But it's really not. Using your two time frames the West won the conference 61% of the time pre expansion vs 73% of the time in the past 15 years. Significant gap.

And I think we can all agree modern Florida is a lot better than what they were pre expansion and I see no reason that doesn't continue.

Significant gap? I see the West dominating both time periods from those stats, which is my entire point! The Western half of the SEC footprint has ALWAYS been stronger than the East. It was prior to expansion in 1992, and its been that way under divisional play as well... especially the past 15 years.

Florida's dominance of the 1990s masked the imbalance for about a decade. But there is no "cycle" about this at all. The West is simply the stronger division. I think if the conference has the ability to even things up, it should do so.
