The Alabama Crimson Tide stand with just one more obstacle in their way of an SEC championship and playoff berth—the Florida Gators.
The matchup is indicative of the current state of the SEC. It's a conference that still houses plenty of high-quality teams but two unbalanced divisions.
As Bill Connelly of Football Outsiders noted, the SEC West is miles ahead of the SEC East in terms of metrics like the S&P+.
S&P+ averages by division SEC-W +14.4 ACC-A +9.5 B1G-E +8.9 B1G-W +6.3 P12-N +5.8 P12-S +4.8 ACC-C +4.4 SEC-E +2.8 AAC-W -0.7

The Gators should be excited about the spot they've earned in this game.
