Take Alabama out of the SEC, and the perception goes down substantially. I think the SEC and Big Ten are very equal top to bottom otherwise. The SEC also gets a big lift in perception from ESPN. To me there's only about 3-4 programs who can replace and or compete with Bama and Clemson. As a Canes fan I'm obviously biased but anyone who has followed college football knows and understands Miami can be Miami again once they hired the guy. Manny Diaz is the guy. USC...again because of tradition and recruiting could be in that category if they ever decided to compete again. Lastly I still think Ohio St can be another program. Otherwise....until Saban retires and Dabo stays at Clemson until Saban retires it's going to be those 2 in Final 4 every year until another program or two steps up.

Florida is in that group before Miami is... but I do think Miami is in that group. I would include Oklahoma as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruiting in Florida goes in cycles more than any other state in the country. Right now....and I'm not sure how closely you follow....Florida isn't in the same air. No other way to say it. Yes...Florida beat them last week. Canes also have 3 frosh Oline starters with a QB who was 1-3 for 17 yards last year. Point is this. Canes are extremely young and coming. The elite South Florida talent is starting to stay home (check recruiting rankings) and not head to Bama....so the early signals are all pointing to Coral Gables. In terms of history. Canes are still the Canes. Bama run they are on now is just now entering what Canes did from 83-92....and if it wasn't for a BCS model and aTerry Porter call the Canes would have run off 3 titles in a row from 00-02 instead of just 1. Florida and Urban won 2 titles because of 1 guy. Kudos to them but that's their only real run. Spurrier was great (and I'm a fan) but 1 title only. Gators haven't had the "it" factor for about a decade. Mullen isn't the guy to bring it back. Good conversation though. I don't get to talk Florida high school and college football talk much.

Leathernecks Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Not sure if Vandy will play the 2nd half against Purdue or if they have shot themselves in the foot too many times to be able to walk.

Pretty big win for Locksley out of the gates at Maryland. Despite some personal issues the guy can recruit and if he gets a good staff they could be back in short order.

Seeking6 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Army/Michigan tied up with 7 to go in the Big House. All due respect to Army, their kids and what they stand for.

This Maryland team appears to be a bit more mature, and early on at least, doing decent with handling some success. Locksley didn't exactly inherit a bad situation from a talent standpoint either.
