If it takes you more than say 10-12 hours to drive from the two furthest away schools you're no longer really regional. You may be regional in the scope that you're in two or three regions ... but that's not strictly speaking regional. The only FBS conference that has stayed true to geography is the Mid-American Conference. Period. End of story. Nobody else is even close.

It's fair to call the Power Conferences "Super Regional" as they each represent large geographic areas that are still tied together by culture. IE the SEC represents the South, the B10 the North and the ACC and PAC the East and West Coasts (with obvious areas of overlap between the 3)
