SEC West vs. SEC East

It seems like as far back as I can remember (im 24), the SEC East has always been considered the better division. Do you see that trend ending or ended?

Personally, I see more parity now than we've seen over the last few decades.

Here's how I see the next few years going:

SEC West:

1 a&b: LSU and Bama: will be the favorites most years

2: Arky: call me crazy, but I see Petrino doing well in F'ville once he gets more established

3: Ole Miss: Nutt is good, and I see him making waves at OM compared to O, but not sustained.

On the outside: Auburn, depending on what GC can do on the plains.

SEC East:

1: Florida: it's hard to argue that as long as UM will be there, they will likely be the favorite most years

2: Georgia: in most other divisions around the country, UGA would be a heavy favorite every year, but Florida IMO will be the one to beat for a while.

3: Tennessee: not because I think they are going to be stellar, i just don't see as much competitiveness in the East.

On the outside: South Carolina, not sure if Ole Ball Coach will get a chance to make a run at Atlanta here.


Overall, I just see more parity and competitiveness in the West. In the East, I really just see a 2 man show in Florida and UGA.
