Exactly my point. The SECW has reached a critical mass that will take a re-structuring of divisions to solve.

Has no grasp of how many good football players are in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Even Tennessee produces players now in Nashville.

I'm not saying there is no talent, good lord. I'm saying there isn't ENOUGH talent to go around in the EAST with teams like Bama and Auburn vacuuming away the blue-chips.

well we are all fricked now because we've messed with the geography gods by putting Mizzou in the east when they are way west. You just cant screw around with geography... that is why the SEC didn't win the BCS last year. Im telling you, we need to get Mizzou into the east or the geography gods will continue to extract their pound of flesh

There's more than enough talent in Florida to sustain multiple programs, just like there is in Texas.


19 Million people in Florida, more than enough to support multiple schools (both in and out of state).

26 Million in Texas. Same thing.

As for Georgia, there are more people in Metro Atlanta than their are in the State(s) of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisianan and South Carolina. It's another state that exports football talent.

Bama and Auburn aren't vacuuming away the blue chips from Florida. Sure, they're getting some, but I'm not sure you grasp how much talent there is in Florida.

Tennessee is an incredibly talent deficient state

Well Arkansas isn't exactly a producer of talent either so we'll call it a draw.

Well that's just not true in either aspect.

Well why does the West shite the bed in BCS bowl games? Auburn, Bama(twice), LSU, Arky all in this dominant streak you mention

Not so much anymore. It's improving. It's not like GA or FL obviously, but it's better than it used to be.

I'm just glad LSU is all alone in such a talent rich state. Now that Saban built the foundation, and Miles has taken the flag and competing for championships, I don't see our program falling back for a long time. Even after Miles leaves (hopefully not for another 10 years), we have the athletes in state to weather the storm.

The SECWest is much better at keeping our best recruits in our division than the East is.

I'm wondering will Spurrier's impact stay on USCe even after he leaves. Really good talent in the Carolinas, and recruiting of UGA well. Kinda like how he turned UF from a mediocre football program, (history wise prior to him, yall were) to a powerhouse, which has succeeded even after he left it.
