re: The Top 25 jobs in College Football

It's a cliche but it really is mostly cyclical, at least until this point. Most of the schools with great history and fan support end up being successful again one way or another. There are outliers like all the Florida schools who burst onto the scene in the 80's and 90's due to external influences, theirs being major population growth in the state. Oregon is another example, but they also have a different set external influences that will stimulate their growth as a program.

Traditionally, college football has been dominated by a few select programs that possessed all the necessary tools to be successful. However, college football is more popular as a whole than it has ever been, and I think more outliers will emerge as a result of the sport's massive growth. I know the SEC gets a vast share of the best recruits, but I think eventually there will be much more parity than before, especially with the inevitable expansion of the playoff system in the next few years.
