Is this accurate? I get the SEC is good, but the east is pretty bad this year with UGA and UF being down.


I laugh when people say that. Um Mizzou and South Carolina are in the BCS top 10. I guess UGA and UF have to be in the BCS Top 10 for the East to be good. South Carolina beat 3 teams in the BCS Top 25, Mizzou beat 2 teams in the BCS Top 25.

You'd hardly get 3-4 teams from one division in the BCS Top 10. Ok so UF and UGA are down, now the East have 2 other teams in the BCS Top 10.

Correct. And then consider what their records would be like had Florida and Georgia remained healthy....at least if they had average amounts of injuries. the east would be a VERY tough division.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we would all have a Merry Christmas! Wish we had stayed healthy.

This all day long. USC just beat FSU's signature win for the FIFTH season in a row. And I can tell you, that was, at best, USC's fourth-toughest game all season. Yet, FSU got a ton of mileage out of it.

I understand that the transitive property is folly in college football arguments, but I'm tired of hearing that the East is down when it has fielded two teams in the top-eight of the BCS, and USC has three wins over the BCS top-18 (which no one else in the country can say. USC may have three teams it beat playing in BCS games, for heaven's sake), and Mizzou has two over the top-25.

Just because it's not UGA and UF at the top doesn't mean the best clubs from the East ain't legit.
