Games that created the "SEC bias"

I've noticed more and more people complaining about how there is an SEC bias, and how 4 of the top 5 is ridiculous. Other than all the national championships in a row, what games led to the thinking that the SEC is just better? For the record, the SEC is just better... Starting around 2005/2006 when the SEC bias began to pick up steam, until 2011 where it was very clear that SEC > everyone else, name some games other than the NCs that showed the SEC dominance. I'll begin:
2005:
LSU 40 - Miami 3
UF 34 - FSU 7
2006:
LSU 41 - ND 14
2007:
LSU 48 - VT 7
UGA 41 - Hawaii 10
UF 45 - FSU 12
2008:
Alabama 34 - Clemson 10
Ole Miss 47 - TTU 34
UF 45 - FSU 15
2009:
UF 51 - Cincinnati 21
USC 34 - Clemson 17
UF 37 - FSU 10
2010:
Miss State 52 - Michigan 14
USC 29 - Clemson 7
Alanama 49 - MSU 7
2011 (the year of the SEC bias
):
USC 34 - Clemson 13
UGA 31 - GT 17
LSU 41 - Oregon 27
LSU 47 - WVU 21
2005:
LSU 40 - Miami 3
UF 34 - FSU 7

2010:

especially when they have clearly been the 2nd best team in the ACC and ACC champions 1 year.
(even though WVA took care of that title...lol)

2010 Alabama v. Michigan State (Capital One Bowl)
This game was big in terms of SEC bias. Mich St was 11-1 and shared the Big 10 Conference Championship. BAMA had lost 3 games. Final Score 49-7

It is indeed true that LSU has the longest regular season non-conf win streak in college football, as he said. It's actually a CFB record, and is still going.

UF - Ohio State in 2006 BCS championship game. The game that started the streak.

And it wasn't even that close.
Michigan State started taking out players to avoid injury. I can't even remember seeing Alabama physically dominate to the point where I semi-feared injury for the other team more than that game.
