So i made a post last off season talking about a new NCAA Football super league and used multiple factors (including revenue, TV viewership, NIL etc) over the last 15 years to see who would be in a theoretical super league.
Well this year. I only looked at Football performance. But over the last 40! Years.
1985-2024. Looking at final top 25 rankings as well as National championships/ runner up.
And heres what i came up with.
Dynastys: always in the top 10 and have multiple championships
Blue Bloods: Usually in the top 10. Always in the top 25. Has a national championship or multiple runner ups.
Great: alway in the top 25. Sometimes in the top 10. May have a championship or runner up.
Good: mostly in the top 25. Rarely top 10. No runner up or championships.
Above Average. Occasionally in the top 25.
Average: a few top 25 appearances
Not that good: rarely ever in top 25
Meh: 1-2 top 25 appearances
Bad: has never appeared in the top 20. In 40 years.
Should be FCS: only recently joined the FBS and hasnt really done much of anything.
So in my opinion take the top half of teams. (Average on up) thats 64 teams.
Basically the current power 4+ ND And Boise St.
Remove: Maryland, Rutgers, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Duke, SMU, and UCF.
And done.
