These ranking are laughable. Its the basis for the argument as well. Im not really trying to dig on Ole Miss, dont have a problem with them but it goes to the larger issue of over valuing the SEC West. Not trying to be a douche here, Im really not. Its just pretty clear to the "eye" test that intra West wins are overvalued and intra West loses overvalued. Just my opinion. The West has some great teams this year just the whole of the division is literally vastly overrated.

West teams won out of conference games against decent to good teams. East teams did not.

* Arkansas won big @ Texas Tech and hammered Northern Illinois
* LSU beat Wisconsin
* Auburn won @ Kansas State
* Alabama beat West Virginia
* Ole Miss handily beat Boise State and Memphis


In the East :
* Tennessee got blown out by Oklahoma
* Mizzou lost to Indiana and beat UCF
* Georgia hammered Clemson
* South Carolina beat ECU

That's it.


Not to mention ALL the computer rankings say the same thing about the SEC teams. So, maybe all of them are wrong and somehow the SEC West found a formula to rig the system. Or maybe the division is just really solid.
