You arn't considered 'down' if it is your normal place in the east.
Georgia and Tennessee haven't always won the East. Maybe they are in their "normal place".
Things do change in college football, you know this right?
30 years ago Oregon wasn't doing shite on the national level. They played for a National Title this year.

Things don't really change in Bama and Looziana

Before I make this statement, I just want to get this out of the way and say that I like South Carolina (as a state and football program).
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'll say this: South Carolina will NEVER consistently compete for SEC championships with historical powers such as Georgia and Tennessee in the same division. Yes, Florida's success has been more recent than the two aforementioned programs, but there is no way Florida doesn't end up back on top sometime soon with the vast amount of resources at their disposal.
There, that's my $0.02

Tennessee is the second most tradtiion rich school in the SEC. I think 75 years is enough of a sample to say they won't remain where they are.
Georgia will always have talent. They just need fire from their coaching staff again.
Florida has been Florida since the mid-80s. With their talent base, they're not going anywhere. Most of Saban's former assistants have done well. I suspect Muschamp will too.
And as for the SEC East as a whole, until last year, no one but UT, UF, or UGa had won the division. Until USCe does it again, it's going to be considered a lucky year for them to have won it. You don't build a legacy in one season.

Oregon didn't have a bazillion dollars from Phil Knight 30 years ago
The Florida schools have won 10 of the last 30 championships in college football (miami 5, florida 3, fsu 2) because of their in state advantages providing opportunity for superior coaches/recruiters
Those are program advantages creating opportunity.
USC is probably the little brother program of South Carolina and competes against UGA and Florida programs with better in house recruiting... you guys should be better than KY and Vandy year in and year out... but worse than at least Florida and UGA 4 years out of 5 IMO
