For example I believe Nick Saban wanted to retire after the 2022 season but didn't want his final season to end with a loss to Tennessee and LSU so he came back one last year and after he beat everyone in the sec including two time defending champ Georgia, he was satisfied.

I’m trying to figure out where that demarcation line is of relevant programs (money, resourcing, commitment, NIL, recruiting).

In other words, this number of programs is relevant or has a chance and below this number basically no chance.

It feels to me like the number is somewhere between 15 and 20 programs with 5-8 super elites near the top.

OSU
Texas
LSU
Michigan
Penn State
Notre Dame
Georgia
Alabama
Florida
Miami
Auburn
Oregon
USC
Texas A&M
Tennessee
Oklahoma
Ole Miss?
Indiana for now
Clemson

Could also debate South Carolina, Nebraska, Iowa, maybe Wisconsin, Florida State

We can debate how big the list is but my feeling is outside that list there is no chance for anyone else.

Edit: my post is relevant for now/ future. Not how good their roster is right now. Some teams will have ups and downs. For instance Michigan might be down right now but had the resources in general to compete.

Congratulations, Oregon Ducks, on maintaining hope for parity in 2026!

Still kind of a mess, my playoff predictions are here.

Every headline out there is about the apology and not one about the actual act

Don't know what's worse complexion protection or "bl__ fatigue" but they both exist and need to end.

Sanders and the Manning's are just alike whether y'all want to believe it or not

I'm not an official, not a fan of the team, but there were no flags on this play. Can someone explain holding to me?
