We rarely open up the floor quite this fully outside of Topics for Discussion, but we'll do it here and see what happens. The question: What would you say were the top 1 or 5 or 10 stories in the SEC in 2011? You can go as far as you want.

The story has to have happened, continued or be essentially contained within 2011. Anything that happened between Jan. 1, 2011, and now. Any sport. It can be a single game or an overarching theme or an off-the-field news event. It does have to involve something to do with the SEC, natch.

There are some obvious candidates that rhyme with donference dealignment, but don't be afraid to get creative. Maybe your choices will show up on our list, which should start rolling out soon here. Or maybe we're wrong.
