re: Why is the SEC west so much better than the SEC east at football?

You do realize that of the teams you just listed only Alabama is consistently ahead or even tied with Florida in recruiting right?

According to 247sports Composite Ranking (since 2000: when they actually have rankings for players/teams) it is as follows:

Florida
Avg Class Rank = 8.2
Highest = 1 (3 times)
Lowest = 48

LSU
Avg Class Rank = 9.2
Highest = 1 (1 time)
Lowest = 21

Bama
Avg Class Rank = 13.6
Highest = 1 (4 times)
Lowest = 41

Bama's would obviously be much higher if not for a certain down period/probation. But I would say your assertion that LSU's recruiting is not on par with Florida or Bama is incorrect.
