I have been thinking and if you look at the BCS era it has largely been dominated by the South in general:
11 of the 13 national titles reside in the following 6 states:
Florida (4)
Alabama (2)
Louisiana (2)
Tennessee (1)
Texas (1)
Oklahoma (1)
The only two states that broke this trend:
California - vacated
Ohio - beat Miami in OT
We are a pass interference call away from 12 of the 12 recognized national titles residing in 6 of the 50 U.S. states.
Moral of the story......football is pretty important down here.
