SEC East: The Best of the Best (Erik Scheponik)

While LSU definitely looks like the SEC (perhaps the nation’s) strongest team, the SEC East clearly looks like the stronger of the two divisions.  In heads up play so far this season the conferences are 3-3  SU, but the East has covered 4 of 6, and has the more impressive wins with outright road upsets by  Kentucky over Arkansas, and Georgia over Alabama.  In out-of-conference play the East has also been more impressive with a 7-1 SU, 6-2$ mark vs. Division 1 foes, including an outright dog win with Kentucky over Louisville and no outright upset losses.  The West on the other hand is 7-2 SU, but only 4-5$ with a straight up home favorite loss by Auburn to South Florida.    The East has 5 legit top 25 caliber teams (Tennessee’s probably borderline), while the West has  2, possibly 3(Arkansas is probably in Tennessee’s neighborhood).  The East’s bottom team, Vanderbilt, would also be favored on a neutral field over both Mississippi and Mississippi St.
