Tennessee
Texas
Or Nebraska

All three have great past, but have obviously fallen off in recent times. All three will have new coaching regimes being started, but Texas has a year head start. Which one does tRant think will make it back to top relevancy first?

ETA: For all those upset I called Tennessee a blue-blood, I needed a word for successful programs in the past that have fallen off. UT being called a blue blood wasn't the point of the thread. Carry-on.

Of those 3 Texas seems to be the easy choice to me.

I have zero faith that nebraska will make it any time soon but may have an easier path.

Tenn is the wildcard, I can see them eventually (years from now) being the best team of the 3 of them, but wiht having to face bama/uga/uf every year plus someone in the SECCG to make it to the playoffs they have by far the hardest path.

Easily Texas.

Easiest conference? Check.
Most money? Check.
Most homegrown talent? Check.
Best coach of the 3? Check.

Nebraska easily:

-Easier division, a better coach, and a conference that is more respected by the committee

Nebraska
Texas
Tennessee

The only team that could routinely give them trouble in their division is Wisconsin (and occasionally Iowa).

Note: I don't think any of these three will make the CFP in the next.. 5 years.. at least.

Nebraska/Scott Frost.
By a wide margin.
Arguably one of the best hires made by any team in several years.

I vote for Texas, not based on history but because I think they're further down the road than the other 2. I think Texas has a shot at being very good this year

Honestly, while crazy things happen, Texas has to be favored by a country mile in this hypothetical. Nebraska is likely to be the first blue-blood (if it really is that, I'd say that's questionable) to fall out of the blue-blood ranks in decades. UT has nothing exciting going for it right now, and no solid foundation (like, say, Texas recruiting grounds or just a big-name coach) for the future. Texas really is the only one of the three that looks like it could ascend to the top again any time soon. Not saying they will, just that the pieces are there.

One of those isn't like the other two.

Tennessee is no where close to being a blue blood.
