Comparing the built-in advantages of UCLA to their current production, they receive my vote.

What program would you name?

Texas A&M. They haven’t won anything of consequence in more than 2 decades

Texas, Texas A&M, the real USC are easy picks. You can make an argument for UGA despite their recent success are a program that given their location should have more success historically.

I’m not sure they have all the advantages, today, that people think they have

Only 3500 freshman

Over half of the student body is Asian / Hispanic / international students (don’t care much about football)

Ghetto surrounds campus

Fans have other interests unless they are winning big

Have had a series of questionable ADs

With the right person they can dominate, but I don’t think they have some huge built in advantages

I get the Texas hate is real, and they may very well be underachievers, but they have made the last 2 CFPs. They are not even close to the worst offender.

I’m not trying to be a hater but Texas A&M should have at least won the SEC since they’ve been in the conference. They’ve had some great teams and just can never get it done.

That's actually hard to believe considering they've in the CFP and NY6 bowls in the last 10 years. Michigan State is Auburn of the North

Auburn has been in the national title game twice in the last 15 years and won one. They also had an undefeated season in 03-04 and have one of the best college football players of all time.

Not necessarily the worst, but in the past 10 years or so the Big 3 programs in Florida have all massively underachieved given their history.

Hasn't the entire SEC except Vandy and Moo U received a vote this year? Basically takes out an entire conference for that dubious distinction.

USC....

USC wanders in the wilderness more than any blue blood outside of the faded memory of Nebraska.
