The West just got wilder

By Chris Stewart

The SEC West, with the edition of Bobby Petrino at Arkansas, is now officially absurd. Petrino at Arkansas, Nutt at Ole Miss, Croom in Starkville, Tuberville on the Plains, Saban at Alabama, and Miles (for the moment) in Baton Rouge? Are you kidding me? This is crazy.

There are more good coaches in this division, top to bottom, than you will find in any conference in the country except..... well, the SEC East? How about Spurrier, Meyer, Fulmer, Richt, Brooks, and Johnson? Still, I'm not even sure the East is as good as the collection in the West. And not only is the West even better, it just became nastier. You don't think Tommy Tuberville and Bobby Petrino want to beat the crap out of each other? What about Nutt's first showdown with the Hogs? Do you think things are all lovey dovey between Bama and LSU now that Saban and Miles have squared off? That's my point. These rivalries have always been huge between the schools.

But now its personal. This is going to be fun.
