Very good question in the OP. The scholarship limitations kicked-in in the early-to-mid 70's I think so it wasn't much of a factor for the '94-'02 time frame.

My best guess as to why this is would be the ascendancy of the SEC. From '94-'02 the SEC won 2 natty's (UF in '96 and UTenn in '98). From '03 through '15, the SEC has won 9 of the 12 (since USC's '04 was vacated). The SEC became so dominant nationally but also so competitive among itself.
