Meh.
Tennessee pretty much disappeared from 1969 - 1985; Georgia went from powerhouse to shithouse several times; LSU disappeared, reappeared, disappeared, reappeared; and Auburn came on starting with Pat Dye, disappeared, and came back last year.
Florida came on in 1990 and has never really gone away.
But Alabama has been the only real constant.

This is my point, Texas and Arkansas were both "constants" as far as the national stage with a down year every now and then. Texas A&M, Houston, and SMU would pop up every now and then depending on how their salary caps were going that year.
In the Big 8 you had Nebraska and OU.
Pac-10 you had USC/UCLA.
Big10, Ohio St. and Michigan.
It is laughable to compare the parity to the leagues today to the leagues of the 50s-90s as this type of parity did not exist in leagues that were good, so to say one league was harder or easier top to bottom than another is laughable as just about every league was a one to two horse league at the time...

I would say you and A&M were pretty even.

Bama ruled in the 60's as much as the 70's.
LSU was far and away the 2nd best team in the SEC during that period but Bama in the 60's was just as dominant nationally as the 70's.

The '60's were more decent from a parity standpoint in the SEC. Bama ruled the decade, but Ole Miss and Georgia each won a couple of SECC's, LSU won one, and so did Tennessee.
The '70's?
Domination, other than LSU in '70, Georgia in '76, and Kentucky in '77.
