Can you think of a previous season where the SEC West had this much parity between all the teams in the division?
In 2010, everyone but Ole Miss finished with at least 9 wins. In 2011, we had 3 teams finish in the top-5. But from top-to-bottom, this does look like the strongest the SEC-W has ever been.
I still find the 2010 standings incredible:
Auburn 14-0
LSU 11-2
Arkansas 10-3
Alabama 10-3
MSU 9-4
Ole Miss 4-8

Ole Miss 4-8
Post season confirmed, with Arky's loss to a 12-1 Big 10 champ OSU by just 5 being the only loss, that the teams weren't just strong by virtue of their schedule. AU won the title, and the other three wins were by a combined 97 points (average margin of victory over 32 points).
That's insane.

That's a pretty incredible season. I guess that'll be the measuring stick. Hopefully, we replicate those exact results this year (plus 1 W for Auburn). I could live with 15-0.
