Not necessarily. Our baseball teams(SEC) have a reputation for being good, so we get benefit of the doubt a lot of times. Meanwhile our (SEC) basketball has a negative rep, so it has the reverse effect sometimes if they're choosing between Big 10 vs SEC with similar resumes. So you're right that we're usually getting our good teams in, but to deny reputation and the fact that humans select the teams so it's not an exact science, is just not true. And it definitely cannot be proven.
