College Football Dynasties

[WearGoldToGameDays]

So I'm pretty new to college football (and this community), but do you guys think the talent gap between big and small programs will eventually lead to a few elite schools that dominate every year?

I would say sometime in the 1990s.

Eventually?

No. That talent gap has always been there. There is still an ebb and flow (with exception to elite coaches like Saban and Meyer).
USCw used to dominate, but they've been average since Carroll left.
Nebraska used to dominate under Osborne, but now they're average/above average.
FSU used to dominate under Bowden, then they became average under Bowden, then they started to dominate again under Jimbo, but now they're just above average.
Miami used to dominate, but lately they've been average.
Alabama is dominating now, but prior to Saban, they were pretty average.

Some institutes/universities allow for more success than others (e.g. Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, USCw), but you still need a great coach to pull it off. The coach is quite valuable in college football ... hence the annual coaching carousel where schools attempt to find the next Meyer/Saban/Carroll/Osborne-type of coach.

I dont understand why this narrative is so pervasive. Lotta folks don't know much about the prior 100 yrs of college football.

I was probably learning how to walk when FSU had it's Bowden dynasty, so thanks for the insight!
