re: Has a region of the country ever dominated CFB for this long?

Exactly. Ever since 1998 when college football started determining it's national champion on the field instead of in a voting booth the South/Southeast section of the country has been dominate in winning 21 of 24 national titles including 14 by the SEC. And that's with 6 different SEC programs. If you take out Alabama (6 NC's in the playoff era) the rest of the SEC still has 8 national titles. That's twice as many as any other conference in that same 24 year period.

^^^This is the correct answer- it's no coincidence that southern dominance (specifically SEC dominance) coincides with the movement away from "beauty pageant" and towards winning it on the field.

It's always meant more. Now we have a platform that proves we play better football than everyone else.
