Look at the SEC this year and it is pretty similar to the Pac 10. Slightly better but nowhere near the supposed meat grinder that the media tries to play it up to be and that is with the best Pac 10 team on probation. With a non probation USC program the SEC and Pac 10 are likely even this season.
The SEC is the best conference but it isn't heads and shoulders above the Pac 10 or Big 12. Those 3 conferences are on the same level with the others below them.
The SEC had two good teams plus Arkansas that could be good at times after that it was a whole bunch of meh.

if you matched up the SEC to the Pac 10, like 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 etc.
the SEC would be favored in 8 or 9 of them
the SEC is head and shoulders above the Pac 10, the Big 12 is top heavy and usually Texas and Okie compete, but the rest of the conference does not
I don't know how the SEC only had 2 good teams plus Arkansas when they had 5 of the top 15 in the final poll
and if you look at the history of BCS bowls, the Sec is 15-6, compared to the big 12 which is 8-10, and the Pac 10 which is 9-5. Not only has the SEC been in the most BCS bowls of the 3 (the big 10 is first in appearances but only has a 10-11 record, and top to bottom is probably the second best conference), and received the most At Large bids, but it has also won the most as well.
