I have misplaced my pants.
I'll take your word for the baseball thing. I don't know if college baseball is played north of the Ohio River.
But assuming this website is correct: https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/associated-press
then there's 4 SEC teams in the top 6.
4 more in the 7-20 range.
Also, I'm intentionally stirring the pot, but why is it "stirring the pot" to call someone a basketball conference or basketball school? Is it because it implies that they aren't a football conference/school?

It is generally used as an insult by fans of schools that are only good at one sport.
For instance, during peak Saban years, Gumps would call LSU a "baseball" school as an insult to imply that we weren't very good at football. Now that they're mediocre in football and think that they're good at basketball (they're not), they don't use it anymore.

Then again, in college athletics fandom, literally anything can be turned into an insult or become the basis for trash talk.

Billy Napier's decision to buck college football's biggest trend pays major dividends and could convince others to follow suit
With many teams looking to eliminate spring games, Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier decided against that and it paid major dividends. The Gators had a fantastic turnout at their spring game of 56,563. It ended up being the most in all of college football, according to 247 Sports.Florida Gators have highest spring game attendance
What's even more impressive about the Gators' spring game attendance was being over 15,000 higher than every other college, including Ohio State, who had their lowest attendance in years.....
It wasn't just the highest in the nation for the Gators, they also had their highest attendance since Tim Tebow's senior season.Having a spring game has been a point of contention for many in the world of college football. Some schools have opted to not have the game because it can be a recruiting tool for other teams with the transfer portal.
The Gators have taken a different philosophy. They used it to continue developing their young roster. With DJ Lagway not throwing during the spring, the Gators got important reps for backup quarterbacks Aidan Warner and Harrison Bailey, and the performance of the former earned him a scholarship.
Another important element for the Gators was they had 98% of their roster "locked up" for the 2025 season. You can feel a lot more comfortable about having a full fledged spring game when you feel that confident about your roster.
The success Florida had this year could be the catalyst for other teams to potentially bring them back, especially with revenue sharing adding another element to NIL and the transfer portal.
