Other than 1 season with Cam Newton, none of the above schools have been appreciably better than Mizzou over the last decade, and Mizzou has beaten 2 of them in bowl games (SC and Ark) while owning one of them (aTm) in conference play.
There are 3 dominant teams in the SEC as opposed to 2 dominant teams in the Big XII. Mizzou will be fine.

Woah.. slow down there. First, of course if you throw out a NC season there's one less NC season. The fact is that there have been 5 straight NCs from the SEC won by 4 different schools.
Further, in your confined 10 year period there have been 8 different SEC teams in the conference championship game. In the same time period there have been 6 different Big XII teams in their conference championship game, including Mizzou twice (losing both times),

In the last 10 years the Big XII has had 2 teams who have been to 2 or more BCS games. In the same time period the SEC has had 5 teams with 2 or more BCS game appearances.
Sure, the SEC has some bottom feeders in the conference, but it's not nearly as top-heavy as the Big XII has been.
