I'm surprised they didn't have a written clause for MSU. Something like MSU couldn't represent the West in the championship game if they finish in a divisional tie for first place. Their East schedule was complete garbage and they should be ashamed of hanging a banner that one year.


Oh shut the frick up.

Hell, UK had mike leach as OC and Tim Couch at QB in 1998. I’d say they were hardly scrubs and they beat us anyway and we still won the west.

SEC football in the 90’s was a lot different than what we’ve seen the last 15 years. A hell of a lot more parity back then.

I’ll give you that the 1998 team was probably one of the worst to ever win the west but no one else did shite that year either. Our 99 team was way better than 98 and they didn’t win the west.

It's great, that UK had a pulse that year, but Arkansas had to play Tennessee during the regular season and they were ranked #1.

State was extremely lucky to play Arkansas the following week after their heartbreaking loss to Tennessee. You guys beat Arkansas at home by one point.

Probably? They finished 8-5.

The funny thing is that 98 team should have beaten eventual national champ Tennessee in the SEC title. Led 14-10 in 4th quarter and blew it like we love to do
