I can't believe what we saw this year in the SECW can be sustained long-term. I mean, like the top five teams could all have won some of the other conferences let alone the SEC. It cannot last. Just can't. The SECW has to come down for this peak. Some teams (read: Bama) will stay elite, but the rest will return to mediocrity.

So how and when will the collapse happen? I predict it will happen quickly, like the USSR after Reagan broke their backs. Teams cannot keep paying their assistants HC money. And all the top recruits can't agglomerate in just one division.

I see teams raiding Saban's assistants for more HC jobs. I see Florida's and Tennessee's resurgence spelling more 'L's for the cross division opponents (Sorry Ole Miss and LSU!). I see Muschamp bringing his bad MoJo to Auburn....

Oh, and Miles to Michigan...

What would Florida know about an arms race when every time one of the big2 sport HC jobs is open they have to gamble on an up and comer due to the lack of interest from established HCs?

The same thing was said in 2011 when Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas were 1, 2 and 3 in the BCS. It's been almost 4 years since then...

I think Bama and LSU have caused the west teams to step up their game.

The East needs someone to step up to make the other teams raise their level.

No offense to the east,but there seems to be a more hard nosed,defensive brand of football on the west side,less ATM.And ATM is trying to correct that,Auburn as well.

But the west has been down before so I reckon it will happen again".

Not true.

Top two? I could buy that but top 5? Nope.

Like it happens every year. Alabama has replaced at least two assistants every year since 2007.

Florida resurgence? Playing in the Birmingham Bowl and hiring Biff Tannen as your coach?

So one payday all the SECW assistants' checks are going to bounce? Just like that?

The real question is how long the SECe can maintain its mediocrity. Mizzou has won it twice now. That's just bad. We are laughing though.
