Was the SEC this year not as advertised?

Look this is all im saying and not to take away from teams who eliminated or beat SEC schools over the weekend because there were and is some pretty good teams. The facts show that the SEC as a whole was competitive with each other this year but not an elite conference. You could not gage the SEC until regionals and boy it showed. The facts show that by several teams beating SEC schools and not only beating them, eliminating their seasons. Tbh this was a surprising find and also an interesting one. As a LSU supporter and fan, it was hard to accept losing to LR even we have another chance to advance. Many other top SEC programs are done.
