How I see the future of college football

Obviously things will not play out exactly how I see things since things never go exactly as planned no matter what anyone thinks for their own vision of the future.
1: We will see some northern programs that dominated college football for over a half of a century start to rise again (Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State) and will start to win some national titles again.
2: Oregon is going to continue to be a program to compete at a very high level for the next decade or more. Their head coach isn't going to go anywhere unless he wants a shot at the NFL and their brand is growing nationally and starting to pull in studs from the deep south.
3: The old powers of Texas and USCw will rise to become nationally elite again. Texas is expanding their recruiting nationally, especially into Florida, and that is going to pay off big time as they rebuild.
4: The SEC will continue to have at least one team compete for a national title on most seasons. There is too much high school talent in the deep south for this not to be the case.
5: I am not sure if Miami is going to be able to get out of the gutter in the next few years. At some point and time that will change, but it could be 10 or 15 years from now?
The SEC had a great run over the last several years and it is no shame in seeing that end. Nothing in college football stays the same forever.

Riveting, original thoughts.

There are no guarantees for Miami. Horrible fan support.
Same for Nebraska, though I know that pains you to hear. The national profile of all schools across the country has risen to where brand-awareness isn't restricted to the top programs of yesteryear. Nebraska got out in front early but now everyone has more to offer. No one comes from or wants to play in Nebraska. And my no one I obviously mean, not enough of those people required to climb back on top.

I see Kentucky rising to become a superpower in the East, running up and down the field on whatever patsy the West vomits forth onto the field in Atlanta.
Mark Stoops riding around in a gold-plated Cadillac, recruits being purchased in mass quantity, national championships becoming routine with the only question being "how many in a row."

so, the sec will send at least 1 team to the playoff, and oregon and some other perennial powers, who have recent success or have hired big shots, will send the others ...

The SEC had a great run that involved great coaches, great players, good timing, traditional powers being down, and some luck.
The SEC is still the best conference talentwise, but there are some great coaches in other conferences, and the QB play in the SEC was horrible this year.

What's interesting is that the SEC is judged against all other conferences. No single conference is close, IMO.
For a while it was SEC vs. World and SEC was winning. That is changing, but I don't think anyone will be knocking off the SEC as top conference anytime soon.

How I read it. Riveting.

.... that's such a dumbass thing to post.
Nebraska has some of the most loyal, finest, fans in the country bar none. Perhaps the best. Definitely up there in the top five in terms of long-lived supportive fan bases.

Perhaps I could have been clearer, but perhaps you could have included some of the context I provided afterwards to know what I meant before calling it a dumbass post. I'm saying neither of them have guarantees to bounce back to previous glory. Didn't mean nebraska doesn't have fan support.

Its going to take a lot. They only have 4 commits in the Florida Top 50 this year so far. Florida State has 10. Throw on top of that every program in the country knows about the Miami area talent now.

- Texas is in deeper shite than your alluding to. Program is a mess. I don't see Strong there very long.
- Nebraska just hired a guy that has not won shite and is not known for recruiting that well. Which is what they need. Should have hired Paul Johnson IMO if not an elite recruiter.
- Michigan will be good. Will recruit very well.
- Michigan will take some of their recruits away. Need to build a pipeline to the south. But I like Franklin.
- OSU will be good. ugh.
- Oregon is here as long as they don't have a season where everything blowsup in their face. Not sure if I like Helfrich all that much, looks like a dweeby cop.
that's all I got to say.

I actually love this crap when people express themselves... Let me assure you that Texas is a loooooooong way from reviving their program. They hired a coach based on his ability to bow to the politically correct domination that is all of U.T. That is why he got the job... not because he's a great coach, which he is. And now, his emphasis is more on the P.C. intangibles than on the process of winning games. The U.T. crowd is jealous of Missouri because Missouri had the openly gay pub. This pisses U.T. off because they see themselves as open minded trend setters and they'd rather have 22 homosexuals playing football than to win 11 games... I promise.

Nebraska probably has the worst outlook in terms of a traditional power. They just downgraded their coach.
