Countdown to Football: 59 Days -- Did SEC West send Urban Meyer packing?

By Staff Writers
Why did Urban Meyer leave Florida? Maybe it was the SEC West.
   
If Will Muschamp, Meyer's successor as the Gators coach, wants to get Florida back to the top of the SEC, he could start by curing its October swoon, a daunting proposition in 2011, when the Gators visit LSU and Auburn and host Alabama in their three-game Western swing for this season.
   
Meyer lost 15 games in his six seasons at Florida. Ten came against SEC West opponents.
   
But the SEC West isn't just a personal bugaboo; it's been a problem for the Gators since the SEC split into divisions in 1992. Since then, Florida has an 85-10 record against its Eastern rivals, compared to a 36-21 mark against the West.
