SEC dominance is an ESPN spun narrative
I think this is backwards. ESPN didn't spin a narrative. A streak of BCS championships happened. SEC media fans/media would talk about the SEC being the toughest conference, but that didn't play nationally or especially at ESPN. ESPN was one of the last places to "spin" that narrative. Reality overwhelmed them.

I'm not saying I don't think the SEC isn't dominant, but it's a convenient narrative to use the BCS Title streak as some catch all for explaining it... when in reality if Auburn loses to FSU, it has absolutely no bearing on how dominant the league is...
