Yea, it's only been 10 games. Even for perfectly random coin tosses, the chance that you get the same result 9 times as the result of the first toss is 1 in 2^9 = 512. With lots of potential team pairings, and the obvious fact that teams can be above/below average over 4+ years (correlating the outcomes), this isn't that crazy.

- maxerickson 10y agoThere's only 496 pairings with 32 teams. The number of pairings between teams that play infrequently will be quite a bit smaller.
