For that matter, in UT's case, the East was much tougher when Holtz turned it around for SCAR in 1999. Was Holtz that magical?
That's definitely debatable. You had Florida finish #10 and then a bunch of 8-4 teams tied for second back in 2000.
Last year you had two 11+ win teams that both finished in the top 5 as your top two teams.
Also only one SEC team lost less than four games in 2000 while 5 teams did it last year.

You can credit it to that ... or, you can credit it to the fact that Holtz recruited three Mr Footballs in their states when he first arrived, Ryan Brewer (Ohio), Andrew Pinnock (Connecticut) and Derek Watson (South Carolina) ... Watson had offers from everybody.
Along with that he recruited some defensive and offensive linemen and some WRs and coached'em-up.
We already had the DBs and a few LBs in place who took their licks in 99.
We beat a loaded UGA team early ... confidence built, and he coached'em-up for the turnaround.
UT's problem has not been totally about talent, neither has Arkansas'.
