In the top six we have:

-one team from Georgia
-one team from Michigan
-one team from Alabama
-one team from Ohio
-one team from Oklahoma
-one team from Indiana

From #7 to #15 we have:

-another team from Ohio
-a team from Mississippi
-a team from Texas
-a team from Oregon
-another team from Michigan
-a team from Utah
-a team from Iowa 
-another team from Oklahoma 
-a team from Pennsylvania 
-a team from North Carolina

This year I don't see any Southeastern dominance.  The Midwest and Southwest look pretty strong.  And then when you look at television ratings the B1G and the Big 12 do really well. The Michigan Wolverines played in the two most watched games this season so far.  The Game played just this past Saturday dwarfs all others in viewers.

Come to think of it I'm not sure I get the ESPN college football business model.  Back when it leaked that Oklahoma and Texas were moving to the SEC I recall Tony Kornheiser praising the move. He said the SEC is smart and the other P5 conferences are all stupid. Then he called the Pac12 a bag of bones. That was of course a crazy thing to say, and he offended a lot of people.

Now cut to Lincoln Riley's announcement that he is taking his talents to USC, and on Monday Kornheiser says this could be a tectonic shift in the college football landscape. Kornheiser suddenly looks worried about his beloved SEC, or maybe it's just shock. Perhaps the SEC going after Oklahoma and Texas and destroying the Big 12 in the process wasn't such a good idea after all?  This was a great year for the Big 12 with Baylor and Oklahoma State playing great football and Oklahoma winning 10 games as well. But the conference is facing a daunting future and for what?  More money?  This is college football. That's not smart.  And the Pac 12 is not a bag of bones.

Go Cuse!!
