I just can't buy into the idea that a team with

- 2nd most wins all-time in conference
- top half in NCAA tournament appearances
- #2 in conference titles
- #2 in conference tournament titles
You are spouting stats that frankly don't mean much. If the SEC had been consistent with the same teams from the very beginning, you may have a point.
But South Carolina, Missouri, and Arkansas are all relatively new to the SEC, yet all have more baseball success than Alabama. Of course they are going to trail you in conference titles and conference tournament titles, etc.... you had a 60+ year head start!!
Same goes for basketball. Arkansas and Mizzou are clearly ahead of Bama. But these teams didn't join the SEC until much later.
It would be like Bama moving to the ACC for some reason.... trailing every program in ACC football titles wouldn't have any measure on where your program ranked all-time.

See, I don't understand how head to head records, conference tournament records, etc don't matter at all?

And I have them all ranked ahead of Alabama.

Also have them both ranked ahead of Alabama

Except we'd have bowls, bowl appearances, championships, etc. The same type of things we both used to look and determine that Missouri basketball is ahead of Alabama and that Arkansas, South Carolina and Missouri baseball are historically ahead of Alabama.
It isn't a difficult process.

If all of those numbers don't mean much, how do you rank SEC football programs? It is basically Alabama, a huge gap and then Florida, LSU and a then a bunch of schools with 2, 1 or 0 titles over 100+ years of football.
