But it doesn't change the fact that the SEC East was rated SLIGHTLY better than the Big 12 and was in, at worst, a dead heat with the Big 12 for the 4th spot. In a year in which a school that's won more national titles than the Big 12 in the past decade, by itself, was significantly worse than normal.
Hell, Tennessee had as many titles in the BCS era (past 16 years) as any Big 12 representative.
When Rusty wants to talk about how weak the SEC East is, that's pretty relevant information.

Big 12 was dragged down by Kansas, who subtracted 2.5 points off every team's rating. I suppose Kentucky does that every year and certainly Tennessee and Florida were a shadow of their former selves last year as well.
