The Midwest is the new home of college football national champions

I'd be happier if one of my teams was in this list of Midwest champs, but still!

Yes, yes, yes. Great thread...Midwestern Football...we should all take pride in it, and I'm saying this as a Minnesotan who played for NDSU who now lives in Oklahoma. LOVE Midwest Football.

Now if they would just put the College Playoff Championship in Minneapolis, Indianapolis or Detroit

NIL took most of the financial cheating out of recruiting. What does 2 BIG National Championships tell you about what was going on in the South?

I find it hard to believe Ohio St has ever had been outspent by schools in the south, even pre-NIL

Transfer portal is a huge factor. Players buried on 2nd and 3rd string aren't hanging around waiting for their chance to play & get paid.

We need another B1G school to take it again next year, Penn state is coming back really strong, Oregon, etc

There's also this Midwest team in maroon and gold with a weird rodent mascot that would be fun to see challenge.

Yep, here's a list of all the champions. The Division I NJCAA national champions were from the Midwest too, Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. The Division III NJCAA champions were also from the Midwest, College of DuPage in Illinois.


PLUS, the Ohio State CLUB football team even won the national championship for the club college football level. So that's an FBS, FCS, DII, DIII, NAIA, NJCAA DI, NJCAA DIII and Club football sweep for the Midwest.
