I have seen this topic discussed before and wondered what everyone thought of it. I personally think winning the conference is more impressive.
Final 4 will always be perceived as the bigger accomplishment. This year though winning the SEC was probably the bigger one given how loaded the conference was.

Elite 8 is probably say is about equivalent.

Of course, but would you rather win the SEC or make the elite 8?

I think that winning the conference regular season championship is a bigger accomplishment. Championships matter, even if just a conference championship. Plus, there is only one (barring ties) SEC conference champion each season versus 8 teams in the elite 8.
With that said, based just on the unpredictability of one and done tournaments, making the elite 8 may be harder. In a one and done like the NCAA tournament the better team doesn’t always win. A cold shooting night can send a great team home and conversely running into a mid team on a night they can’t mias can too. The better or at least one of the better teams wins the conference title and not the hotter shooting team on a given night.
