history. (must be a democrat) Bama led most of the game and ended up losing by a touchdown.

The SEC as whole does seem down this year. Outside of Bama and maybe Florida, there's nothing much there even though the Hogs are playing well now. That said, fans say the same thing every year once their team is eliminated from contention, must make them feel better about their disappointing seasons.

Is there a site that keeps track of OOC wins/losses for each conference?

We may be "down" relatively speaking, but the SEC is till the best conference.

This. A bunch of my auburn buddies started claiming this late in the season for 2009, 2012, and 2014. In some of those seasons, they would even make claims that all of college football was having a down year. Alternatively, they think 2010 was the toughest year in the SEC ever. And I'm sure Bama fans do the same thing. I'm always amazed as how much confirmation bias can influence most college football fans.

The East is still pretty week. Florida clinched the division in early Nov. 2nd in the east is Georgia, who started strong, but did not live up to the hype.
Vandy and UK are pretty much what you'd expect, but Mizzou and SC have flamed out this year...
The West is the West. Late strong finish by Arky and late collapses by Miss and State. Bama/LSU at or near the top and Jekyll and Hyde Auburn is all over the place.
We all know the SEC is still the premier conference in the country, but it will be considered to be down until the East can produce multiple contenders on a national level.

It's down because the QB play across the league is atrocious.
That's why this season has been has so frustrating from my Auburn perspective. With even marginal QB play we could easily be 9-1 right now. Our team from last year almost certainly would be at least that.
