The West is really LSU and Bama at this point.

Auburn has great years here and there, but I just don’t buy what that coach is selling, and Bo Nix ain’t it.

The East is a tossup between Florida and Georgia, but Georgia should be dominating it every year with the talent they have.

Honestly, basketball seems to be rounding out nicely with Bama and Arkansas on the rise.

I could see Kentucky, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, and Bama putting it together for an SEC title at any given year at this point.

I attribute that to the culture at LSU and Coach Os inexperience with that kind of success.

That was bound to happen.

Individual over team and lack of discipline and accountability

Yes. As is baseball, and every other sport. Alabama has broken college football.

No, it's not. It's just Alabama. Last 10 years have shown Auburn is at least as capable of being a monkey in the wrench.

It's a fair shot. Miles built a program around the idea that you only need 3 years at LSU to make money. Orgeron is trying something different, but his 2018 class was horrible and we might just be recovering from it this year.

Yes, if you look at the 247 Sports team talent composite, LSU's roster last season was closer to Mississippi State than Alabama in terms of talent.

Couple in a terrible coaching hire at DC and inexperience across the board, it was always going to be a bad year. O absolutely bombed the 2018 class for whatever reason.

Attrition. Maybe a third of that class was out of the program by the 2019 season.

I can't remember exactly but it wasn't even a very highly rated class in the beginning either was it?

I think it was still a top 15 class.

It gave us Joe Burrow, but it also gave us about a dozen players who probably never took a snap in a live game.

This alone should get you disqualified from talking about SEC football.
