Playing eight conference games is certainly an advantage but the conference's sheer dominance isn't because of that, it's because they really have the best programs in the country.

They do have the best talent but a season becomes a lot easier and more successful if you're playing 8 conference games and a high school team in November when everyone else is playing a P5 conference foe. Until the committee cleans up that horse schit (I'm looking at you, ACC, too) there's a pretty serious stain on the accomplishments of the $EC.
