re: The SEC East was not Down Last Year.......

Why some of your comments taking away form Mizzou, South Carolina, Georgia, and hell even Vandy's success are completely ridiculous:

---

UGA fans don't consider last season successful in the slightest.

quote:

---

Mizzou beat a Georgia team on their field that came close to knocking off Clemson, beat South Carolina handily, knocked off LSU(frickers) and came within a miracle away from beating Auburn, who won the SEC.

---

A top 3 player in the SEC and/or his back up played in all 3 of those games. Our #2 and #3 receiver played in two out of the 3. None of those guys played against Mizzou.

quote:

---

Mizzou beat Texas A&M, by the same margin that Alabama beat A&M by.

---

On the home vs. in an amped up Kyle field (impressive win nonetheless)

quote:

---

Ole Miss, a team that Mizzou beat on their field, beat the LSU team that is discounting everything that anything the East did

---

Good point.

quote:

---

South Carolina beat UCF on their field, Florida came close to beating LSU as well

---

SEC teams should never celebrate beating UCF. Coming close to beating someone doesn't count. And it wasn't that close.

quote:

---

South Carolina and Mizzou finished in the Top 5. First time that the SEC East has ever had that happen. The SEC East had tied for the most teams in the Top 25 in its existence

---

Very impressive. But neither team had to play Bama, LSU or Auburn until the SECCG and we know how that turned out.

quote:

---

Even though Florida had a rough season, they played every team close. SC, Georgia, LSU, and so on. That Georgia Southern loss was just a result when a team has several close losses to big teams in a row.

---

4-8. That's atrocious regardless of anything else.

quote:

---

South Carolina was able to dismantle Clemson, Mizzou was able to beat Oklahoma State, Vandy was able to give SC as much as they could. Ole Miss was able to destroy Texas which in return got beat by Mizzou handily on their own field.

---

Clemson wasn't good. They got murdered by FSU. OK State lost to WVU who was terrible. Vandy was up last year no doubt. Got smoked by A&M though. Don't understand point about Texas.

quote:

---

Mizzou and South Carolina would have finished 2nd in the SEC West. Only team that could reign supreme is Auburn. It was their year. Even Auburn could barely beat SEC East opponents. Needing a miracle against Georgia and being down in the 4th quarter to Mizzou.

---

Mizzou and South Carolina would have finished 3rd in the west at best. Bama and Auburn were both better.

quote:

---

Point is, you all are full on stupid to discount the season that the East had last year. LSU would have finished 4th at best in the SEC East. FACT. Ole Miss would have fought off Vandy for the 5th spot. FACT. Alabama would have had to fought SC, Mizzou, and Georgia off. FACT. You could make the statement that Georgia played Auburn better than ALABAMA.

---

East wasn't good. Lost so many starting quarterbacks throughout the season. If it would have happened in the west people would have said the West was down. Most of your points here are valid. But Georgia did not play Auburn better than Bama. Bama was winning the whole time and lost because their special teams and decision making were poor. UGA was getting trounced almost the entire game before we made up a ton of ground in the final quarter. I think you could argue we were closer to beating Auburn, but I don't think there is any question that Bama played them better.

Hope I helped explain why the East was down Rambo so we don't have to see you complain about it. Mizzou was a great football team last year and deserved to win the west, but any time the combined records of UF, UGA, and UT are 17-20, it is probably a down year.
