re: Is everyone taking the wrong message from UK/UF?

Every team in the SEC is susceptible to having a 4-8 type season because of the toughness of this conference top to bottom. Last year, the East had six teams capable of beating almost anyone on a given Saturday. The Gators had a tough injury-riddled season so it's hard to judge them on that display. Then, UGA felt the injury sting in the second half of the season. Let's not forget that the severely depleted Dogs should have beaten the SEC champs last year.

This year, some team in the West is going to look really bad by the end of the season by the mere fact that someone has to be on the losing end of these games. I have never seen the level of parity as we have in the West this year from 1 to 7.
