The SEC has been the best conference in college football the past 5 years no doubt. However, the conference perception is that beating 10th best SEC team is better than beating 4th or 5th B1G, Pac-12, ACC team. The SEC is top heavy like a lot of conferences its just their top heavy is 5 or 6 rather than 1 or 3 teams. LSU and Tennessee are the only SEC teams that plays the top brand in each division each and every year Alabama and Florida. LSU played Georgia and Florida from the SEC East this season, Tennessee played Alabama and Auburn from the SEC West. The reason some of these teams have inflated resumes is because they avoid the top teams in the conference and get an extra 1 or 2 wins which makes a team that would be 9-3 or 8-4 and barely a top 25 team a team that goes 11-1 or 10-2 and is a top 10 team.

Why is Missouri ranked 5th and Michigan State ranked 10th when both are 11-1? Mizzou beat Florida, a banged up Georgia team, Texas A&M, Ole Miss. Michigan State beat Nebraska, Michigan, Minnesota. I think Michigan State is better than Missouri, but SEC perception gets Mizzou higher and I hate the B1G more than the SEC. Neither Mizzou or Michigan State played the top 3 teams from the other division which causes their records to get inflated during conference play. This is why the SEC tends get teams with good records because the good teams which are really good for the record don't play each other as much and the bottom half teams take the losses.
