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.

in fairness, college football didn't go to a 12 game regular season until the 2006 season, 14 years after divisional play began.

Prior to 2008 UT had been consistently good. A random bad season cannot be described as "doldrums" the only thing that would match that description is 2008 to 2014. 7 seasons or less than 1/3
