LSU, Bama and aTm all underachieved. Combined with Florida and Georgia meltdowns the SEC had a down year.
Four teams finished the regular season in the Top Ten ... please name another year when we had more finish the regular season in the Top Ten? I mean last year, 2012 set the record with six in the final regular season Top 11 and five in the final Top Ten in January. That was a record year.
So I guess only having four there this year is a down year. Yet, if you really want to squash the argument, it could be said that having so many different teams finish in the Top Ten in the past few years signifies depth, deeper strength, than any other conference in America. There are always a handful of programs, as different as they may be, in the SEC willing to step up to Top Ten level of play ... and/or championship level of play.

The SEC teams in the top 10 this year don't appear as talented as years past. Take 2011's LSU, Alabama, and Arkansas against this year's Auburn, Alabama and Mizzou. 2011 wins in a landslide IMO.
