Anyway, over the long haul the SEC has done very well. However, if the SEC doesn't pick up their game soon they will have trouble repeating their success. SEC was #6 in conference RPI last year with 2 top-10's, 3 tourney-level teams, and a whole bunch of garbage (including the entire west division)

Little cherry picking.
Make it 25 years and there's another NC (Kansas of course) and a couple more final fours.
But yes, the Big 12 has had some very underwhelming performances in recent years.
