Why is it so much better?

Its the depth that good sec teams have that sets them apart from most P5 teams. A lot of power 5 conf teams have good 1's. What happens after a couple of injuries or when your starters need a breather late in the 4th. Good depth sets the sec apart from the other conferences. Its also the coaches. The sec has really good coaches at schools that aren't really destination schools.

This leads me to a question.. Why is it that the SEC is so good? Is it because of all the athletic African Americans in the south? Why is it so much better? Do more fast people just become born in the south or what?

Coaching.

We're the only conference that still emphasizes on defense as a whole. At some point all the other P5 schools with a few exceptions said 'screw defense, let's just outscore the other team.' This is why the other teams seem to breeze through their schedules and drop 70 every time they play a cupcake team, but come up short when they meet a physical team.
