Bud Elliot the guy who started the whole blue chip ratio championship team said on Andy staples show only two teams have even come close and they were at 45 and 49 percent and both had 1st round qbs. Tcu never stood a chance with 16 blue chips

This has always been the case though. Someone mentioned it on the MSB but that’s a large part of why college football, for so long, was about winning your conference, winning your bowl game, and beating your rival. Hell, just doing the latter two often enough could keep a coach around for years even if their overall record was only okay. I’m not sure where the modern idea that CFB needs 20+ teams to be in legit national title contention for it to be a good sport came from.

Michigan’s roster is different they’d need a generational qb but mike Vick could probably win a title with a 40% team

Most seasons its 2-4 at most. Sometimes its 1 and #2 ain't close. There ain't nothing can be done about it, Nick Saban drew the blueprint and anyone who can pull it off can emulate that success to some degree....but pulling it off is where the rub is....has to start though stacking top 5 and preferably top 3 classes one atop another for 3 or more years...

The portal has been a massive boon for the PAC-12.
The odds are certainly stacked against since it’s dry as a bone as far as defensive front talent out west. Nobody tackles here.
That said, you get a generational QB and you can fill holes with the portal, it can create some parity.
I definitely think we see more variety in the playoffs.
Not unless you can find some defensive linemen who can run down 5 star QBs and Tailbacks from behind and shred 2 or more blockers without slowing down at all....those unicorns are RARE anywhere but outside a swath of the US from Florida to South Carolina and west to Louisiana they are almost unheard of....and Alabama and UGA will have them 5 and 6 deep most years.

The expanded playoff will only make this worse.
No teams with limited depth of top tier players have a chance in hell at making it through 3 additional games
Always going to be the most talented teams unless that team experiences a massive number of injuries (not isolated injuries but entire sides of the ball going down) but the 12 team playoff will at least give folks something to look forward to. There was a lot of talk this time last week about how TCU could upset UGA. It was ridiculous but it was mildly entertaining....and every once in a while someone will win in the first round who ought not to and it will happen in the second round also. It most likely ends there as it always has but it could be compelling for a minute....more so than the current post season system of meaningless bowls...
