Depends on how you want to look at it. Last year the SEC had a few more elite teams, this year the SEC still has elite teams but it has more balance.
Also, a few other teams have stepped up this year outside the SEC to make it so it isn't quite as overwhelming as last year. Last year it felt like there were at least 4 different teams from the SEC that would have destroyed ND in the NC game for instance. This year if you look at a team like Oregon it is hard to say that and objectively Oregon is capable of beating any SEC team (not saying they would but they could). There were also more paper tigers last year like Kansas State and Florida State (FSU is a different team now with a real QB). Still a lot of season to play though.
Then you also have the struggles of UF and UGA, both of which have lost high profile Non Conference games.

Of course unlike most of the SEC only UGA, UF, & UT have played Top end OOC games. I realize it's not OM & Bamas fault their 2 OOC are a little down.
But to answer the Question , The SEC is not down , but the top teams in the PAC and ACC have risen. The SEC is clearly the best conference with the most balance.
However , I don't think the Best team is in the SEC , Oregon. I do think the 2-4 at least is , LSU, UGA (when healthy ) , Bama , in that order . But because of losses and future in conference losses , SEC won't be in the BCSNCG.
And in return the rest of the country will say we are down, but I don't really care about their opinion.
