comparing football talent in Virginia to Missouri. However, probably overly optimistic with respect to championship game appearance frequency and maybe even to tier placement depending how tiers are divided. Being in the SEC East(or West for that matter) is a bear in terms of top tier programs. Depending upon what they do with divisional realignment you could look forward to Alabama, Georgia, Auburn and Florida in the East and for additional good measure throw in Tennessee which makes once every five years a fairly tall order. On the other side Oklahoma, LSU and A&M for starters with Ole Miss, Texas, MSU, and Arkansas(resurgent) is not a cakewalk either. The SEC is a different animal as I believe both Texas and Oklahoma are about to learn. They are more than capable of holding their own in a single week, it is the grind of week after week with limited to no breathers that takes its toll.
