I think that if that dominance were to continue other parts of the country would sooner or later just stop watching, making CFB a regional game, so maybe it is for the best.
I just don't see that happening. The great thing about college football is the tradition of the various schools. Northwestern people still flock to games even though they have been relevant for a few years over the last 20 years. There are many more examples I could use. The great thing about college football is the college part of it. Fans of college football that I know are just fans of the college game, in general. We all have our colleges, but we enjoy watching other colleges and other regions play the game.

Northwestern survives because of the Big Ten. It is a small school with a small fanbase. They get to share revenue, however, with Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Penn State (etc.).
Those are the schools and the fanbases that make the midwest the #2 region for CFB fandom in America. If the sport loses them, it will become a regional thing like baseball or hockey.
