Do you think there is a correlation between the best college football and pockets of the economy. Example: Florida school go gangbusters during real estate bubble, then go down when it pops. The rust belt schools, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Penn State take a dive as that economy tanks, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma do well during the oil boom. We take a dive during the textile debacle and are now coming back as our economy diversifies. Alabama and Auburn come roaring back as Ag prices improve. Gamecocks get better being in a "government" town during the Obama administration. Oregon and Stanford come on in tech boom. Maybe conference affiliation is not as important as being in the right local economy. Anything to this in light of the LSU post earlier?
