I think there is some unquantifiable thing that must at least be acknowledged

well sure, but id prefer not to get into a dukkev type argument where both parties just shout biased opinions not based on actual numbers.

as it stands now, there is more talent to chose from in the south and also less BCS schools fighting for those players in the region.

id argue that the Mid-Atlantic is the most challenging area to recruit due to not only the quantitative data above but also the SEC and BigTen presence in the area (these Mid-Atlantic prospects are being dispersed nationally instead of staying locally); there is a reason why no single program has been able to lock down the elite prospects in the area (more programs are hiding in the backyard)
