And I dont' just have modern glassses on, I know that there have always been spurts of greatness along the way. But hell in the 90s you had a decade of 3 programs having that same elite status in FSU, UF, and Nebraska. ANy year could be one of those guys' years. YOu also had some really great programs behind them even if only for a year or 2 (teams like colorado, washington, etc). My point is, even if you thought FSU/UF/NU were the best team going into the season, you still felt like anyone in the top 10 had a shot at a title. Even if there was a small gap from the mega elites up top, you still had your OSU/Tennessee/etcs of the world that make things interesting. The last decade it feels like going into each season you have maybe 3 or 4 teams MAX that even have a remote chance.

The AFC has been the same way for the past 20 years with a team quarterbacked by Manning, Brady, and Big Ben representing the AFC in the Super Bowl in 15 out of the past 16 years yet I don't hear anywhere near the level of bitching that we do about Bama and Clemson running CFB.
