College football now in the age of nil really is like the stock market. Boom and busts and recoveries again. More so now than ever before. And every once in a while you have flashes in the pan like UW or TCU, just like hot stocks that eventually fell hard. Because you were once good before doesn’t mean as much now in this new world. Why can’t Georgia be the new Bama and go on a 10 year run or Ole Miss or LSU. Look at pro sports. All the dynasties fell eventually. College football had all the talent concentrated in basically 4 schools every year. But not anymore. We have all been through periods of our teams being irrelevant. Once the momentum goes the other way it takes a very long time for it to reverse. Especially in a portal world. Bama fans super naive to think this never was going to happen to them. Like patriots fans who never saw them have a losing season ever lol.
