Noticed folks saying that they wanted Miami to win since its southern. Honestly, there is nothing southern about Miami, maybe Cuban, but definitely not southern. On a sidenote, UM's campus sits by water in Coral Gables, which is absolutely beautiful.

Most of the metro areas in Florida aren't southern either. Not Orlando, Tampa, Key West. Maybe Jacksonville or Tallahassee a bit. I'm not counting Gainesville since its a college town.
 
It's not really southern if you think about it. I'd say FSU and UF are pretty much southern, but not like most SEC and ACC teams. In a post below I complained about the fact that the state of Florida has a football dynasty going, and it's all for a bunch of yankee fans.
 
Players from Southern states:
GT: 91
Miami: 61
BC: 11

(not including WV, OK, or MD as Southern states)

Half of the 61 are from Miami or a beach city in FL. Again, not really southern. Miami recruits too much nationally to be southern.

Well, shoot Let's give 'em a drank of corn, call 'em crackers, and recruit 'em for Georgie Tech.

there is nothing Southern about it, it is its own entity, heck, I can only imagine what Miami high school football is like, it must be intense. South Georgia, East Texas, Ohio whatever, none it is at that level
