Anyone noticed how close all the SEC games have been this year?

Seems like it is rare for anyone to get a double digit victory regardless of who the matchup is. Even UK has not just beat the hell out of teams for the most part. Virtually every one of our games has come down to the last minute. Is there that much parity in the SEC? I don't remember it ever being this way.

I was looking at this a few weeks back. I want to say you've played 1 game out of 15 that has been decided by more than 10 points in league play. All 14 of ours have been decided by 10 or less.

I don't know if that speaks to parity or the style of play these days. I remember some years when we'd beat a team by 20 at home and then go lose to them by 20 on the road. You haven't seen that very often this year.

I think it speaks more to the parity than anything else. There are some bad teams in the SEC, but even the good teams are flawed, and even the bad teams can play with the best ones on a given night.
