USC if they keep up what they are doing, will compare favorably with FSU of the nineties for consistency at the top.....the number pac 10 titles may rival the numver ACC titles as well as top 10 finishes.....
but, as for this decade, the dominating stories should be:
1. USC 2. the SEC 3. OSU and OK--OK has been very impressive, but they fall in to the same category as OSU...both have one title, both have played for others...both have been embarrassed in title games....but in the end, both have been pretty darn consistent this decade....at the top of their respective conferences, always around the top 10 etc.... |
In terms of FSU, I was thinking of that run of Top 5 finishes. What was it, something like 15 in a row? Point is, in early to mid November they were always in the thick of the discussion of who would end up playing for the national title. They were always one of the teams in that scenario. They may not have always gotten in, or won when they did. But you could count on them having a say in it.
I just don't see anyone having that same weight right now. USC seems to me to be closest to that level. Ohio State needs to get in there some more and, more importantly, demonstrate that its not just a function of beating up on a relatively weak Big Ten that got them there.
Oklahoma had its run with Switzer and chanllenged Nebraska quite often, but for whatever reason I always perceived Nebraska to be the more consistent of the two.
