last year the SEC East went 2-12 against the West.

So far this year they are 0-2 against the West (Ole Miss over Georgia, MSU over Kentucky)

This weekend's inter-league match-ups:

Mizzou/LSU

Alabama/Kentucky

Texas A&M/South Carolina

They're staring 0-5 in the face.

Wouldn't be shocked if Mizzou beat a down LSU team with a new HC.

Even if they still had Les, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost to Mizzou.

Mizzou looked decent against Georgia, I can see them winning this game with LSU.

If LSU loses at HOmE to Missouri it will be pretty funny, but that Georgia game no longer looks that impressive.

And if the Aggies keep reading the newspaper instead of watching film we may get trapped on the Road!

Keep reading the newspaper?

It is very possible that 2 teams in the west don't become bowl eligible this year.

Ole Miss is on borrowed time, the NCAA is going to bring them back to reality soon enough.

The pendulum is slowly swinging back to the middle...JMO.

Tenn. at Kyle will be tough next weekend. Of course we should be focused on this weekend.

I think the east is as bad as it's ever been right now....

Tenn & Florida is all that's there....

Georgia has talent, but they're at least a year away

The other 4 are hot garbage

Gators over LSU will be their only win.

Florida at home over L$U
Florida could win @ Arkie
UGA could beat Barn at home
Tenn could have a good day against us

The east has always been about UF/UGA/UT and in the west Bama/AU/LSU.

Adding A&M and Mizzou has made the west inherently stronger because A&M will be better than Mizzou over the long haul. So I'll give you that, but there is only so much room at the top because there will always be winners and losers.

The recent strength of the west has been as much about the weakness of the east as it has anything else. The top of the east has been weak in recent years but that isn't going to last forever. Now LSU is looking for a new coach, Auburn isn't far behind. Ole Miss may be looking for one soon as well. The dynamics at the top of west are changing.

I guess my whole point is, the relative strength of the divisions will always be some function of how good the teams are at the top. That is changing, so like I said, IMO the pendulum is slowly swinging back to the middle.

What stinks for Tennessee is that they are most likely the best team in the east, and they have to play the two best teams from the West. I'm assuming Tennessee will be underdogs to both Alabama and A&M...

So if they win both games no one will question their SOS!

I just looked at the schedules trying to figure out when it will happen. We're at the halfway point and the East now stands at 0-7 against the West. Tennessee going 0'fer was huge. Here's how I'd rank the East's best chances to get a win from here on out:

FL @ Arky - NOV 5
FL @ LSU - NOV 19
Miss St @ UK - OCT 22
Aub @ Ga - NOV 12
Arky @ Mizzou - NOV 25
Vandy @ Aub - NOV 5
Ole miss @ Vandy - NOV 12

The West matches up pretty nicely from here on out. Chances we pull off the sweep?

Chances are better than 50/50. Man I'm not seeing any east team beating Auburn.

Florida/LSU and Mississippi St/Kentucky are their best chances.

Hard to imagine any of the remaining matchups where the East team is favored.

Kentucky vs. State will probably be an East win.

and/or UF will win one of their crossover games

Kentucky over Miss St is the only decent chance imo.
