The past 4 years there has been a SEC team in the preseason ranked in the Top 10 that has derailed and finished unranked.

2015: Auburn
2014: South Carolina
2013: Georgia(honorable mention for A&M, starting the year #7 with lots of hype and losing 4 games)
2012: Arkansas


You missed the biggest one of all:

2013 - Florida #10 - Finished 4-8 unranked (Georgia at least has a winning record that year)

It goes farther than that. If you include current SEC teams in the cycle.

2011: aTm preseason #8 - Finished 7-6 unranked
2010: Florida preseason #4 - Finished 8-5 unranked

If you expand it to include the top 15:

2009 - Georgia #13 - finished 8-5 unranked
2008 - LSU #7 - finished 8-5 unranked
2007 - Trend stops here. All current SEC teams ranked in the top 15 in the preseason polls finished the season ranked.
