The SEC West: 5 out of 6 teams in top 20 and 3 in the top 10

I don’t think any sane person can argue that the SEC West is not easily the best division (top to bottom) in college football.  

Going into November they have 5 out of 6 teams ranked in the top 20 and 3 out of 6 teams ranked in the top 10.

So my question is: has it ever happened before where a 6 team division in college football had at least 5 teams ranked in the top 20 and at least 3 teams in the top 10 going into November?

that is very impressive to say the least

certainly the best division in college football

and to answer your question in regards to it happening before, I'm going to reach and say "no"

and people question why the SEC is regarded as the dominant conference in recent years and why the get so much attention. Proof positive all the hype and talk about the SEC is very deserving.

Just go ahead and say the SEC west is the best division in college football history. 

Jesus christ.  We get it, SEC homers.

The media beats it to death every day.  No need to keep posting it on internet forums.

Auburn/Bama/Arkansas  ok..

LSU will still end with 3 Reg Season losses.. and would have gotten smoked by UNC if the Heels actually had their starters on the field
Miss State- c'mon.. I can name 40 schools better that this one..
Ole Miss- where's the heat that Rebels lost to D-2 school, yet VT still can't hide from it..

No team in the East should be ranked and it wouldn't surprise me to see only Auburn and Bama and maybe Arkansas to be the only teams in the top 20 by the end of the year..

 

and thats why you are just some nobody on covers with an opinion and not making the calls. apparently there are only 20 teams better than miss st according to what people who know what they are talking about are saying. Ole miss is not very good this year, but you are focusing on the bottom of the barrel, not the reason this topic was created. 5 top 20 teams from one 6 team division are in the top 20 isnt a fluke.

The Big12 south had 4 teams in the top ten a couple of years ago with OU, Texas, Texas Tech, and OkState.   Guess what happened?   They all beat each other up.   The SEC west is pretty good, but this isn't the first time a division was solid like that.  We did in in '08.   

Pac 10 isn't too far behind this year, if at all.

Ole Miss is pretty good for a bottom feeder. I would gladly take them at even money on a neutral field against any other team in the country that will finish last in their division or conference.

Yeah. They've just dominated college football for the past decade.

The pac 10 doesnt have divisions.

Why in the world would you schedule a tough out of conference game if you play in the SEC?

All you have really done in this thread with regards to the origninal post is that LSU lost to Auburn so they arent good and Arkansas lost to Auburn and Alabama so they arent good. Although this is an amazing argument and shows the depth of your thinking how about you tell us what division in football is better.

No, you didn't.
