Let's see the SEC teams they've played:
 
Georgia: 33rd in total defense
South Carolina: 12th in total defense
Vanderbilt: 19th in total defense
Alabama: 2nd in total defense
Kentucky: 71st in total defense
Florida: 5th in total defense
 
They've played 2 defenses in the SEC outside of the top 20 in the country. Syracuse is ranked 42nd in total defense, better than only one SEC team they've faced.
 
We can also look at it from scoring defense:
 
Georgia: 25th in scoring defense
South Carolina: 20th in scoring defense
Vanderbilt: 14th in scoring defense
Alabama: 1st in scoring defense
Kentucky: 96th in scoring defense
Florida: 4th in scoring defense
 
Syracuse is ranked 57th in scoring defense. It looks to me that aside from Kentucky, Syracuse's defense is the worst they will have faced so far in SEC play, and Kentucky is the only team they have beaten in conference. We are obviously much better than Kentucky, but to say that the defenses they have faced in the SEC is something to scoff at doesn't appear to be correct.
