There’s a sentiment that dynasties are a thing of the past, with us a few years removed from Georgia’s back to back seasons (they needed one more title to be a dynasty but they’re close and I think an argument can be made for them being one though I wouldn’t make it).

But as things change those on the cutting edges adapt and sooner or later someone will find a hack. Hell, Indiana has already found a hack to win a natty but I am not sure what their model for sustained elite play is yet to crown them with dynasty potential. Cignetti is clearly a great coach and what he did was remarkable, but I am curious at how he’ll reload year after year when he doesn’t have guys who started 3 or more seasons in his system every year he can just plug in there. They should still be good but idk if they have dynasty potential.

Ohio State seems like a possibility. The have the talent, brand and money. They do have a tough conference, the toughest conference now with the sec as a 1b behind them at the moment. So maybe that could trip Ohio state up.

If there’s one program with dynasty potential, it’s Miami. The ACC is falling apart and they have the money, willingness and alignment to buy players. Plus they’re in a talent rich area with lots of amenities to attract top tier players with lots of money. Cristobal has been improving as a coach and always stocks up the lines of scrimmage, plus UF and FSU are dead programs with usf not a real threat and UCF still a few decades away from being a real threat as well (though with the amount of alumni they’re pumping out they might be an nil giant in about 7-10 years).

yeah the U is back and has the best chance of being a dynasty in the NIL era.

head coach and $$$ will dictate next one.

aTm has a boat load of cash, as does Tejas. They could be next, all depends on coaching.

cignetti, with cash to replace qb starters yearly, will be up there.

in theory, but they need to shake the “poor Aggy” stigma around their program ,which is harder than it seems.

Pure resources? Texas, Ohio St and USC. It would take a great coach to do it though. That aspect makes any school with a top 5-10 budget a possibility. The coaching will continue to be the integral cog to any sustained success as talent is more spread out.

agree about the first two.

And while you’re right usc has the resources, unlike Texas and Ohio state, they don’t seem to have the institutional or fan base/booster interest in being elite in athletics.

Distracted market, there are just so many things to do there. Unless the program is rolling (think Pete Carroll years), stands are empty and so cal people don't give a shite.

The days of a Dynasty are long gone. I doubt we see another back to back champion in the foreseeable future.

Poor choice of words on my part

Probably “on paper” would be more fitting because A&M has the resources to build something elite but can’t seem to stop “AGGYing” it up when they have had a chance to take the next step.

I think Miami or LSU does it before 2030

It takes boosters with $$$, plus institutional comittment. USC does not have that. Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, probably LSU and UGA and Miami

I’m not sure you can hack the expanded playoffs. Unless you lower your definition for “dynasty.”

A&M should never be included in these discussions until they win literally anything.

Totally Agree. A&M has the potential but they have a weird, crazy cult culture that’s dragging them down. Let’s hope they don’t fix it

The landscape will change again significantly before there is another dynasty.

What’s interesting is that the schools that have the most money are the Ivy League schools. Those schools have so much money it’s unfathomable!!! Imagine if the Ivy League decided to take over college football again like they did once before. For real…these Ivy League schools endowments are simply massive!!!
