College football is cyclical.

Miami, Florida State, and Florida can not be on the top at the same time. Impossible.

The State of Florida has more talent than anywhere and it can't support success to all three at the same time. They recruit from the same pool. Impossible for all of them to be elite at the same time.

In the SEC, still, there is an elite...Alabama, LSU, Florida, Georgia...but again, those teams aren't always elite at the same time. Before Alabama rose up, Florida was at the top, before Florida, it as LSU. Georgia has consistently been in tier two for a while now. Always in the mix, but never elite. Georgia is always in the mix for the same players as UF and Alabama. When UF is up, Georgia or Bama isn't. When Bama is up, Georgia or Florida isn't, it is how the world of CFB works when you are working with a depreciating resource (athletes). Only enough for them to go around.

correction- Florida doesn't have more talent,it just has more fast players from chasing rabbits around in sugar cane fields.

My bad when you use words like "all" I assume that's what you mean.

I feel bad for Washington state and Colorado though. then again, they have never not had some success.

LOL Washington State scores a lot more now though with the new/recent coach

A Mike Leach team scoring a lot? That is absurd!

I know why they do. I just forgot his name and wasn't clicking all over just to finish a stupid post

Guess for some people, it doesn't matter how much glamour a job has. Good job for Petersen to pick Washington, but I really did think this thread was a joke when I saw it. In college, it seems that each school is a stepping stone to the elite schools, and you'd think Petersen would have gone to USC or elsewhere by now.

College football is cyclical.

At the risk of stating obvious ... there's also the fact that these teams have to play each other 9 times every year and one of the teams has to lose.


Pac 12 has 9 games skedgels and a conference championship game ... Not everybody can be "top 30" at the same time. There's definitely a case to be made for the Pac 12 as the second-best conference (or even the best), and Petersen is definitely a huge boost for the league, but I think most agreed it had already surpassed the Big 12. I think any potential rise of Washington will be canceled out by the inevitable decline of some of these other resurgent programs, ala UCLA or Stanford.

I seem to remeber the Canes, Gators and Noles all being top 10 teams in the early 2000s, although I could be wrong.

Kind of a crude visual, especially since it includes the vacated wins for FSU, but it's what is readily available. Miami is on the bottom.

But I don't think the Miami/FSU/Florida hierarchy can be directly compared to the Pac 12 pecking order for obvious reasons.
