But with Bama's schedule, we're not talking about the conference as a whole. They haven't played Florida, they haven't played Georgia (yet) and they haven't played South Carolina. They've only played two above average teams in the SEC and lost to one of them at home. The SEC is definitely strong at the top, but the middle to lower levels of the conference are worse that usual and certainly no better than other big conferences.
