Why college football programs in southern states have more bowl game appearances

Here are the beginning the thoughts of two of seven.

It is very simple why college teams in the south make more bowl games than their counterparts in the north. It comes down to location. If you take a minute and think about where the bulk of the bowl games are played, you will see that there are very few in the northern states. All of the "marquee" bowl games are played in the southern states. The bowl committees want to bring in the schools that are close in proximity so that they can get more fans there and generate more revenue.

The only reason college football teams in southern states have more bowl appearances is because football teams in southern states are historically more dominant and consistent than those of the north.
