It is not regional bias per se. It is anti-conference bias. Poll voters don't want to put too many teams from one conference in the top four. I'm actually surprised UGA is still in there and hasn't been jumped by another team outside the SEC.

not even that...
It is NOT about THE BEST TEAMS, it is about $$$$ and those voting want all areas represented.

We have gone from the best 4 teams to the likely best teams as long as MOST major conferences are represented.
