Why did the SEC win Nati's at an average rate until 2003, then won 15 of last 20?

What changed?
My opinion is the best players would leave the state until 2003. In my state of Louisiana: Ed Reed, Marshall Faulk, Reggie Wayne, Warrick Dunn, Travis Minor, Brock Berlin, JD Booty, Arnaz Battle, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning. All the best players seemed to go to blue bloods like: Notre Dame, Michigan, USC, Nebraska, Ohio State, Florida State, Miami, Texas, OU, Bama. Only 1 of which was an SEC team around 2003 to 2006.
Did the SEC start pouring more money into coaching and facilities? What changed these kids mind starting around 2003?

They poured money into players. Now everybody can. Game changer

I don't think you can overstate how much of a game-changer it is to have an elite coach. The SEC always had the best talent, but Saban by himself skews this thing to absurd levels. Throw in Meyer and Smart and you've got 11 of the 15 NCs right there.
For the first time since probably 2003 you can't say that the SEC has any more of a coaching advantage than other conferences.

Stockpiling talent
LSU had 8 NFL drafted DL on the same roster at one time
You can’t do it now with NIL. Nobody can get depth. Reserves don’t get experience
No such thing as reloading anymore
Coaching is extremely overrated at this point. Plug and play
SEC will need to pay backups starter pay if they intend to maintain their dominance

SABAN + Blue blood Alabama program= Domination. Perfect combination of coach and program.

Nick Saban and Urban Meyer

The BCS happened. Apply a mathematical formula to strength of schedule and the Doze Bowl is exposed as all media hype.

Saban resurrecting LSU, Urban running a prison at Florida, Saban post NFL running CFB at Bama, Cam Newton, and Georgia bringing in the Saban disciple that worked. All while you the mid tier teams step up their games as well, minus Tenner.
