SEC Parity this is the year

I think we all see the way the East is headed, especially considering there isn't an undefeated team left in the East.
I would expect the east winner to have 2 losses or possibly 3. Every team has strengths and weaknesses which will lead to upsets.
The SEC West is too strong for it's own good and there's just no way anyone comes out undefeated and only a couple teams could escape with 1 loss before we even hit the SECCG and playoff.
Contenders:
Bama (7-1 to 5-3)
@ Ole Miss, , @ Arkansas, vs. Tamu, @UT, @LSU, vs. Miss St. , Auburn
@ Ole Miss is a tough matchup, vs. Tamu is everything Ole Miss isn't. @ LSU is smashmouth football then Miss St. the week after an emotional road game, and who knows what the iron bowl will be this year.
Miss St. (6-2 or 5-3)
Good start to the season but they'll split Tamu and Auburn, beat Kentucky, tough matchup with Arkansas, then beat UT martin, they lose at least 1 between Bama and Ole Miss. They finish here because they get Kentucky and Vandy from the east.
Auburn (6-2 or 5-3)
Should beat LSU, but expect a loss @Miss St in a trap spot, then they have a murderous slate Carolina, @ Ole Miss, Tamu, @ UGA they drop at least 1 there and they've still got the Iron Bowl to finish on.
Ole Miss (5-3 or 4-4)
This is a talented team on both sides of the ball but Bo Wallace is prone to make mistakes and I expect a bad game to balance every good game he has and the West is too deep for that. Split Bama and Tamu, lose at least 1 UT, @ LSU, Auburn, split @ Ark, Miss St.
Tamu (5-3 or 4-4)
Arkansas exposed weaknesses they are going to struggle against the rest of the season. Their offense isn't as explosive as we thought in week 1 and the schedule is rough. Lose 2 of the next 3 to @ miss st, Ole miss Bama, loss @ Auburn, toss up game against LSU to end the season (LSU's going to get stronger as the season goes on)
LSU (5-3 to 3-5)
Hardest team to read since the QB change, but someone's got to come out on the bottom of the pile. Don't see them winning @ Auburn this week, should win @ Florida and vs. Kentucky but then a tough home gamve vs. Ole Miss. If they upset Alabama they'll drop the following week @ Arkansas who's too good not to beat someone in the West, and then a toss up to end the season vs. TAMU
Arkansas (3-5 to 1-7)
Someone has to be on the bottom of the barrel, and everyone else is so strong.

So many words to say so little

This is a rarity. But I mostly agree. I think Auburn and Ole miss will do slightly better than you predict and LSU, arky, and tamu to do slightly worse. But I have a bit of homer in me.

West is over rated.

So many words to say he's a homer with zero objective brain cells.

Whoa now! You two pull back on this argument. I mean such in depth analysis of the question right before dinner is more then a man can read.

Solid post except for the fact that a couple of teams doesn't equal only bama with a chance to lose just 1.
Too much bama in you
Too much bama in you

List is shite. Auburn will win out. bookmark it bitches.

I think anyone in the division, to varying degrees of probability, can win this division. Except Arkansas due to the fact they've already dropped two and I doubt they run the rest of the table to even get to 6-2.
Sometimes that parity speaks to a weakness of the division but I think the contrary is obvious. Most of the teams appear to have defenses that can dominate a game. All of the offenses can have their day.
