So Nebraska and Michigan are inversely related, where in order for one to be up, the other has to be down?

You could argue Nebraska did not really fall off a cliff until after 2016.
We are all equal but some are more equal than others.

FWIW, UCLA was a big brand until fairly recently. They do not seem to appear in many people's top 10.

A big brand... in basketball. 

Clearly Indiana and Illinois are the biggest brands among the basketball schools, as they are the only ones that are having their hardwood prestige bleed over into success on the gridiron. 

We all agree on 9 of the top ten, in some order.

Bill Callahan fell off a cliff @ Nebraska beginning with a 5-6 record in 2004

Well...
UCLA is right around #25 in all-time FBS winning percentage, behind USC and Washington, ahead of Oregon, and is #3 in all-time Pac-10/12 conference titles (behind USC and Washington), and 4th in Pac-10/12 Rose Bowl wins (curiously it goes USC, Stanford, Washington, UCLA), same for Rose Bowl appearances.

That's when you fell off of the little cliff up on the top.

2016 was when you fell off of the rest of the cliff.

I guess it's worth noting that I grew up on Pac-10 football in the 1980s, and from the 50s through the 90s, UCLA was definitely a big brand in Pac-10 football. USC was always the biggest, and the Don James era was very good for the Huskies (70s to early 90s).

Okay, so on the football side they were the Pac's Minnesota.
