The SEC has always been a grind. It's an even bigger grind this season. The difference between the best and worst in the league might be a smaller margin than it's ever been, and it feels much more like the NFL week-by-week right now. That means that any win - no matter the margin - is a quality win.
How competitive is the SEC this year?
NFL margin of victory: 10.8 points a game.
SEC margin of victory: 10.7 points a game.
