Do division games count "more" for tiebreaker purposes in the SEC?

Tennessee had Bama beat up until some time in the 4th quarter, and they were on the road. They did the same vs Oklahoma and Arkansas, and Florida (when they had PEDs QB). That's one national champion, two playoff contenders, the SEC East champion (again, when they had Grier at QB), and Arkansas who beat Ole Miss and LSU.

I still don't understand people questioning Tennessee so much as being a legit contender. They were literally 4 plays away from being undefeated. No game ever got away from them last year and they bring back 17 starters including the QB, both RBs, 4 OL, most of the front 7 and half of the DBs. The guys that will fill in will be better than the guys who left after last season.
