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.

But does anyone get offended by being "a football school"? Or no, because we all wish we were good at football?

Not during football season but I think they do during the off season

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

Bear won an SEC Championship and UK gave him a gold watch and Rupp a new Cadillac. Bear headed for aTm the next day and UK is proud to not be a football school.
