McElwain doesn't need elite talent to win the East, he has proven that 2 straight years

I kinda disagree with this overall point, although of course the black and white facts are accurate.

UF did win the east this year but look at their competition:

-UGA with a first time ever H
-SC with a new head coach, and muschamp at that
-UT with butch jones
-Missouri is in shambles from what they were just 2 years ago
-UK and VU, although certainly improved, are still UK and VU.

UF just happened to the tallest midget this year. While Mcelwain did what needed to be done to win the east, it's almost certain it won't be gift wrapped like it was this year. Missouri is going to continue to flounder for a while, but UK and VU are at least semi-respectable now unlike their old selves, UGA is reloading, SC's recruiting and defense should improve and they have a fantastic QB, and who knows what UT will do.
