Stanford has played 
Oregon
Washington
USC
UCLA
Arizona State
Notre Dame 
which IMO is tougher than Virginia Tech, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, LSU, and Auburn. Also, I would put a team like Oregon State on par with Ole Miss and Stanford had to beat Oregon State on the road which is a tough place to win at.

I agree the SEC championship game is built in, but as you say by Alabama having Tennessee built in each year and Tennessee sucking Alabama has had an advantage in getting to the SEC Championship game. Last season Texas A&M opened the season at home against Florida and lost by 3 points in Johnny Manziel's first game if A&M didn't play Florida which ended up 11-1 in the regular season and played another SEC East team at home then A&M would have been in the SEC title game over Alabama since they beat the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa and we have a different NC champion last year. All this matters because Alabama has benefited from not playing South Carolina, Georgia, Florida in the regular season but 1 time in the last 3 season total and that one game was against a 6-6 Florida in Gainesville in 2011.
