No disagreement there. Michigan, Notre Dame, and Texas are probably the three biggest delusional fanbases in college football. They all think they're top 5 programs. They used to be but they haven't been in a looooooong time. Nebraska used to be in that group but they seem to have accepted their new mediocre reality.

I'm a Michigan fan but I'm not delusional. Recruiting is now much more difficult for them. Once the internet boomed, players didn't have to go to a big school to be seen. Obviously it helps, but they could be a backup at a school like Michigan or a top tier starter elsewhere. Then there is the football powerhouse that is the SEC and the optimal weather year round for young men looking to have a good time. I doubt Michigan will ever be really relevant long term again.

Michigan's far bigger problem is that they've effectively become OSU's little brother.

OSU is the only Big 10 team that belongs in the conversation with the upper tier of college football. Speaking of Michigan, I would dare say that not only OSU, but Penn State and Michigan State have had more success in recent memory. 

Who would have ever thought the Big 10 would be more competitive in college basketball than college football

They just need to add OSU and Clemson to the SEC.  Kick out Vandy and SC. Rename it.   I hate ND too much to include them but I guess you could kick out Miss St or someone.   That’s basically college football at this point.

I would keep ND out, they would get slaughtered weekly in the SEC. Overrated yearly. Cincinnati beat them in South Bend this year, yet the media actually pushed for them over Cincy in the playoffs.

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      I think an interesting follow up would be how many of those QBs went on to win a Super Bowl at all. From some quick chatGPT questions, it seems only 3 of them (Eli Manning, Matthew Stafford, and Sam Darnold) have gone on to win a Super Bowl as a starter.  While teams picking in the top 5 generally aren’t great organizations, I think the fact that 34/37 haven’t won Super Bowls can’t just be pinned on the organizations. Maybe quite a few of those guys never should have been top 5 picks. Here’s looking at guys like Blake Bortles, Mitch Trubisky, Joey Harrington, Bryce Young, Tua, Mark Sanchez, and the list goes on and on. Maybe there is just something wrong with QB draft evaluations, as many analysts thought the majority of those 37 dudes were top 5 picks.

      I honestly wouldn't draft a QB if my team earned the first pick, unless we're talking Luck, Cam or Stafford level talent available. Generational type guys that can lift a bad team. They are rare breeds though. Trade back for a king's ransom and come back when you've gotten your ish together - see Chicago bears.  As far as yards and scores trending down, I think it has a lot to do with how teams are playing defense now. Most defenses are in some form of nickel/dime most of the game, with exotic blitz packages using DBs to pressure the QB. They're taking away the passing game, and teams built to pass without a complimentary run game to keep the defense honest will struggle.  Maybe RBs will become top draft picks again.

      How many made it to the SB?  Cam was drafted #1 and almost won, do we think he wasn't worth the pick?  lol   Same with Joe Burrow.
