The conferences have largely stayed the same but the blue blood programs in the other conferences outside of the SEC are down. USC and Texas are not playing at an elite level but that’s not a permanent thing. The Big Ten has population migration from the north to deal with but their new coaches recognize it and with as much money as that conference brings in, it will change eventually. The point is college football is largely cyclical. Alabama and Clemson are dominate now out that’s not a permanent position.When was it a regional sport? Before the mass consolidation of conferences which ate up some of them, the PAC-8; Big 8; Big Ten and the ACC all were top grade conferences with their teams vying for the National Championship.
I do believe that there will be even more consolidation in a few years.
