For reasons described my previous post, I've split up the country by Division and Regions. As previously stated, conference affiliations are not considered and Rankings are from the period 2015 thru 2019. Here are States in each Region by Division. P5 North California Colorado Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Maryland Mass Michigan Minnesota Missouri Nebraska New Jersey New York Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Utah Washington West Virginia Wisconsin P5 South Alabama Arizona Arkansas Florida Georgia Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi North Carolina Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia G5 North California Colorado Connecticut Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Nevada New York Ohio Pennsylvania Utah West Virginia Wyoming G5 South Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi New Mexico North Carolina Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia FCS North California Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Maine Maryland Massachusetts Missouri Montana New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Dakota Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Dakota Utah Washington FCS South Alabama Arizona Arkansas Florida Georgia Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia D2 East Alabama Connecticut Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Kentucky Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Mississippi New Hampshire New York North Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania South Carolina Tennessee Virginia West Virginia D2 West Arkansas California Colorado Iowa Kansas Minnesota Missouri Nebraska New Mexico North Dakota Oklahoma Oregon South Dakota Texas Utah Washington D3 East Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Georgia Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont Virginia West Virginia D3 West Alabama Arkansas California Illinois Indiana Iowa Kentucky Louisiana Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Nebraska Oregon Tennessee Texas Washington Wisconsin NAIA East Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Kentucky Michigan Missouri North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia NAIA West Arizona Idaho Iowa Kansas Montana Nebraska North Dakota Oregon South Dakota RANKINGS P5 #TEAMS REGION Avg Rank Avg Pwr Top 10% Avg Rnk Top 10% Avg Pwr Bottom 10% Avg Rnk Bottom 10% Avg Pwr 32 South 41.6 117.80 4.3 132.55 75.4 109.29 33 North 47.0 116.27 9.0 128.97 112.8 102.02 G5 #TEAMS REGION Avg Rank Avg Pwr Top 10% Avg Rnk Top 10% Avg Pwr Bottom 10% Avg Rnk Bottom 10% Avg Pwr 31 North 100.6 104.74 48.3 114.93 157.5 95.13 34 South 116.2 101.94 48.7 114.85 188.5 90.31 FCS #TEAMS REGION Avg Rank Avg Pwr Top 10% Avg Rnk Top 10% Avg Pwr Bottom 10% Avg Rnk Bottom 10% Avg Pwr 67 North 214.0 88.00 96.9 104.97 364.9 70.33 59 South 242.9 84.24 127.1 99.37 406.1 66.35 D2 #TEAMS REGION Avg Rank Avg Pwr Top 10% Avg Rnk Top 10% Avg Pwr Bottom 10% Avg Rnk Bottom 10% Avg Pwr 69 West 328.2 74.83 165.0 93.69 537.0 53.97 98 East 386.5 68.55 210.2 87.56 582.6 48.98 D3 #TEAMS REGION Avg Rank Avg Pwr Top 10% Avg Rnk Top 10% Avg Pwr Bottom 10% Avg Rnk Bottom 10% Avg Pwr 109 West 581.4 47.04 326.5 74.29 745.2 20.31 128* East 584.9 47.56 390.8 67.83 735.7 24.50 NAIA #TEAMS REGION Avg Rank Avg Pwr Top 10% Avg Rnk Top 10% Avg Pwr Bottom 10% Avg Rnk Bottom 10% Avg Pwr 45 West 524.6 54.17 323.8 74.62 694.5 34.55 49 East 529.5 53.97 302.7 76.65 697.4 34.90

I've been attempting to mathematically show which areas of the country are best at football. As Floridians, we fundamentally believe the best college ball is played in the South. And obviously with the likes of Clemson, Alabama and LSU, it's very hard for others to dispute. But while attempting to validate this, I ran into a bit of a snag. As you can see above, the distribution of football playing colleges throughout the US is completely unbalanced. There are over 200 more colleges playing football east of the Mississippi River than there are to the west of it. If we dig into it further, there are "holes" found all over the map showing major imbalances depending on the level of football being discussed. For example, in New England, there are 58 colleges playing football but only one (Boston College) plays at the P5 level. In NY, NJ, Pennsylvania, Delaware there are another 96 football schools, 4 of which play P5 football. So out of the 154 colleges in the Northeastern US, only 5 play big time P5 football. This leaves 60 P5 schools for the rest of the country, 22 of which can be found in the traditional south. So I found the map to be geographically biased towards selected areas of the country. To compound matters, the more regions I used, the worse the situation became. So I decided to categorize each region and distribute the teams as fairly as possible trying to keep the number of teams and areas "balanced." The comparisons will be divided as follows: P5 (North/South), G5 (North/South), FCS (North/South), D2 (East/West), D3 (East/West), NAIA (East/West). To do this, I was required to completely disregard Conferences. So please keep that in mind because it will mess you up. The data will be shown on my next post.

Here is a breakdown of all 768 (4 year) college football teams by state. I also created several maps that display a perfect visual of what I'm trying to show and discuss but unfortunately the files are a bit too large for me to post here. I'm pretty upset about it but maybe someone can educate me. It says I'm only allowed to post 81K. Help anyone?

Here are some college FB numbers to chew on. This is my overall 5 Yr (2015-19) conference ranking for 4 year colleges. The member ranking represents the average final ranking of each conference's teams among all 768 teams. This is purely mathematical and unbiased. And yes, I have categorized P5 and G5 conferences separately for reasons to be revealed at a later date.

Actually it is Jefferson County who comes in at 0.387. Followed by FAMU (0.435), Flanagan (0.493) and then Nease (0.519). Jupiter Christian is actually 0.602 over the past twenty seasons.

Here is a chart showing the 2019 weekly power rating performance of our state's FBS teams. What's interesting to note are the trend lines. While schools like Florida, USF and FIU remained static throughout the season, the others display "cross-over" points. For example, the data shows that even though UCF blew out FAU at the beginning of the year, if they were to play again at the end of the season, the game should be much, much closer with FAU possibly winning. The same is true for Miami and FSU. The reverse happens with Florida and Miami. It shows that despite their first game being close, if the Gators and 'Canes played again at year's end, the Gators would have probably hammered them.

Hey Peezy! Nah, just plain ol' Excel. I'm in the Geritol club, remember? I can't keep up with all you whippersnappers and your new technology. LOL Actually, I have heard of it but I've never even seen it in action, let alone use it. Happy New Year! You were missed at the state championships.

To properly do so, one would have to assume the county populations were constant over the past 57 years. I don't believe they were but using the current census, here's a chart showing the population required by county to win a title. I believe it's similar to what you're looking for.

I'll be going into greater detail on my site in a couple of weeks. But here is the championship data from 1963-2019 by County Size and by title appearances Public and Private.
