As a fan of the last eastern team to win the SEC (sadly, since 2008) and the team with the most SEC championship games, I must ask: will a team from the east finally break through and win the SEC this year?

I don't think it'll happen this year unless florida is in the SEC championship game. I believe this will come full circle and Florida will be the next victorious eastern team in the SEC championship game (probably next year though).

Only if Arkansas wins the West. They tend to screw the pooch in Atlanta.

Only if we play like the teams from last year's bowl games

UGA has a chance. I don't think any other team from the East would win.

East will more than likely continue the drought. It's never a sure thing, but I would have to go with whoever comes out of the West for the 2015 season. I think many of the projected top East teams have better shots in 2016 (specifically UT, GA, and MIZZ) with improved talent and depth. I think Florida will still be on the outside looking in for the next 2 years at least.

Very interesting question.

Only God knows.

Lets see as the season unfolds.

Sometimes surprising things happen.

I think if Georgia gets there, they will win it. IF they get there.

If Lambert pans out then Georgia has a great shot

Seems to feel correct but each season begins hope anew

So, Bama is the last SEC west team to lose the championship game.

Well, that's embarrassing. Better to not have gone.

Wait, that would make us Ole Miss.
Never mind.

Georgia puts it together this year. They win the east and the SEC. In playoffs. The west winner will have 2 losses. It's gonna be hell.

Also Ohio state loses to somebody like Michigan Michigan state or the like.

Mizzou has higher goals than the SEC. It's National Champions or bust for us this year.

The SEC East has won the SEC Championship only 5 times in the 2000s. The last time this happened was in 2008.

Florida - 2000
Georgia - 2002
Georgia - 2005
Florida - 2006
Florida - 2008


7 years since the East claimed the Championship last. I wonder who's most likely going to be the team to pull it off soon?

Best shot would be Georgia. They are pretty consistent at beating Western teams past two years, just not so good at getting to the game. The were also only a sliver away from winning last time they played Bama.

Nutt was a royal pooch-screwer. He was fricking gold as an underdog but would shite the bed as soon as there were expectations.
