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.

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.

People can think whatever they want but I posted the list of number of ranked teams per years since the divisions started in 1992.

2013 was in the top 1/4 as far a strenght. In fact, it was the first time in over 10 years and only the 4th time total the East had two teams in the top 5 nationally.

If folks are gonna say that 2013 was down they are gonna be sad when over 3/4's of the years the SEC east was in existence it was "down".
