Monday’s national championship will unfold inside $6 billion SoFi Stadium But no matter who wins, it will continue a simple fact, says RossDellenger: The South runs college football
in the national championship game, the four players can help continue a reign of dominance unseen in the history of the sport: No matter what happens Monday, teams from the Southeastern region of the United States or the state of Texas will have won 17 of the last 18 college football titles.
Now back in their native Pacific Time Zone, Ringo, Bowers, Washington and Milton can deliver yet another blow to the idea that college football is a national sport. One region—six states—have a stranglehold on this thing. Alabama’s rise under coach Nick Saban coincides with its conference’s elevation as the dominant force in the sport. From 2006 to ’12, the SEC won seven straight championships, and the league has won four of the last five.
“We left the trip and he said, ‘I can’t play on the West Coast. It’s just not the same over there,’” says Warren Bowers, Brock’s father. Since 1998, the first year of the BCS, when college football’s champion was crowned on the field and not in the polls, six teams have won 74% of the championships: Alabama , LSU , Clemson , Florida State , Florida and Ohio State . If Georgia wins Monday, seven teams will have won 80% of the titles—a striking figure.
