Bama started all this back with the 1926 Rose Bowl, and then carried the Southern Torch for a bit. Then other SEC programs stepped up the last 20-30 yrs or so. Now the SEC has 5-6 legit program capable of putting together Championship caliber teams. Arkansas & SC coming on lately so that number could go to 6-8 maybe.
The SEC has 5-6 legit programs capable of putting together a Championship Caliber Team any given year
SEC
Bama
LSU
Florida
Auburn
Tenn
Georgia (Should've won a BCS Title last decade)
Other Conferences count on only one or two programs to do this
Big12
Texas
Oklahoma
Big10
Ohio St.
Wisconsin recently
(Michigan usually)
Pac10+1
Oregon
USC (Usually)
ACC
FSU
Miami
(OK teams, but not consistent enough to win every week)
Big East
Hmmm
If we gave every conference a total # of Dice that represents the # of legit programs that could put together Championship Caliber Teams any given season
The SEC would be rolling 5 or 6 Dice any given season
Other Conferences are rolling only 1 or 2 Dice any given season
Who would have best chance of rolling Snake Eyes each roll?
The SEC of course
The odds are good for the SEC to put together a Championship Caliber Team that plays consistent Championship football every week

As the QB of the NC team for LSU in 1908, Doc Fenton begs to differ.
John Heisman might disagree as well, given the Yellowjackets' NC from 1917.
It's too bad that Tulane lost the Rose Bowl to SCAL after the 1931 season, or I'm sure they would claim a NC from that year as well.
TRIVIA: Tulane was the first team to beat LSU in an SEC game, winning 13-12 at Tiger Stadium on December 1, 1934. That far into the SEC's 2nd year, LSU & Alabama were the only 2 schools without a conference loss. Alabama did not lose a conference game until their SEC opener in 1935, losing to Miss. State 7-20 in Tuscaloosa.
LSU gained some steam, and would have claimed NCs in '35 & '36 if not for 2 close Sugar Bowl losses, and then Tennessee carried the torch, winning every single one of their regular season games (30) in the 3 seasons from 1938 to 1940.
