The East needs someone other than Florida to compete for a NCAA Championship.

This is usually said in context of a comparison to the SEC West.
Lets look at some more facts:
SEC West ranked teams per year:
2014: 4, 11, 17, 22 (East: 9, 14)
2013: 2, 7, 14, 18 (East: 5, 4, 24)
2012: 1, 5, 14 (East: 5, 9, 8, 23)
2011: 1, 2, 5 (East: 9, 19)
2010: 1, 8, 10, 12, 15 (East: 22)
2009: 1, 17, 20 (East: 3)
So, since at leat the East's last NC in 2008, the West has been better in the rankings (and head-to-head) (usually significantly better). "The East is Down" relative to the West has been accurate.

Sorry you don't like facts.
Its fairly clear you are not a fan of facts yourself.
Decline and historically down are two different tings. Unless things are constantly in a state of perpetual equality there are always ups and downs.
You knock yourself out ignoring the fact that the SEC east in 2013, was one of the top 1/4 seasons the East has ever had and that 2014 wasnt even close to the "worst" the East has been.
I get that having the East not be "down" while Mizzou wins the division hurts some of your feelings and perceptions but thats just tough.
