I can agree with this part:
This part is stupid:
A&M has neither beaten LSU nor finished ahead of LSU in the SEC standings since they joined the conference. Arkansas has not had a better record than LSU since 1999.
If you were going to pick two SEC West programs who might pass us up, you would have been better off going with Ole Miss (pending NCAA resolution) and Miss. St. At least both of them have had better seasons, finished ahead of us in the standings, AND beaten us in recent years.

LSU or Auburn? Both programs aren't good nowadays. The last time AU was good was 2013 and the last time LSU was good was 2011.
This part is stupid:

If these two programs keep it up aTm and Arkansas will take yalls spot as 2 and 3 in the west.

Is it because aTm, hail, miss, and arky have won so many SECW Championships since 2011?

Do you even Ole Miss, bro? They were a college football power in the 50s and 60s and haven't done anything since integration.
There are actually 3 teams in the West who have been "down" for a very long period of time relative to their program highs and what was expected at those programs at some point in time.
1. Ole Miss
From 1938-1971, Ole Miss was an SEC Powerhouse. Over the span of 34 years, they won more than 70% of their games. Nationally, only 4 other programs had more wins during this span of time (Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, and Notre Dame).
All total, Ole Miss won 6 SEC Titles and had ten Top 10 finishes.
Since 1972, Ole Miss has zero SEC Titles. Their overall record is just 266-254-4, and they have one lone Top 10 finish (2015).
2. Arkansas
From 1959-1989, the Hogs were one of the nation's strongest programs. They won over 73% of their games during this 31-year period. They tied for 6th nationally in total wins during this span. Even more impressive, they ranked up twelve Top 10 finishes in just 31 seasons.
Since 1990, Arkansas has won just 53.7% of its games. They have just one Top 10 finish (2011).
3. Texas A&M
From 1975-1998, Texas A&M won 69.9% of its games. During this 24-year span, they tied for 9th nationally in total wins. They accumulated six Top 10 finishes in just 24 seasons.
Since 1999, Texas A&M has won just 58% of its games and has just on Top 10 finish (2012).
Without a doubt, these three programs are the West's biggest "has-beens" if you look at where these programs are compared to their program highs.

The correct answer is TAMU, Ole Miss and Arkansas ( in no particular order)
And as an older fan, i can tell you I hate the complacency that we hog fans have these days. The BB contract extension was idiocy.
At least Ole Miss tried to cheat their way to winning and the Aggies are demanding that Sumlin win this year.
We demand nothing
