If CBS has a hand in snatching out the pick of the litter every week, then I'm not sure what that does to the "exclusivity." Maybe that idea was just my own wishful thinking. I haven't seen anything that really describes what the SEC Network will be doing, other than "It's coming in 2014" tv commercials.
The SEC Network is obviously a partnership with ESPN, so some of the games you'd typically see on ESPN/2/U will just be on the SEC Network instead.

They will. CBS gets one game a week. That's it.

Well pretty much every basketball game will be nationally televised, and baseball will have far more games televised. Kinda hard to claim "exclusiveness" for football when every game is already televised. Besides, CBS only has one game a week and they pay out the arse for it. Not sure why you'd want to kick them to the curb.

CBS will still get the first slot. ESpn/SEC will get the rest
The big deal with the network is the lesser sports coverage. Basketball, Baseball, Softball, T&F etc will all be shown, plus additional programming too.
Think of it like the Big10 Network, with better teams and better partner( ESPN/Fox).

in the same way the NFL network is exclusive to the NFL. The entire content of the SEC network is the SEC. But that doesn't mean that all SEC content is on the SEC Network.

There will be 3 games per Saturday (11, 230, 7) with an SEC gameday. They'll replay all football games during the week, have SEC Storied, tons of non-football live games, all SEC tourney for all sports, and an ESPN3 web-channel for things that don't make it to the tv.
