On the surface that seems true. There is a big difference, however. Bama played UK right before a three game ranked opponent stretch. Kiffen established and knew damn well that Bama's o-line could beat UK in the run game. Kiffen chose to work on the passing game. The Bama running backs were gashing the UK defense. Since UK couldn't get anything done against Bama's defense, Saban and Kiffen decided the best thing to do was work on the passing game before the tough stretch of the season. In both games Bama could have scored more than they did. Therefore, Bama using second halfs to practice for their next opponent is an awful way to determine which team is better. It would be better if they were close games and the starters and regular subs had played the whole game. Not trying to be disrespectful to UK, but Bama used them as practice for over a half.

Anything is possible in the East. No one is very good and the best of them, UF, has the toughest schedule.

Come on dude. Low blow from you. Picking on UK football? Do you also steal snacks from toddlers' fingers at the supermarket while their mom is getting food from a shelf?

This is an excellent point, IMHO, and why I think Saban is such a successful HC.

I also believe that Kiffen has learned a lot about coaching from being where he is, and has the potential to wreck shite in his next HC gig, no matter where it is.

Kentucky won't win the SEC East. I think they'll beat Miss. State, Mizzou and Austin Peay to finish 6-6 and try to get a Birmingham Bowl or some other consolation prize.

Hopefully that's the result. Anything more would be a surprise at this point.

But if they won the East, I could give a frick if the East is the worst division in Power 5 college football. Some of y'all motherfrickers been snagging a division win over some terrible arse Kentucky teams over the years. I wouldn't even be mad at the blowout in Atlanta.
