re: So was this the year the SEC got exposed?

I would say it was another year of great exposure for the SEC!

If the SEC wasn't the best conference this year, may I ask you who was?

I love the bogus term "exposed" as though the SEC has been massive frauds the whole time.

7 national titles in a row is not a fluke.
The best BCS win % by conference is not a fluke.

Like all things, conference strength fluctuates. The SEC was not quite as strong this year as previous years, but was still top to bottom the best conference.

It just so happened the best team in the country resided in a different conference.

Not having the national champion doesn't automatically make your conference suck.

Finished the year with:
3 in the top 5
4 in the top 10
7 (half the conference) in the top 25

Yep. The SEC sure got exposed this year

And the best bowl record of any conference. The OP is just trolling. And not very well

Was art involved in this exposure? If not, then the SEC was not exposed

Is the SEC's dominance now just a matter of opinion?

Let's check the bowl results and see if they tell us anything.

Wins
SEC-W 6th place over ACC-Coastal 4th place
SEC-W 5th place over CUSA champions
SEC-W 4th place over ACC runner-up
SEC-E 2nd place over B1G-leaders 2nd place
SEC-W 3rd place over B1G-legends 2nd place
SEC-E 4th place over American 4th place
SEC runner up over Big-12 third place

Losses
ACC champion over SEC champion
Big-12 2nd place over SEC-W 2nd place
B1G-legends 3rd place over SEC-E 3rd place.

Alabama was the only team to lose to an opponent that finished lower in their conference - and that's only really true if you consider the SEC's divisions as standalone conferences.

Further, in two of the three losses the game literally came to final snaps in the red zone. In the seven wins, only one was reasonably in doubt at the end.

Yep, the league certainly got exposed.
