re: Only 6 of the SECs 65 Draftees did not play Bama because of Covid. 4 of those went to LSU

They aren't if you just compare SEC records vs SEC records.

There are a finite number of teams that can have winning records each year.

2020 - 5 (Alabama played 4 of 4 possible)
2019 - 6 (LSU played 4 of 5 possible)
2018 - 6
2017 - 5
2016 - 4
2015 - 7

More teams with "winning records" generally just means there were more gawd awful teams that went 1-7 or 0-8. It doesn't mean that there were more "good" teams.

Combined SEC Winning % Opponents not including games vs themselves
2019 LSU - 53.1% (34-30)
2020 Alabama - 57.7% (56-41)
