maestrojpl - sorry about posting before you finished - but I noticed you started by "picking" on the SEC  - figured I'd say it before someone else said it and meant it and to take it one step further you started with the best - again tongue in cheek. 
Looking forward to the rest of your list - enjoy the weekend.

DISCLAIMER
This is my opinion. There might be some minor errors here and there, but I compiled this data at work in a hurry. I thought it would be an interesting topic for debate. There were difficult choices so feel free to disagree. I started with the 50's for my sanity and because I wanted to keep this in the modern era. "Elite" programs was completely subjective on my part. I tried to be fair and include the best among the BCS conferences. Enjoy.

Particularly difficult choices were choosing b/t the 60's and 70's for Bama's best decade. It was tough finding a worst decade for OSU, Tennessee, and USC. OU's best b/t 50's and 70's was tough as well as Nebraska's best b/t 70's and 90's.
