I could easily argue that an SEC rival winning the title hurts the other team just as much as it helps them. Sure it makes the conference as a whole look better. But on a team by team basis it can hurt an individual school. If Florida is eyeing some top recruits and they decide to go to Auburn or Alabama instead because they win the title, that directly hurts the individual team.
It doesn't do Florida a whole lot of good to lose out on some recruits to another SEC team because the other team recently won a title or big game. I don't think the coaches would find much comfort and say, "well it sucks we couldn't get the guy, but at least he will be on another SEC team so he can beat our brains in for the next three years."
