Florida and Tennessee battling for SEC supremacy defined the conference shortly after it split in 1992. After Alabama won the inaugural SEC Championship Game, the Gators and Vols spearheaded the East Division’s stranglehold on the league by combining to win the next six straight SEC titles.

Those memories from the early 1990s are starting to get about as grainy as the footage looks.

Now, the West has won six straight conference titles of its own, tied with the East’s streak from 1993-98 as the longest stretches of dominance by either division since the split.

But the East’s inferiority right now is hard to fathom.

Over the last seven years — which includes the West’s recent reign and this season — the West boasts a 79-35 record over the East, a win percentage of nearly .700 (.693). Meanwhile, the East is 6-21 in cross-division play over the last two seasons and 2-11 this season (Florida’s 38-10 win over Ole Miss and Georgia’s 20-13 win over Auburn).

Seeing a division lag so far behind another has been seen recently. The Big 12 North had gone without a conference championship for a seven-year stretch from 2004-10 before the Big 12 did away with divisions entirely in 2011.

However, the East isn’t just lagging behind. It’s not even in the race.

In the six SEC title games, the West winners have won by an average margin of 23.3 points per game. The East representatives lost every game by at least 17 points with the exception of Georgia’s 32-28 loss to Alabama in 2012.

And the West wasn’t nearly as down during the East’s heyday.

During the East’s excellence, only three West teams finished with fewer than two conference wins: 1992 LSU, 1995 Mississippi State and 1998 Auburn, who were all 1-7 in SEC play.

During the West’s rise to power, there have been seven East teams with fewer than two conference wins, at least one each season: 2009 Vanderbilt (0-8), 2010 Vanderbilt (1-7), 2011 Tennessee (1-7), 2012 Kentucky (0-8), 2012 Tennessee (1-7), 2013 Kentucky (0-8) and 2014 Vanderbilt (0-8).

This season, the East will add one more (South Carolina, 1-7) and possibly two more (Missouri, 1-7) to that list. If Mizzou doesn’t win this week against Arkansas, that will mean five of the seven schools in the East will have taken their turn at joining this dubious category.

And if Kentucky doesn’t join Missouri in the win column by beating Louisville, the East may see the majority of its teams miss out on the postseason. Meanwhile, every member of the West will go bowling for a second straight season.

You can attribute it to bigger-picture problems as well such as recruiting or facilities, but the ongoing failures of the East’s programs are only digging it a deeper hole that’s making it hard to overcome the poor on-field results.

One of the most glaring problems for the East this season can be seen on offense as the six worst teams in the SEC in terms of scoring offense all hail from that division. The only exception is Tennessee, which ranks 5th with an average of 32.6 points per game.

Meanwhile, Missouri (14.5) and Vanderbilt (14.0) make up two of the three worst offenses in the entire FBS.

Whatever the case may be, the East and West may be in the same conference, but they’re leagues apart.
