I wonder if it might a little. When the SEC is on top, I'd like to think that it lifts all boats some. Tough to prove but I think it drives more competitive interest from recruits.
It may lift all boats a couple of inches, but it lifts Auburn's boat about eight feet, just like it lifted Alabama's and Florida's and LSU's. It's just dumb to root for a team we recruit against furiously to win a national championship.
