Through six weeks of the college football season, it is hard to find anyone to argue that the SEC West has the absolute best collection of teams in the game this year. Week 6 was all we needed to prove that correct, and Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn believes that the division will be rewarded in a huge way when the regular season is over.

With the College Football Playoff taking over the game this year, many have begun to wonder whether or not two teams from the stacked division could end up getting the nod from the selection committee. Yes, not just one team from the SEC West, but two.

Some laugh at that theory, thinking that’s it’s absurd, but Malzahn is not one of those people.

In an interview on Thursday morning, Malzahn proclaimed that it’s absolutely possible that two teams from the division that his Auburn Tigers play in could make up half of the group vying for the national championship at the beginning of the 2015 calendar year.

“I think there’s going to be good chance there will be two teams from the West, or at least two teams from the SEC, to make the Final Four,” Malzahn said in a radio interview Thursday morning.said in a radio interview Thursday morning.

With the emergence of such programs this year as the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Ole Miss Rebels, it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Plus, there’s no telling how we could end up viewing one-loss teams at the moment such as Texas A&M and Alabama when the season is all said and done.

Things are going to get interesting here in the second half of the college football season, and when it is in the books, the SEC haters may not be happy at all.
