#3 FSU vs Florida
#16 GA Tech vs #9 GA
#21 Clemson vs South Carolina
#22 Louisville vs. Kentucky

South Carolina ONLY played Auburn and did give them a decent game.
Florida ONLY played Alabama and got beat soundly.
Georgia ONLY played Auburn, and did beat them handily.
Kentucky ONLY played Miss St, and lost by 2 TD's.

I'm assuming the SEC is good because they have several different teams that have won an NC recently, and you can usually see their 3 or 4th best team beat another conference's 1st or 2nd best team in a bowl game.

Other than the Georgia/GT game, the other three games don't make your point. An ACC ranked (and favored team) playing at home against a lower ranked (non-top 25) opponent doesn't say as much as you seem to think. At least Tech (the #2 ranked ACC team) beat a higher ranked Georgia team (the 4th highest ranked SEC team) on the road.
