Payback is over rated.

Well, no it's not.

Looking forward to some payback. Wouldn’t it be grand if both A&M could become perennial contenders in the SEC instead of Alabama and Georgia.
keep dreaming

Folks often think X and Y are on top and will be "forever", but we can look back 10-15 years and see that can't be expected.  I think we can expect Ohio State to be near the top for a long time, but other programs have drifted off, and some will drift back, and some unknowns will get good.  Remember Boise State?  FSU?  Miami?  Of course.

I don't know if we've ever had a time in the last 50 years when so many BBs were down - USC, Texas, Nebraska.  Bama has been on an impressive run obviously but that may wain in time post-S.  UGA will probably stay pretty good for a while.  Michigan may lapse into 9-4 ishness.  Clemson?  No idea really.  Probably can win in the ACC.

You'd think.  But then again, what if he really IS Satan?

When we formed the Big 12 and had North and South divisions, the big promise was that no one would play both Nebraska and Colorado in the same season because, well, it'd be unfair to face both national contenders.

Things change.

Yup.  And Texas and OU were down, and A&M was the best team in the South, heading into that first B12 season.

Nope, and it's a recruiting line for competing programs now, not as yet very effective.  I'm sure Smart's ten year contract has recruiting in mind.

The preseason top ten in 2032 could well look quite different than today's, duh.


2012 Final Football Polls | College Poll Archive

Despite the name, that is preseason, and the top six are ranked teams today, but then follows Stanford, South Carolina, Florida, and FSU.

Well, a fellas got to have hope if nothing else.  There was a time when it would make me laugh if you told me that Baylor was the top Big 12 team.  Them and oSu.  Now?  It just makes me cringe !

Yup, same here.  Lived through some lean years for Texas in the 80s and early 90s, but then the dream came true in 2005.

I can dream some more.
