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).

A few things stand out here:
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.
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.
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%.
