SEC West vs SEC East

Not enough room on the subject title to say what I wanted to say, so here it is, I think that the SEC West will be more competitively tough in 2015 than it was in 2014 and the SEC East will be weaker as a whole but stronger at the top.
With Arkansas improving and becoming a better team, there should be fewer blowout games and more upsets, such as a win by Arkansas over Alabama or Auburn.
I'm not going to go down the road that ESPN does for ratings hype saying it will be the best thing ever since football was invented, just that I feel it will be competitive.
Alabama enters the season without being as dominant as they have in the past and could be vulnerable to getting upset.
Arkansas returns 4 guys on their OL, their running backs, and the QB and have some good TE's. They are going to be tough IF their OL stays healthy since they lack quality depth on the OL.
Auburn SHOULD be improved on defense since they should play with more aggression and not let A&M lineup and throw the ball all over the field for easy touchdowns.
Miss. State could be in for a rough season since the bottom end of the conference should be more competitive with the top, creating a competitively balanced division.
The SEC East should be strong IF TN's head coach can coach up his players. If he can't win a ton of games while recruiting over 40 4-star players the last couple of years, then he should be fired.
Georgia is going to have a solid rushing attack and will not have any issue running over teams in the SEC East.
Florida is a big mess right now and it will take time to get that disaster fixed, IF McElwain can get the job done.
KY lacks the athletes on defense to be good enough to take down the top end of the conference.
Vandy is Vandy.
Missouri will do fine and make a bowl game, but they enter this season with bigger questions than last season and improved talent at TN and a tough Georgia team could send them to a 3rd place finish in the SEC East.

How can East be stronger at the top when they will lose the SEC Championship game again?

Which SEC East team will be better than Bama? Please don't say UGA or Mizzou.

The SEC West may be the most competitive division, top to bottom, ever. 2010 SEC West holds that title right now.

Because TN should be a more complete team and not getting beat by teams that historically are not that good.
Georgia was the best team in the SEC East (according to the committee rankings) and I agree with them. They should be a better team IF their QB play isn't a disaster.
That should lead to a more competitive, top heavy SEC East.
There are major holes with the rest of the SEC East teams, more holes than entering the 2014 season.

I think he means stronger at the top compared to the east last year, not as measured against the west.

AH okay. I thought the op meant stronger at the top compared to the West.
I do agree the top SEC East teams will be better than they were last year.

I see what you're saying now. Disregard my previous question about the East.

I like Arkansas a lot for this coming season. Solid group of OL but lack quality depth. They need to get more depth developed. Their TE's are solid. Their QB play can leave you wanting more though. He needs to play better than last season for Arkansas to have any shot at winning the SEC West.
On defense they should be about the same as last year.
Arkansas is my sleeper to win the SEC West.

OP, you failed to mention the sleeper of the bunch in the SEC West....

East, Compared to last season
Missouri-about the same overall
Georgia-about the same overall, might be a tad better
Tenn-Better
Florida-Likely worse, especially with OL questions
SC-I say the same, maybe worse, depends on QB
Kentucky-Better
Vandy-Have to get better, right?
2 sames, 2 betters, 2 same-worse, 1 vandy
Missouri-about the same overall
Georgia-about the same overall, might be a tad better
Tenn-Better
Florida-Likely worse, especially with OL questions

Kentucky-Better

Nah not at all. I'm really scared of injuries.

Still think SC will be the most improved team in the SEC this year.

Behind our mammoth starters, 4/5 of the second stringers are freshmen or redshirt freshmen. Only upperclassman is Danenhauer as a senior at guard. That doesn't scare you at all...?
I feel like an injury or two could be potentially devastating to our line if freshman are filling in all the holes. These freshman have all of the potential in the world, but I'd at least like them to have another year or two under their belts before they start facing some of the stacked D lines on our schedule.

We have more Oline depth than we have had in a very long time. We could lose 1-2 guys without a huge drop off. Any team that loses 3 starters on the o-line would be frick lol:

LSU? I need to see your QB's being able to complete 10 yard out passes on a consistent basis first. LSU has all of the talent needed on the rest of the roster.
