I'm SHOCKED that a Bama fan thinks regular season titles are better. They haven't won a tournament title since
Regular season titles are tougher to win because you generally win them by playing every team over a period of time while having to go into hostile environments for real road games. You have to be the most consistent team for a few months.
With conference tournaments, it's a neutral site (sometimes with very few fans caring either way except for UK fans who are all over the place usually waiting for their team to play). You just need to get hot and win a few games at the right time. But the conference tournament can definitely be king when the champ had little to no chance to make the tourney otherwise. So I do love that aspect of it. Also, the teams who have little to no chance have a lot more to play for than those who are comfortably in The Dance already.

Exactly. Having the best record after an 18 game, 2 month long round robin style format is a much tougher accomplishment and more impressive imho than winning 3-4 games in a row without playing half of the best teams in the conference. The SECT is fun and can be a golden ticket for a team that doesn't have a date to the dance, but suggesting that winning that is better than winning the regular season conference championship is pretty ridiculous.
