I'm not sure if the SEC is always the best but we will ALWAYS be underrated.
It will be very tough for an SEC team to not take a loss or two next year. That's why I think best record is meaningless.

I think most experts agree that the SEC is the strongest conference. They just have to 'degrade' so they can make exciting matchups like OSU-MI, ND-Whoever and also get those big $$ schools into the bowl games.
