Well I guess if you consider 52-24 against Ohio St. or 42-25 against Clemson for all the marbles the last 2 years competitive. Ok.
If you call the SEC having more draft picks selected every year in the draft than the Pac-12 and Big-12 combined. And almost as many as the Big-10 and ACC combined. Sure.
Or if you call the SEC winning 11 of the past 15 national championships competitive.
Or if you call the SEC getting more 5-star recruits every year than all the other conferences combined competitive.
The bowl games that matter aren't competitive.
Yeah you'll see the occasional team from another conference be competitive with a mediocre SEC team in a bowl game here and there. Or a team like Florida get blown out by a team like Oklahoma because all their players sit out . But in general, competitiveness of bowl games aren't a good measuring stick. Motivation is always a factor, and it's always different for a disappointed SEC vs a team coming in with a this is our superbowl mentality.
I mean yeah you'll see conference championship caliber teams from other conferences like Tulsa be competitive in a bowl game with a 3 win Mississippi St. team under a first year head coach that's cleaning his roster - and still lose.
You like to post in narratives, and we all get that. But don't be a football idiot. As Randy Moss and Chris Carter like to say......C'mon man!
