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
2015 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)

24 total championship games, 48 total division winners

8-0 : 12
7-1 : 23
6-2 : 11
5-3 : 2

73% of all spots have gone to 8-0 or 7-1 teams

6-2 is not good enough most of the time, but occasionally is, you def. need help.

5-3 you're basically dead, barring some major insanity

Gotta bring it every week. I didn't know it had been that long since Bama went undefeated.

the west is so tough it's basically impossible to go undefeated anymore.

Great post.
And what's so crazy is LSU won the West in '01 with a 5-3 record, then beat #2 Tennessee in Atlanta, destroyed Illinois in the Sugar Bowl, and finished 10-3 and #6 in the country...

FRICK FRICK FRICK FRICK.

The only time a West team won the division with a 5-3 record they beat a #2 in the country ranked Vol team.

WHAT THE FRICK WAS FULMER DOING IN THAT GAME!

Still not over it.

So much for thinking TN could lose 2 in that stretch of UF, @UGA, @A&M and Bama and still win the East.

Better start 2-0 or we will be in trouble.

He was in Florida at the cfb awards show the Wednesday of the game for starters. When Josh Reed won the biletnikoff award and they announced he and Saban were in BR getting ready for the SECCG they cut to Fulmer who had a not so bright look on his face.

LSU wins the SEC with the worst conference record in 01 and wins the national title in 07 with two losses and LSU fans always say Bama has all the luck and gets all the breaks.

I guess that if my team had beaten your team just five times in fifty eight years at home (5-26), I'd be hunting for an excuse, too!

Cheating caused Fournette to rush for 31 yards last year.

I didn't say y'all did or didn't cheat, I was just correcting your assertion as to what the average LSU fan says about Alabama

Looking back at it...I had forgotten that '09 was the only year both teams were undefeated in conference. Thanks for doing the work.

Chavis forgot to tell his defense to tackle.

Really? From the chart, the West did it TWICE as many times as the East (8-4).
