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.

Thats the problem. Strength is relative. Just because it wasn't UF and UGA doesn't mean the East was down. If you all are just trolling, I get that play but if you are arguing from a logical standpoint, well, it just doesn't pass the test.

Im not using transitive property either. Im basing the assessment on the entire body of work as rated nationally.

A perfect example of a "down" year was 2010. The whole division was down. A 9 win team won the East and was the only ranked team in the division. There are other years where the division only had one ranked team.

Folks can ignore facts because of nostalgia and tradition, thats fine, no skin off my nose. Dont expect someone to take that opinion very logically or seriously when the facts fly in the face of that opinion.
