re: Do other conferences suck off each other like the SEC?

You know who cares about "looking better"? Voters. The people making the rankings. Having a loss to an SEC team is a lot better than having a loss to teams from another conference. It doesn't count against you as much.
but that doesn't and shouldnt carry over to next year. Everyone agrees the SEC is the toughest conference. It didn't hurt in 2015 that the SEC W was 2-5 in bowls and it won't matter next year if the SEC is 7-1.

And winning against SEC teams is a boost that another conference doesn't get.
Having a very strong conference boosts your wins against conference opponents and softens the losses against conference opponents.
So? There were still just as many teams from the B1G and Big XII in the playoff as SEC teams and just as many ACC teams as SEC teams in the final. LSU and OM still have 3 loses and didn't sniff the playoff. So we will be ranked 15 maybe instead of 22,. Yay?

It matters. Stop pretending that it doesn't.
LSU got to the national championship with 2 losses. Alabama got to the national championship to play against LSU after they had already lost to them and didn't even make the conference championship game.
If they were in the Big 10, do you think they would have gotten the benefit of the doubt in those cases? Most likely not.
