No I did not miss your point, I think you are attempting to use transitive properties to make an argument that the strength of a post 2006 SEC applies to a 2003 SEC.

In 2003 the SEC West was weak.

Bama was 4-9 and beat no one with a pulse. Auburn was 8-5 with a win over Tennessee and a 5-3 SEC record.
Arkansas was 9-4 and beat no one with a pulse.
Florida was 8-5 with a win over UGA and LSU and the coach was fired at the conclusion of the next season.

Not to take away anything from the 2003 championship team, but our traditional rivals and the SEC West were weak in 2003.
