Wow, good stuff Mav! If you to factor in the recruiting rankings where the East far out recruits the West it is closer than it should be. The number one issue since the East West split is how the East has always won the CCG. If OSU is in the CCG again, they will roll whoever they play. But I think Minnesota can give them a run for their money. 

In my opinion, the East is more top heavy whereas the West is more balanced. So people claim the East is so much better because they have a few elite teams compared to the West that has a lot more balance among them. 

 
The halo effect of one really good team making the rest of the East look stronger than they are. In the Big Ten, it's one division, in the SEC, it's the entire freaking conference.

Ohio State has dominated the con so whatever division has them is going to dominate the con. After Ohio State it's pretty even. The East-West divisions are fine.
