Here's an indication of excellent season (stats)

Using Points Scored vs. Points allowed seems to be one of the easiest ways to assess a team.

Since 2002
In the 5 years we averaged winning by 15 points or more we've at least PLAYED for a SEC championship 80 percent of the time.

conversely...

In the 8 years we averaged winning by less than 15 points we played for the championship ZERO percent of the time.

Our current point advantage is +15.8 that puts us at a high ceiling 11-2 team.

Here's teams since 2002 with their scoring advantage and wins/losses.
Grouped by 10 or less, 10-14.9, 15-19.9, 20+
You can see an obvious trend.

2002 +6.5 8-5
2008 +6.7 8-5
2009 +8.6 9-4
2014 +10.1 8-5

2004 +11.6 9-3
2010 +11.5 11-2
2012 +12.3 10-3
2013 +13.8 10-3

2005 +15.3 11-2
2007 +18.7 12-2
2015 +15.8 5-0

2003 +22.9 13-1
2006 +21.1 11-2
2011 +24.4 13-1

If we can beat Florida, and A&M beats Bama there is an excellent chance that we win the west and play for more than we have played for in awhile.
I understand that the win differential may drop with our upcoming stretch, but I can realistically see this team beating A&M, Arkansas, and WKU by more than 15. Florida, Bama, and Ole Miss less than 15... Keeping our average around the same.
