Because we spread the wealth around and don't consolidate it to one or two programs.
For instance. Since two different teams from the BIG 10 won titles we have had 6 different teams from the SEC win.
Sorry. I don't mean to be laughing at the BIG 10.
I lied. I did mean to be laughing.
It gets worse for the Big Ten
The SEC AVERAGES three NC per decade since 1950. The only decade that the SEC did not win 3 was the 1980's were the SEC won 1.
Since 1970, the Big Ten has won 3 NC in football
Individual southern schools have either topped that number or tied it since 1980
Miami (Fl) - 5
Florida - 3
FSU - 3
Alabama- 7
LSU - 3
Clemson - 3
so out of 43 years southern schools have won over half the titles
(and my list does not include Georgia, Auburn, or Tennessee)

In fairness, I should have noted that Alabama (Our Blueblood) has carried the heavy load with easily the most titles, but it is also fair to note that a large number of other teams have won titles, too. And, as you noted, when you include the entire south east it really gets ugly. The southeastern US easily has the best college football in the entire country. There is no arguing that point. That would hold true if you even if we took Alabama out of the equation, so that just shows how strong this area of the country has been.
