| The South hardly 'dominates' football even today, and it certainly hasn't done so historically. The SEC prior to this decade (and NCAA history includes over a dozen decades) was not the league it is today, and it may not be the league it is today for very much longer. Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Southern Cal, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Penn State, the Ivy League schools, Army, Navy, Nebraska- the vast majority of the schools that have historically dominated college football are not in the SEC footprint. The Florida triumvirate (Florida, FSU, Miami) is a fairly recent development (and two of the three are already past their prime, which turned out to be very short), Alabama was horrible until a few years ago, Tennessee is terrible, Auburn and Georgia are perennial bridesmaids, LSU is historically middling (and is back to middling under Les Miles). Your 'great conference' that dominates football, is right now the product of exactly two men, Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. |
