It's a close call. Certainly the intensity of HS football is greater in the South-particularly Alabama and Florida. In some areas there's really nothing else going on besides HS and college football , in terms of sports/entertainment.

But the SEC also -even for college football- plays fast and loose with regulations. Over the past 2-3 decades there's also been a population shift to the South which gives teams a larger pool to recruit from.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
