Don't worry about the East

If UGA and UT hired good coaches, it wouldn't even be a question.
