What constitutes "media darling

---

Teams that win, win, win. (The only exception is Notre Dame.)

Teams that win and have major stars (Heisman candidates) and are really flashy (usually with great offenses) and a major program to begin with...have star status.

You win, you win impressively, you win with star players who are up for Heismans...you are going to be a media darling period. Racking up tons of points, throwing the ball, winning...Miami (80's), Florida State (90's), USC (00's)...you WILL be a media darling.

So if you want to be a media darling stop grinding it out...follow the blueprint of those teams.

This idea that the media just loves some schools w/o winning is idiocy and false...except for one, Notre Dame. Everyone else who gets major love from the media EARNED IT by winning and being frankly awesome to watch. Very few media and the public like hand-offs all day into the middle of the line and "smash-mouth" football. It's boring to write about.
