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.

Yea, who knows. I think they could get back but things are different for them now with a lot more teams able to recruit in the areas they traditionally recruit. Coaching has been a huge problem for them though and a good hire could get them back in the hunt. National caliber teams year in a year out, yea, thats unlikely.

I was originally just going to include UGA and UF, but decided to include UT as well. I think people just used the eye test and thought the east didn't play as great of football last year. It's hard to blame them though. Every single SEC East starting quarterback missed at least one game last year I think. When all of the teams are injury ravaged, especially UF and UGA, people aren't going to think it is as good of a league as it normally is. It shouldn't take away from Mizzou's SEC East title though. They did what they needed to in every situation to win that title.
