Would be better to use an objective metric.
You mean the same objective metric that didn’t award UT the 1939 natty after shutting out every regular season opponent after winning the title on 1938. How does a defending champion not win it all again when they don’t even give up a point the following year and then win again in 1940?
Back then the south East was not a hot bed for college football. It was mainly schools from the north and out west/mid west that was getting all the attention.

That’s one way. A few others:
all years in which a school was awarded the NC by the majority of NCAA recognized selectors (ncaa record book shows this)
All years in which a school was awarded an NC by any NCAA recognized selectors (ncaa record book shows this)
Your method leads to things like UCF claiming the 2017 NC, which is just stupid.
