The reason I'm surprised about Miami is I didn't know they had a fan base (aside from the rare instances when they start out 4-0 or something.)

The others listed have a ton of fans obviously, and so could be viewed as "annoying".

Miami fans were mostly bandwagon from the 90s when they were winning.

the fan base appreciated the thug/cheating criminal aspect

I’m curious if anybody ever thinks Miami will be relevant again ?  Their 80’s success appears to be highly tainted. I didn’t follow them in the 90’s much, but they went on another run in the early 00’s, and then it seems like they’ve been pretty irrelevant for the last 20 years. If I’m not mistaken they’ve done nothing in the ACC. 

How successful can a private small college be in this environment?

With NIL now, it's tough to say, some Nike dude shows up with bags of cash and suddenly you're Oregon.

The landscape in 10 years could be vastly different in terms of which programs are "on top".

Does Miami have good NIL potential?

It doesn't take many with money and interest to generate NIL numbers.  It's going to be a race obviously.  The Dawg posts suggest UGA is "NIL deficient", I have no clue what's true there.  The gist is commits want to play for championships, yadda yadda.

If I'm a 4-5 star and say UNC offers me $500 K a year, I'm going there, figuring to play 3 years and go pro.  If I go to UGA, I might sit a year and play STs and maybe get a bit lost.

Yeah my NIL "insider" buddy recently suggested that Texas is currently at maybe 1/10th of where it will be in the next 6-8 years with respect to NIL money.

I'd move Ohio State off that list, move Notre Dame up 1, and slot Tennessee in at #3 over Texas, above #5 Michigan.

To me, part of what makes fan bases INCREDIBLY annoying is the sense of superiority and entitlement without the success to back it up. Ohio State ifans aren't cocky; they're confident :57:

Normally I'd always put ND at #1, because they're smug and feel superior despite not having a championship in almost 40 years now. But I can agree with Miami at #1. They came out of nowhere, and returned there, and can't even fill their stadium on a regular basis, but they still think they're hot sh!t. 

Tennessee hasn't had a championship since the 90s, and has barely sniffed anything in 20 years. Texas has a very rich history, but they fell off the map after Mack Brown and have been in nowheresville for a decade and a half now. Michigan would be higher on the list, but they've beaten OSU 3 years running and just cashed their check to stay below the other teams on this list with the NC last season. Probably will immediately fall way behind OSU again now that JEEM is gone tho.
