I know UF/tOSU started the run, but I always felt like Auburn going undefeated and getting snubbed was the moment that a decade of burning resentment became a full on conflagration.

The genesis was the SEC taking a risk and becoming the first major conference with divisions and a championship game. Many said it wouldn't work, and in the first season, 1992, Bama showed that, yes, it would.

I think you really have to look at the downfall of Nebraska, the U, Michigan, Florida State, Notre Dame from national contenders to pretenders. Over the last twenty years, the Big 12 became a two team league(OU/tu), the Pac 12 became a 1 team league(USC) and the Big Ten became a 1 team league(OSU), while the SEC really expanded from the Big 4 in to the Big 6. Parity is good for all, at least for the ones that tried it.
