The only team close is Vandy and it's not close.

Vanderbilt would be in the lower tier of Ivy League schools in academics but upper tier in athletics.

Serious answer to your highly technical question:
Yes, the SEC is better than a single person getting into an Ivy League school.

Cornell is the only Ivy with a vet program. Three Sec schools have as-good vet programs.
Thats one example where an sec vs ivy academics argument could go to sec.
I could probably think of other examples.

It's not about the education, it is about the networks you build by going to those institutions. I'm thinking Vandy may be pretty good. A&M is the closest you will probably ever get from a public institution.

Oh, this is where you parked the short bus...

None.
Vanderbilt is the top academic school in SEC, but it would not be equivalent to Ivy league, Stanford, The Claremont Colleges, NYU and some others.
Any of the SEC schools would provide a meaningful education for most of us, and some specific degree programs are very highly regarded for each institution.

Consider this a guide to a few colleges that can be just as competitive as the Ivy Leagues.
1. University of Virginia
Not only is UVA a large, well renowned public institution in Charlottesville, Va., but its total in-state tuition is only $23,986! An added perk includes that UVA is the public university with the most Rhodes Scholars.
2. University of Florida
3. The State University of New York at Stony Brook
SUNY Stony Brook is not only one of the best research institutions in the world but it comes at a New York sized bargain with a total in-state tuition that is just $5,570. The short train ride into the city makes the location very attractive as well.
4. California Polytechnic State University

The major difference between Ivy League schools and Public ones isn't education. In fact, public uni's have closed the gap in a lot of ways and many are better in certain majors and/or grad majors.
Where Ivies show out is 1. the socioeconomic status of students and 2. networking (both student wise AND recommendation wise - get an Ivy Prof to write a rec for you and you'll go far). With Ivies you have the connections and resources to drum up capital, have access to a fantastic alumni base that really does help you, and get into a great grad school (one that often sets you up for life).
It's not really an education difference at most places. (And FWIW, I've taught both public uni kids and Hahvhaad kids at the grad level and there's not a dime's worth of difference).
Everything being equal, you're a fool not to go Ivy.

A Vanderbilt degree with very good grades will get you an interview at Harvard.
Overall, none at the undergraduate level.
But that said, almost all schools have particular majors that are as good as anybody's. Had I gone to grad school in pre-Civil War history it would have been LSU. Florida is loaded with great majors.
South Carolina's International Business is as good as anyone's.
Almost all have something.

It depends on what your goals are. If you want to work in Alabama it's better to go to Alabama. Nobody wants those Ivy League wierdos to work for them.
