From 1993 to 1998, the SEC East was the king of the Conference as they ran off six straight SEC Championship Game wins. Recently, the balance of power has shifted to the West as Alabama, Auburn and LSU have combined to win five of the last six SEC titles. Last year, Georgia came within yards of beating Alabama and they came into this season (along with Florida and South Carolina) with the belief that this could be the year the balance of power swung back to the East.
Things in the East haven't gone according to plan so far this season. Florida and Georgia both sustained key injuries and with those injuries came unexpected losses as Georgia fell to Missouri and Vanderbilt and Florida also lost to Missouri. South Carolina had owned Georgia recently but lost an early game in Athens and then got shocked by Butch Jones and the Tennessee Volunteers on the road. Missouri grabbed the spotlight and appeared ready to run away with the division but a second half rally by Connor Shaw has put their hold on the division in question.
