Does anyone play defense in the SEC? They sure do. I've watched a few Georgia games this year -- and strange as this may sound, I've never seen a better team (college or NFL) that consistently tackles as well as the Bulldogs do. I've seen more missed tackles in three possessions of a typical NFL game than I've seen in 17 quarters of Georgia games this year.

"Does anyone play defense in the SEC?"
There are 117 Division 1-A football programs. The average ranking of the SEC team in Total Defense is 31.83. The next best conference is the ACC with an average team ranking of 33.75. The Big-XII is next with an average team ranking of 43.75. The Big-10 team average is 74.73, and the PAC -10 team average is 82.30. Based on the average team rating the SEC plays better defense than any other conference.
The SEC has four teams ranked in the Top-10 for Total Defense statistics, and ten of the members are in the Top-40 teams.
I guess the answer to your question is yes.

You're kidding, right?
The SEC is known for its defensive speed. Charlie Weis called Tennessee's defense the best that he'd seen this year. Yes, the Tennessee team that is 4-6 right now.i
