Have any college teams been elite (perennial top 5-10) for 20 straight years? We all know that success is cyclical. We were in that category for maybe 12-13 years (89-01). Georgia has been up and down. Maybe they have been solid for 10-12 years max. Bama close to a 15 year run of dominance with Saban but prior to him they were bad for a decade. Florida has had some runs, but had some bad seasons in between. Nebraska couldn’t sustain their top rankings. USC started to decline after 10 years or so. Florida State? Ouch. I guess what I’m getting at is “can we count on the end of a teams life cycle after x number of years? Will Bama be at the top forever and ever or will the law of averages catch up with them just like everyone else? Is 15-20 years kind of the max? Is there hope that the stock of the elites will start declining and our stock will start trending up?
