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.
Colorado crushes them also. Frauds who never should have been there

It's really a coincidence that the run started with advent of the BCS. The year before the BCS 2 Northern teams split the title so you would have had a Michigan-Nebraska NCG. 4 of the 6 big conferences at the time wanted a 1 v 2 guaranteed National Title game going back to 92 but of course the B1G/Pac 10 and Rose Bowl clung to "tradition".

That's definitely a big part of it. But their 2 biggest advantages during their run from the 70s-90's was their facilities and legendary S&C program. I think they were the first (or one of the first anyway) teams to have an S&C coach and weight program. Now everyone has that.

There are almost no successful secondary professional sports leagues just for this reason.
There’s never been a secondary professional league that already had over a hundred years of tradition or nearly the following college sports have.
The problem secondary professional leagues have is no one wants to watch low quality talent when they have no reason to care for one or the other besides the team being local. People will always watch their college teams though

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..
It seems like college sports isn’t changing that much except on marginal things, but rather y’all are changing

Oklahoma is Southern if we are calling Texas Southern.

It’s a pretty easy explanation. Extremely high black population and a societal preference of football over basketball. That’s the story in a nutshell.

Texas was part of the Confederacy, Oklahoma was Indian territory at the time.

I don’t even consider Texas or Florida as part of the “south”
Oklahoma is definitely not southern.
Texas is just Texas, and the East/coastal can have Florida

There are less blacks in the north and as a region they focus more on indoor sports like basketball, hockey, wrestling etc.

I consider the south anything that reminds me of when you get to Rhodes in RDR2. Okie is like a mix of heartlands and Rhodes

I'd like to see them switch to a system where the Sugar and Orange are the semi finals every year and the title game is always at the Rose Bowl. Could maintain some of cfb's "tradition" and the salt from B1G and PAC fans watching southern teams lift that trophy every year would be wonderful.
