The last 7-8 years…. Yes. If you are talking historically…. No.
I can only speak for Cali who is top heavy. Nobody in Texas would currently come within 21 points of our top 2 teams. But overall, Texas has better football than Cali. People in Cali are apathetic to the sport. I assess a state by considering the overall quality of every team, not just the top couple of teams. The average neighborhood high school team in Cali is going to play mediocre football and would be lucky to get 1000 people to come to a game on any given Friday. In Texas, the local community comes out to support their team, and usually the level of play is pretty good, regardless of the team. I lived in Texas for 3 years in the 90s so I have witnessed this myself.
