It helps at the end of the year because others are playing harder teams and the proverbial leap frog takes place when they lose.  The SEC plays the voting game better than anyone.
 
Also Bama played 1 aq's ooc.  Georgia will play 1.  LSU played 1.  Florida 1 and haven't left the state of Florida for an OOC game since 91.  Mississippi State played no AQ's ooc and have 1 win over an aq ooc since 2000...even Greg Robinson did better than that.   Mississippi got crushed by Texas and that was their lone aq OOC.  Texas A&M played 0.  Arkansas got crushed in their lone venture away from the conference and of course that was a home game. 
 
What the SEC has learned is that if you only play 8 conference games and completely control where you play and when, they set themselves up for success in the moronic beauty pageant we call college football.  They only play good teams OOC (non rivalry games) when they can prepare for a month and in a neutral site which is usually a hell of a lot closer to their area than the opposing teams.  Add to this all the bowl games are also played in the south.
