It's closer than usual with Florida in the lead for both men and women. The Gators going 4-8 in football didn't help. This could be a year that Florida doesn't win. Texas A&M and Georgia are putting up a good fight for the trophy:

Florida leads for the baseball and softball championships and is a SEC and national contender in men's outdoor track & field. The men didn't win the indoor SEC championship, but did win the indoor national championship. Women's outdoor track & field is good too, but not SEC and national championship good.
Women's and men's tennis just finished 2nd and 3rd. Women' golf is being played now and men's golf will be played next week.
The article:
Florida — which won conference championships in men’s swimming and volleyball during this academic year — leads the overall standings as well as the men’s and women’s.
But it’s a tight race coming down to the final sports.
The Gators have a score of .714, just ahead of Texas A&M at .689 and Georgia at .650. South Carolina and Tennessee round out the top five.
Still to come, the races of baseball and softball — where Florida currently is in first place — as well as men’s and women’s outdoor track and men’s and women’s golf.
Women’s golf began championship play Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala., while the men start next week in St. Simon’s Island.
UF leads in the men’s sports with A&M second and Mississippi State in third. In the women’s race, Florida is in first followed by Georgia and South Carolina.
The Gators have won the title 11 straight times and 27 times overall. They have swept all three categories 16 times, something that has not been done by any other conference school.
Points are awarded based on the number of competing teams in a sport (e.g. — 14 teams compete in SEC baseball, giving the winner 14 points, second gets 13, etc. Four teams compete in equestrian, awarding four points to the winner).
A program’s points total is divided by the total number of teams competing in the sports the school fields and that quotient ranks the teams in the final Gate House Media Group standings.
The sports of cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field are combined.
