Because most media members live in the north and can’t stand the fact that most southern and western schools are better than their chosen schools. It’s the same thing in football with Michigan, Ohio State, and Notre Dame

Pretty much all of this folks. Most of us aren't old enough to remember when the Big 10 always got the nod over Southern teams. Bear Bryant could probably have laid claim to another national title or two but for Midwest bias back in the day and that was at Alabama for Pete's sake.

The media is desperate for a great run by a Los Angeles team or a big Midwest team. Unfortunately for them, once Southern schools integrated and African American athletes stayed in the South the writing was on the wall for the decline of the Big 10.
