Kelee Ringo, Brock Bowers, Darnell Washington and Kendall Milton all have something in common: They are West Coast guys playing for a school in the Deep South.
On Monday, when their Georgia Bulldogs meet TCU in the national championship game, the four players can help continue a reign of dominance unseen in the history of the sport: No matter what happens Monday, teams from the Southeastern region of the United States or the state of Texas will have won 17 of the last 18 college football titles.
The latest championship will unfold within $6 billion SoFi Stadium located in the heart of the West Coast’s crown jewel, Los Angeles. The South and Texas are here to plant their proverbial flag: They own the sport.
