Certain teams like Ole Miss, MSU, Kentucky, Vandy and so on, simply exist so that they can be kinda good, but never great. Their job is to prop up the premiere schools in the league, so that those schools can go on to achieve greatness.

Alabama, Florida, LSU, and the other top teams have to stand on the shoulders of someone.

Those schools I listed will never win a national championship in our lifetimes. Effectively, they only ever play for pride. So, whether it's a school on probation or not -- there is never anything more at stake than just that.

I thought people knew this by now? This is the way the game has been and always will be.

Death penalty isn't happening but it will be equivalent to mid 2000s Bama where you will wish the program were dead and could just start over. Our talent level back then was literally at about a Vandy or Mizzou level.

This was never more evident than in the BCS era. Every year these schools were propped up in the rankings, just to bolster the Bamas and Ohio States of the world when they beat them. When SoS started to count, those teams suddenly got higher rankings

what a loser/victim mentality. Y'all should get Kathy Griffin to be your mascot.
For 2 years Ole Miss was good enough to beat Bama. That means they were good enough to beat anybody in the country. Instead they lost to teams like Memphis. Not sure how that's the fault of the system. That's mentality. And you're displaying it perfectly.
