re: Is the West really THAT much better than the East?

I'm not even a fan of the SEC. This is my observation, and for the past couple of years the SEC West has won the SECCG. Imagine Mizzou playing in the SEC West. I'll give you Tamu, because of last year's result, but I just don't see you guys beating Bama, Auburn, LSU when those games are all pretty close to each other.
