when looking for similarities between this year and past years 2011 is the first I looked at. That must be the most lopsided year between the divisions I've ever seen.

Even after our regular season, if we had lost to Arky we would've been in a 3-way tie breaker situation (that Bama would've won based on national ranking). Part of that, if I'm remembering correctly, was that us, Arky, and Bama all won their cross divisional games.

I'm going to concede the point to you however after thinking about it. Even if "parity" is the best term, that means some of those games won were easier than normal. Arky for example.

At the same time I am going to give CEO credit for having the team getting better through the year and not fading, to a degree, post-Bama.
