re: How did the 12 SEC teams agree on these East & West permanent rivals for over a decade?

Oh shut the frick up.

Hell, UK had mike leach as OC and Tim Couch at QB in 1998. I’d say they were hardly scrubs and they beat us anyway and we still won the west.

SEC football in the 90’s was a lot different than what we’ve seen the last 15 years. A hell of a lot more parity back then.

I’ll give you that the 1998 team was probably one of the worst to ever win the west but no one else did shite that year either. Our 99 team was way better than 98 and they didn’t win the west.

It's great, that UK had a pulse that year, but Arkansas had to play Tennessee during the regular season and they were ranked #1.

State was extremely lucky to play Arkansas the following week after their heartbreaking loss to Tennessee. You guys beat Arkansas at home by one point.
