I agree that SEC is worth less as a stand-alone. The footprint will need
to be expanded. That stresses profitability. Also, those out-of-conference games boost the W-L record of The SEC overall, but for the weak teams in particular. Teams that are perennially winless will lose support. A stand-alone conference earns a .500 record, always, looking only "average."
That is why I believe P4 and maybe all BCS conferences will form two competing sides compelled by media contracts seeking to form the best overall viewership. International reach will influence the decisions. Realignment will need to be settled ahead of the next round of contracts.
