Easier to win football at Bama.


SEC football is overall still at the top as a conference, so the SEC champ is going to be the odd's on favorite going into the postseason. Bama has established that they are very likely to be that team that emerges from the SEC each season.
Not the case in basketball; the ACC is the dominant conference. Kentucky can emerge as the SEC champ, and it may still be behind Duke/UNC or some of the rest, like Louisville etc. And Kentucky hasn't locked the SEC down like Bama has, since the one-and-done means they have to reload every year, while Bama keeps building on what they have.

Conference competition matters- Bama football should have faced solid progams with multiple styles (LSU-run and defense, A&M- air raid, Auburn- hybrid HUNH, etc), while Kentucky doesn't necessarily face the same level of opposition each season in conference. Those in-season tests should better prepare you in the post-season.
