Oregon made a nice run a few years ago.  They've faded back in the direction of their historical norm, though.

Yeah, Oregon, Stanford, Washington, Wake Forest sort of, Minnesota perhaps, even Florida had a bit of an insurgence.

I think it's these lesser programs having the odd good 3-4 year period but not sustaining.

So am I correct that more upper level programs have sunk than lower level programs have excelled?  Maybe for the latter they are up and down, like Stanford for a while was formidable.  No one weaker program has really stayed near the top unless you include Clemson.


Well think about it.  There aren't just the near-helmet programs around to improve.  There's EVERYONE else.  UCF saw its program peak to an all-time high recently.  TCU and Utah have peaked, just by way of movin' on up, like the Jeffersons, to P5 territory.  We've had more FCS teams beating FBS teams than ever before.  Iowa State is peaking, Indiana has risen - neither to the height of the sport, but to personal bests, over a few-year span.  Baylor matters.  Kentucky matters.  Minnesota just had a historic (for them) peak.  Northwestern has a 9-10 win season every 2nd or 3rd year.  

To put it in school grade terms, while many historically A+ programs have earned a B lately, it's not about B level programs replacing them, it's that many programs are moving from D to C, or C up to B.  It's just more depth.

So, the Blue Bloods may be slipping, but nobody really is taking their place (other than perhaps Clemson).  The other teams are up and down like Baylor or TCU.

The wife will trim the back of my neck.  I think that is simple, and I can't see it anyway.  I'm getting quite shaggy now and I had a hair cut just before this happened.

I get my hair cut about once a month. I was just about due when all this happened. My wife threatened to get some clippers and cut my hair. Thank goodness she couldn't find any available on Amazon. I keep my hair really short, so I don't even need a comb. Well I have had to get a comb. This goes much longer, I am going to learn whether my grey hair curls as much as my black hair did (I have heard it can be different). It is definitely very wavy now, this goes on much longer I may end up with the afro I wore during my younger days.

My very white hair is wavier than it was when I was young and had moderately long hair, about like it is now.

Groovy shirt.  I had one very similar at about the same time.  Mine was much smaller of course...

I was for some reason very proud of that shirt.  I only wore it for special occasions.
