Put it this way, Using Bamas 5 seed when 6/10 wins vs seeds #12-14 and 8/18 games were #11-14 is just kind of naive. Especially considering the SEC is clearly expected to be significantly improved next year
the SEC is cleary in a rebound year. Only about 5 teams returned 3+ starters from 2015-16
In 17-18, it is expected 9 teams will return 4+ starters. Those are from vastly improved recruiting classes in the SEC that didn't happen in years past

Look, I know Bama's SEC schedule was extremely favorable.
So was Auburn's.
Auburn played Mizzou and LSU twice. They played the Top 4 once each.
Yet Auburn went 7-11. Five of those seven wins are over the bottom three. The other two were Bama.
I'm more confident that a team who finished 10-8 against a weak conference slate will take the next step than a team that finished 7-11 against a similarly weak slate, especially since said 10-8 team is adding a Top 5 recruiting class.
One of these young teams is bound to take that next step. My money is on Bama. Yeah, a lot of that hinges upon Sexton being good right away, but he has good players around him so he should be set up to succeed.
