If you want to know the future, study history.
Normally, yes. But, the dramatic shift will be the % of TV revenue sharing. That immediately negates the SEC’s previous financial advantage and arms premier B1G schools with a larger payroll. Sankey better get to work.

Exactly....not to mention that Texas won theirs while in two Romper Room Conferences.
When Texas won NCs during the '60s during white boy football...
The SWC was pretty strong.
In 2005 they beat your USC team which was being compared to the all time greatest teams in what was basically a road game.
Their titles are pretty much legit(given the times) other than the 1970 title where they lost the CB to Notre Dame... but the UPI still didn't have an after bowl poll and wouldn't until Bama won their '73 regular season "title".

What indication have we been given that Michigan belongs on this list?

UGA and LSU are bluebloods before Texas. All have the same number of NCs, with UGA and LSU more recent
If national championships were the only thing that make a blue blood, this statement would be true. Unfortunately for you, its not.
Yes championships are a criteria, but not the whole pie. Other categories include all time wins and winning percentage. Texas is tied with ND at #4 with 948 total wins (LSU is #17 with 806 and Georgia #11 with 881). Texas sits at #7 with a .702 W%. Georgia sits at #13 with a .666 W% and LSU at #14 with a .654 W%.

Much of Texas' lead over UGA comes from pre-poll era results.
Since the AP poll began in 1936, UGA has 7 more wins than Texas has.
Texas leads in winning percentage 68.8% to 68.574%.
In fact, UGA is 5th in wins since the AP poll came into existence, behind only OU, Bama, OSU and PSU. UGA will likely pass PSU in that metric this upcoming year.
UGA's records weren't that great in the 1920's and prior. Some part of that came from the fact UGA played a lot of road games against the Ivy league powers of that time. mostly against Yale who was a national power in the early years of college football.
But in the era of national football polling, you could argue UGA is a blueblood.

I would argue UGA is a blue blood. LSU, not yet. My post was just in response to the Bama poster taking a jab.

and the question in the OP was about the next 5-10 years..
Texas should be floating around the Top 10 for the next 5-10 years..
1) Better coaching
2) Better development
3) NIL
4) Revenue sharing will hurt a lot of teams, but it shouldn't hurt Texas
Perhaps it doesn't work out that way, but Sark has built a great roster that should stay competitive for a while.
inb4: yeah, but Sark will be hitting the sauce soon, if he isn't already

Horseshite and arbitrary. Make up your own criteria to make yourself feel relevant.

The East was at arguably its worst in this conference’s history and you still couldn’t win the division
We were part of the reason the East was bad. IDK why either one of you is acting like we were UGA decked out in bridesmaid attire every year. We had one good season under Butch and that was owed to Dobbs and Derek Barnett covering up a host of problems on either side of the ball.

It’s gotten bad enough that I couldn’t blame anyone for believing that.

Greetings, fellow Volunteers enthusiasts!
As we reflect on the current state of our beloved Tennessee football team, it's imperative that we delve beyond mere wins and losses, and instead, focus on the intricacies that define our team's trajectory. Allow me to share some nuanced observations and insights:

Whether it's tweaking offensive formations or refining defensive schemes, our coaching cadre demonstrates a keen understanding of the game's strategic nuances.

From charitable initiatives to active engagement with fans, our team epitomizes the ethos of servant leadership, enriching the lives of those both within and beyond our fan base.

Much of Texas' lead over UGA comes from pre-poll era results.
You know this also applies to UF/UGA, right?

Yep. UGA was 11-2-1 against UF prior to the advent of the AP poll.
In the poll era, UGA's lead over UF is just 2 games.
That's why the series is seen as a rivalry by both sides. While it's a series of streaks by one side or the other, overall it's been pretty evenly matched.

I was responding to his claim that during Butch’s reign that Tennesse would’ve made a dent in a weaker conference. The East was absolute trash while Butch was at Tennessee. Arguably the weakest the division has ever been, and Tennessee still didn’t win the division so his claim was moronic was my only point.
