Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5133608, member: 1145"] You are correct about Houston - unless it gets into the SEC. But you are wrong your equal regionalism. Just because places are on a map does not mean enough people living there care about CFB to have even 1 school from that region. Much less the same number as regions that do watch CFB in large numbers and do reduce a lot of top players. Holy Cross is actually the most 'traditional' opponent of BCM, and that matters much less than Zero in keeping the SCC alive and reasonably competitive at the top. On the other hand, large school Cincinnati is Louisville's most played rival in both revenue sports, is located in a TV market that dearly loves CFB and produces very large number to top players. So that rivalry can matter positively for the ACC. As can having the Backyard Brawl. And rivalries among TX schools. [/QUOTE]
