Last year was the first year since probably 2000 that pretty much everybody knew the west rep had zero chance in the SECCG.

I mean, I get your point, but maybe you should remember:

2000
2002
2006

The swing back and forth has been cyclical as to which division has been tougher, but the response has been lately and the current state or which division is better, not which division rep might win. Something like twice in the last 4 years the east has beaten the west head to head. The #2 team from the east beat the #1 and #2 team from the west and the #1 team from the east trucked the #1 team from the west this past season. It's not too far out of line for people to say the east was stronger than the west.

West proponents insisted that the east has been weak even in years when we would have two teams that finished in the top 5. A lot of fans of east teams are now going to insist that the west is weak,(based on the same criteria west fans used) whether it is true or not. Payback.
