And it's only "arguable" because SEC.

But they play in the SEC and beat a highly ranked SEC team. What do you mean they aren't a contender? That's been the only criteria for like two decades.

Where did you hear them being mentioned as a title contender? This sounds revisionist. Playoff contender isn’t the same as title contender, either. There are teams every year who make the 12-team playoff who aren’t serious title contenders.

This is what happens when you’re in the SEC. Look at Northwestern and Nebraska. If an SEC school played the undefeated defending champs that close for their first loss not a single one of them would be outside the top 15, let alone unranked.
