How did the Federal Reserve districts fare in CFB this season?
Post Body

The Federal Reserve system in the US consists of 12 banks, each of which is responsible for, among other things, monitoring economic and financial conditions in a region of the country (map here). But how did the FBS schools in each region fare this year? Here is a list of FBS schools by their assigned Fed bank, and some basic statistics by district:

  • Boston: Boston College, Connecticut, Massachusetts
  • New York: Army, Buffalo, Rutgers, Syracuse
  • Philadelphia: Penn State, Temple

  • Atlanta: Alabama, Auburn, Central Florida, Florida, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Southern, Georgia State Georgia Tech, Louisiana-Lafayette, LSU, Miami (FL), Middle Tennessee State, South Alabama, South Florida, Southern Miss, Tennessee, Troy, Tulane, UAB, Vanderbilt
  • Chicago: Ball State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan, Michigan State, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Purdue, Western Michigan, Wisconsin

    San Francisco 21 137 134 0.506 2 2 0 0 0

A few things stand out here:

  1. College football is heavily concentrated in the South and on the coasts. We knew this, of course, but a 23:1 ratio of the most to least CFB teams seems really big.

  2. The Atlanta district cleaned house. It's the biggest, but that it is home to four conference champions (UGA, UCF, FAU, Troy), two CFP participants (UGA and Bama), and two National Champions (Bama and UCF) is still an impressive feat.

  3. I found the lack of success in the Dallas region surprising. You'd expect the district that houses all of Texas to have at least one conference champion or a winning percentage better than 44%.
