t any time the combined records of UF, UGA, and UT are 17-20, it is probably a down year.
Its literally impossible to have many of you see the truth through the "bias" of the not having UF UGA ir TN have a "good" season.
2010 was a down year. The division winner was only ranked #22. You had traditional top division teams fall down and the other teams not good enough to take advantage.
2013 wasnt down, not by logically looking at the facts with two teams in the top 5, compare that to historical numbers of ranked teams in the east per year, and one team a game away from the national championship game.
The problem,again, is that the strength of the division didnt come from teams folks are used to, that doesnt make that strenght any less a matter of fact.

The traditionalists think the East can't be good if UT is down. I don't know if UT will ever be as good as they were in the 90s again - or ever nationally relevant again for multiple years consecutively. It's unlikely IMO. So, those same traditionalists will continue to trot the narrative out there.

Georgia had the injury bug last season, UF had a tough go at it, and UT was down as usual. I don't really consider USC, Mizzou, and a slightly above average Vandy to be a very strong east. Not saying UGA was bad by any means but I don't think you'll find many of there fans saying they were satisfied with their season either. The East might not have been down but it wasn't exactly up either. If you want to use the transitive property, we beat A&M by a larger margin than Mizzou or Bama but that doesn't mean anything really. Styles make games.
