As someone who has attending an SEC game on his bucket list, I wouldn't care if the foe I got was some I-AA scrub. How many Bama games have you been to?
It's different at each place you go really GH. I'd hope where ever you went, you had a good host.
To me Georgia is fun in the mornings tailgating, you've got the Grove at Ole Miss. LSU is just a beautiful campus and it's just different for night games. Tennessee has the Vol Navy, Vandy is in a beautiful neighborhood in Nashville. I've never really been around TTown for Alabama but I do think it's different depending on who you're with. Never been to Florida, I assume it's just insanely muggy.
For the most part, everyone has good fans, the alumni are generally all very polite and friendly and gracious with food and booze. I usually have horrible tickets at Georgia but it's still fun, that said, There are always drunken idiots, everyone in the world has drunken idiots but I don't let that bother me. Georgia probably has the weakest in stadium atmosphere in the SEC for a major player too many old alumni too close to the field and the students leave at halftime because it's typically more fun outside. Tailgating world class, in stadium... meh.
I've been lucky enough to have 50 yardline seats at Clemson and Ohio State and had an amazing time at both. I almost feel like going to a game is 3 parts, pregame tailgating, game and then postgame tailgating/bars.
One of the most fun football times I've ever had in my life was in 2003 or 2004 whenever it was Georgia blew out LSU in Athens, I got there at 7:30 AM or so and went until the bars close.
Whichever city you go to, I hope they win on that day. If they win it's the best ever, if they lose, it's dead. Point is you can't just choose 1.
