Not disputing UT's ranking -- they're definitely #2 -- but this is kind of a face-palm statement considering historically there's only been an "SEC East" for about 1/4th of SEC history, and close to half of that has been spent with UT in the doldrums.
You're a Vandy fan, your math should be better.
There have been divisions for 23 years. UT won the east in 2007. How have we been in the doldrums for almost half of that time?

First, I offered an approximation, not a precise mathematical result. Second, did I say the doldrums were all in consecutive years? I count eleven years of 8 wins or less (including a 5-6 season two years prior to 2007) in the SECCG era of 13 possible games a season. That's "close to half" of 23. If you want to argue that 8 wins isn't in the doldrums for the #2 program in the SEC historically, we can discuss. But you really took it a bit too literally.
