Most unbiased rating systems have SEC at the top. If you don't trust human polls (which are almost identical to rating systems) and you don't trust computer systems, what is your solution? Syracuse at number one by default? Here are two of the more well-known ones:

Sagarin:

1 Mississippi A = 97.20 7 0 74.95( 13) 1 0 | 3 0 | 95.44 3 | 96.08 1 | 97.30 1
2 Alabama A = 96.91 6 1 77.11( 9) 0 1 | 3 1 | 96.42 1 | 95.68 2 | 95.62 4
3 Auburn A = 96.55 5 1 79.22( 3) 0 1 | 2 1 | 95.93 2 | 94.43 3 | 96.74 2
4 Mississippi State A = 93.52 6 0 73.84( 20) 1 0 | 3 0 | 93.64 5 | 89.83 7 | 96.26 3
5 Georgia A = 92.44 6 1 74.64( 14) 0 0 | 3 0 | 92.46 6 | 92.60 4 | 89.74 7

The world is not against you. The SEC is just that good this year, like most other years. (And by the way, the ACC is ranked last in power conferences by both of these systems).
