Since the advent of the BCS only four times has a non southern school won

When I say southern I mean from the “southern” region of the country.
Tennessee
FSU
Miami
LSU
Texas
Florida
Alabama
Auburn
Clemson
Have all one at least one of 17 national championships since 1998.
Oklahoma
USC
Ohio State x2
are the only schools to win it all since teams started actually playing directly for a national championship in earnest. It’s crazy how ultimately non competitive the rest of the country has been and how much longer this can be sustained. I love winning but I fear the lack of parity may make college football whither and die.

As long as ultimately college football is a stepping stone to the NFL, I don't think college football will die. While winning the NC is a goal for programs, it's also a goal for the players to have a chance at the next level which can happen in any conference.

Oklahoma is in a weird twilight zone 
more southwest than the south. Do you consider Oklahoma’s pool of recruits akin to the rest of the south if we’re going to get into the reason why southern teams do better?

Oklahoma ain't the south
it's in a transition b/w the SW and Midwest plains

It is moving progressively towards being a semi-pro sport. It will die when it reaches that level. If people want to watch professional football, they will watch the NFL. There are almost no successful secondary professional sports leagues just for this reason. College basketball and football had a great niche market based on school/regional loyalty and a defined age bracket of developing players that gave it competitive/compelling match ups. That is all going away..

Its a southern state
much more in common with the south than the rest of the Midwest states esp if we classify all of TX as the south.

Can’t include Texas as “south” then. Oklahoma and Texas are officially Southwest Region. Key word being South.
Ohio St is the only non SOUTH school to win it

Reading the thread title I wasn’t sure if it was Oklahoma or Florida that you were going to consider non-southern

without getting into semantics on what makes up the "south"...this is kind of a non-issue really. I mean if you're going to start at texas, go north to the middle of the country, then go east to the ocean, that's a frick ton of land that encompasses most of the CFB's powers. Waht major big time football programs are even outside of this range? OSU, michigan, notre dame, and USC. That's about it. So you're basically saying that in a game of "those 4 teams vs the rest of the country" that the big group has won most of the titles...well yeah no shite.

Yeah it’s not the South

Parts of Texas are in the south but Austin isn’t one of them. Basically East Texas to around Baytown
You could really change this thread to this

6 non southern teams won from 90-98. A national championship game killed the rest of the country.

Nebraska actually had to play someone in 2001 and got crushed. I think their fallout though has a lot to do with roster and scholarship limits.
