last did in '02.
SEC with 8 of those plus Southern Cal, Texas, and FSU.
Also of note is that since the inception of the BCS in 1998, of the 32 participants in the title game only 7 schools are from north of that line.

More like its fricking cold up there and you have a choice in where you go out of HS.
That and the manufacturing jobs left from up there as well, population migrated further south for work and weather.

There are about 38 million AAs in the US. 30 million of them live south of the Mason-Dixon, and nearly half of them live in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.

There are places in this country where there isnt a registered black person within 100 miles in any direction.
The vast majority of them are concentrated in a relatively small area in the south, southeast, southern California and New York City. There are only about 5 million blacks who live outside of those areas.
Thats why southern schools dominate, because the best athletes wanna stay home.

Stop with the racial bullshite, Wisconsin made it to the final four and you are not going to find a paler sports team in the country outside of college baseball.
If you had the choice between the frozen tundra of Ohio or the sunny beaches of Florida, you are going north, right?
No.

It has nothing to do with color and everything to do with culture. Jamaica produces an outrageous number of world class sprinters - it's not because they're black. It's because in Jamaica, sprinting is on the level of SEC football (the entire Island is obsessed with it and every child wants to be a sprinter). In the Deep South, HS football is far more popular than elsewhere and to the point where it's obsessional compared to most places.
Now that TN is catching up in terms of funding HS football/training preps: guess what? We're going through an unprecedented in-state talent boom and we'll likely start catching up to other states. Imagine that. Some states we'll never catch because we're small population wise but some we will.

No.
The top basketball players rarely stay close to home. For instance, in 2013 of the Rivals top 150 basketball players only 39 stayed in the state they graduated HS. Contrast that to the Rivals 100 in FB for 2013 where 69 players stayed in state.
Football players typically stay close to home, especially when there is a big program close to home. The best HS football players are, on average, black and there are a lot more black high schoolers in the south. Its pretty simple.
Basketball is also different in that great shooting and fundamentals will beat athleticism pretty regularly due to the nature of the game. The team with more raw talent wins football games a large majority of the time. Nobody is ever gonna make a run at the CFB title these days with a majority white roster.
