re: This season is the worst the SEC has been since 2005

A lot depends on these last few games. If Alabama slips up against one of AU or UF and loses a bowl game along with a few others like last season then, yeah, the division looks fairly poor.

As it is all of these teams have an opportunity for a strong finish. There could potentially be three teams (Alabama plus two of OM/State and LSU/A&M) with 10+ wins including the national champion with all three finishing top 15 in statistical measurements.

Basically I'm just saying it's too early to make a judgment. Bowl season will be a solid indicator.
