It's not "so much better"

It is a product of better coaching, better facilities, better players, what? Maybe a combination of all three?


right now? players really.. that may reflect on the coach's (as a team) ability to identify and recruit key needs. but if I had to make cumulative scores for the east and west head coaches, they wouldn't be much different from each other.
Facilities.. mehh.

Football is inches and momentum anyhow. so.. in the future.
Eventually.. The east teams will get better assistant coaches and recruiters, and then the recruits, and Georgia, Florida, USC, and Tennesee(at some point) will be more than able to compete(not that they don't already) with Auburn, Bama, LSU, and A&M.

Nebraska, USC, and Michigan called.. they said.. it's some phenomenon called a "cycle??"

I'll say the main reason overall is better coaching in the West. Saban can be attributed for the the success of both LSU and Bama and the of course Malzahn at Auburn(even as OC) Plus, Cam went and stole a lap top. That probably definitely gives UF another East title, probably two under Urban since Cam would have been playing two years without the transfer. I also believe one SEC team getting a great coach may have actually helped weaken the East. Spurrier coming to South Carolina was good enough to take us from being a scrub to at least stealing several wins a year from the big three. Several big time players would have ended up at probably UGA or UT had Spurrier not arrived.
