Big 12-SEC dominance continues
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida and Oklahoma will tussle to determine a national champion in Miami Thursday night, but one thing already has been determined:
They represent the two most powerful conferences in the country.
The Southeastern Conference and Big 12 have taken over college football … in the short term, and perhaps in the long term as well. With the exception of occasional incursions by USC and Ohio State, the two leagues own the joint.
They’ve got the hardware: Representatives of those conferences have won three straight national titles (Texas, Florida and LSU), heading for a fourth. The SEC is trying for its own three-peat. At least one team from the Big 12 or SEC has appeared in six straight championship games.
