Most of the teams ate 4 cupcakes. Subtract those lightweights out and the SEC is a conference full of weak teams.

You can say that about a lot of conferences. Do you really have a significant point?

You cannot be so blind and stupid. SEC = cupcake maximizer.
FYI: Cupcake -- FCS
Aren't they required to play a power 5 non-conference opponent? Some teams play at least one other decent opponent and then 2 cupcakes. The league kind of beat itself up this year (and got beat up by Bama).
I do wish the conference would outlaw playing FCS opponents.

Agreed. If a team did play an FCS team they should have their ranking dropped by several spots with no way to make it up. Maybe 3 places. Play three cupcakes, go undefeated and the highest possible ranking would be 9th place.

Yes, I also would like to see more games against strong out of conference teams (for every conference not just the SEC). Some of those teams in the SEC lost amongst themselves not to non-SEC teams.
Haters gonna hate!!!!
We all know SEC is king!!!
Can I get a roll tide!

Most P5 conferences these days play 9 games plus an OOC against a P5 opponent, meaning 10 games vs. P5 teams and 2 games against either O5 or FCS schools.
SEC and ACC are the only ones left playing 8 games plus an OOC against a P5 opponent, meaning 9 games vs. P5 teams and 3 games against either O5 or FCS schools.
Obviously, some teams schedule multiple P5 opponents, but the same is true in any conference. ACC and SEC teams, in general, have 1 more easy game than every other conference.
If you took that into account...
B12 had 8 teams make it to 5 wins, and 6 teams made it to 6 wins.
SEC had 11 teams make it to 6 wins, and 9 teams made it over 6 wins.
ACC had 11 teams make it to 6 wins, and 8 teams made it over 6 wins.
B1G had 10 teams make it to 5 wins, and all 10 made it to 6 wins.
P12 had 8 teams make it to 5 wins, and 6 made it to 6 wins.
However, the non-bowl teams in the P12 were generally as good or better than the lower tier bowl teams in the B1G (see: 4-8 Oregon/Oregon State vs. 9-3/8-4 Nebraska/Minnesota) and SEC (see: 4-8 UCLA vs. 8-4 Texas A&M), so it's not exactly the perfect picture because some divisions have lots of dead weight, meaning free wins (I'm looking at you in particular, Rutgers/Purdue/Illinois/Virginia).
