Its a lot easier to have a winning record in basketball. Thats why an SEC team that goes 16-15 in basketball has very little chance of going to a 68 team tournament, but a football that goes 7-5 in the SEC is not only guaranteed a bowl spot but is probably like the 30-35th best team in the country.

If football had a 68 team tournament, a 7-5 SEC team would be like an 8-seed.

I wouldn't say "a lot" easier, but there is a little more margin (depending on your OOC schedule).

Generally 3-4 SEC Football teams finish with losing records while 2-3 SEC Basketball teams finish with losing records.
