Which Division Is Better?

After reviewing the Big XII and SEC, which division is stronger?

SEC East: Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky
Big XII South: Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Baylor, Oklahoma State

If South Carolina keeps improving under Steve Spurrier, the SEC East will have a slight edge. That is, unless Dennis Franchione gets the Aggies where the Aggies think they deserve to be. A&M drags the Big XII South down in this comparison, but Tennessee is starting to give them a run for their money. For whatever it's worth, Tennessee beat A&M like a rented mule at the Cotton Bowl two years ago.

At the bottom, Baylor and OSU are improving, as is Vanderbilt. Vandy loses their first round NFL draft pick at quarterback, though, and will have to rebuild (is there such thing as rebuilding at Vanderbilt?). Kentucky is just plain bad.

It's a tough call. OU and Texas have been in 4 of the last 6 BCS national championship games. That counts for a lot. Also, the improvement of Baylor makes up for the relative disappointment of A&M.

Coming up: We go out west for the Pac 10 and Mountain West.
