It can’t be ignored. For all the talk and praise of the Southeastern Conference’s dominance in football after capturing seven consecutive BCS national championships and barely falling short of an eighth, the point has been completely missed. Forget conference affiliation – it’s merely a symptom of a trend that has been bubbling beneath the surface for some time.
The SEC isn’t dominant in football – the South as a whole is.
In the 16 years of the BCS’ existence only two non-Southern programs have won a national title, and it was Ohio State’s upset victory over the Miami Hurricanes in 2003 and USC’s blowout of Oklahoma in 2005. The other 14 seasons boasted champions from below the Mason-Dixon Line regardless of conference affiliation. A sample size of nearly two decades with one region of the United States winning a national championship 87.5% of the time is far too strong to be considered an anomaly.
To make matters worse, the two non-Southern teams to finish atop the college world, Ohio State and USC, both possess rich in-state talent, allowing them a built-in advantage in stemming the Southern tide that other Northern programs simply do not possess. Notre Dame must fight nationally to fill its roster spots – Ohio State and USC can do most of their talent digging in their own backyard. What, then, is a program like Notre Dame to do to counter such a developing trend?
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick utilized the university’s unique position as an independent to form a partnership with the ACC conference. In addition to finding a home for Notre Dame’s Olympic sports and securing access to the ACC’s bowl tie-ins, the alliance with the ACC allows Notre Dame a foothold in fertile Southern recruiting grounds and increased exposure to Southern audiences, highlighted by a likely nationally televised night game in Tallahassee against defending national champions, Florida State.
In addition to gaining exposure to the South, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly has made significant strides in netting the pool of talent from Southern areas producing the very best athletes.

 

Well I personally have nothing against Notre Dame.....I actually like them due to my family heritage from Ireland. But ........even with the ACC affiliation they will struggle against Southern schools with recruiting. We drink sweet tea, eat grits and like gravy on our biscuits. I'm sure this isn't offered in the sports complex menu at Notre Dame.

 

Lolololololololol.

You like big buts?

 

68 days till kickoff

 

oh don't be fooled biscuits and gravy are pretty well known up north. I agree ND has a lot of work to do to get back to the early days of sweet lou but it may be an interesting year if Golson has a solid year. Hopefully the Seminoles will be undefeated when Golson and company comes to Doak and give them their first loss
