• SEC West teams are 22-0 against teams not in the division and are winning those games by an average margin of 34 points. SEC West teams are a combined 24-2, with the only losses coming against each other. Along with Auburn's victory over Arkansas, Mississippi State upset LSU 34-29 on the road last week.

• The SEC West has a 99.3 rating on a 0-100 scale in ESPN's division power rankings, which is 33 points higher than any other division in college football.

• Each of the SEC West teams rank in the top 20 of ESPN's Football Power Index, which is more teams than the Big 12, Big Ten and ACC have combined. The top three teams in the FPI are from the SEC West: No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Texas A&M and No. 3 Auburn.

• Five SEC West teams (Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Texas A&M) rank in the Top 25 among FBS teams in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Texas A&M is No. 2 in scoring offense (55.3 points per game) and No. 8 in scoring defense (11.8 points). Arkansas is No. 3 in scoring offense (48.8 points), and the Razorbacks and Aggies are on pace to break the SEC scoring record set by Florida (46.6 points) in 1996.

A month into the season, the weight of the SEC seems to have shifted dramatically back to the West. Every SEC East team has already suffered at least one loss, including defending division champion Missouri and preseason favorites Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. SEC East teams are 0-3 against SEC West foes.

"I think these things kind of run in cycles," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "They run in cycles from team to team and they run in cycles from division to division. I just think this happens to be one of those years where it seems like the West has a lot of really good teams. I think our league is just really, really strong from top to bottom. There's a lot of balance, and I just think our side of it seems to be especially strong this year."

Starting this weekend, the SEC West teams will start to cannibalize themselves.

I think this is the biggest statement of the day. If you take the Alabama schedule from here on out, the beating we will take from the SEC West teams will be humongous. Then as it said when they are tore down who knows who steps up from the outside and knocks somebody off because of lack of energy, or injuries, or just a burned out coaching. So much can happen. Excellent post 57, you are dead on. RTR!

The SEC West is brutal. Top to bottom the West is as strong as I can remember. The team that wins the West is my pick to win the National Championship. I think that team will be Alabama.

Me too! RTR!

"Starting this weekend, the SEC West teams will start to cannibalize themselves."

The only game that fits this prediction would be Arky vs A&M.  Indeed, one of them will lose ("ahem, Arky!").

Article should have said, "Starting last weekend, the SEC West teams will started to cannibalizing themselves."

 :dunno:

3 cannibals were eating a hunter. The first one asked "So what do you think?"

The second one responded "Oh man, I'm having a ball!"

The first one then said "Slow down, you're eating too fast".

Lord, forgive me and the Pygmies in New Guinea...........  :-[

:lol: :lol:

Did you hear about the cannibal who passed his brother in the woods?






Lord, forgive me too, and the Pygmies in New Guinea...........

More likely that the SEC-East will cannibalize.

Oh, they already have.   :-[

You two must have had some bad dreams last night, hmmmm. :-\

I sleep late on one morning and ya'll hijack my thread :-[

That'll teach ya.  :lol:

All 7 of the SEC West teams are ranked in the top 20.  Talk about SOS.

SEC West teams play more Top 20 teams from our own division than any other conference team plays on their entire schedule.
