The new economics of college football means talent is far less concentrated.


In 2018 and 2019 the two drafts, prior to this decade, 32 FCS players were drafted. Last year there were only 4 drafted, 8 the year before.

What a crock that was.


There was a sweet spot of medium money where that could have happened, but that passed

It will be tough because the big powerhouse programs of the Big 10 and SEac that have money all have the hardest schedules.

If you look back at the dynasties it is about schedules, and having a level above everyone else’s players, and media influence in polling.

You can’t create the scenario that Carroll and Saban had previously. They had advantages which have now been neutralized by the current format of professional college football.

Because all the good fcs players transfer to P4 schools

The portal and NIL made the G5 worse but the mid tier of the p4 way better

Miami’s offense this year with Monday might be the best we’ve seen since 2019 LSU

Any school that has multiple billionaires that are passionate about football. The NIl era means someone is paying the roster just to win. They aren’t getting anything in return.

LSU has no competing sports or colleges in the state plus a bunch of generous billionaires and millionaires.

Oregon as long as Nike McNight keeps ponying up money.

Arkysaw has a bunch of billionaires plus Mr Cowboys himself

If Elon ever got involved I think it would be over.

Not sure the money in the B1G. You really need new money people. Old money isn’t getting blown on football year in year out.


USC is cooked. Those are showboaters there or UCLA would be top tier.

The Texas schools all have billionaire alumnus

Georgia seems to be doing well

I think Alabama is in trouble and also Michigan but I really am speculating.

Penn St I have no clue about either.

Dynasties are obsolete in this current era.

Any team that gets beat out to a title will just ramp up their spending the following year, no chance for a program to stay on top for long

cignetti, with cash to replace qb starters yearly, will be up there.
I think the money there will dry up when his style begins to falter. He's lightning in a bottle, not the start of a dynasty.

I've got to agree with Miami; plenty of money, some of it probably needing laundering, and unlike Los Angeles, only one obvious football team to dump it on.

would water that SMU meets the qualifications of private school, rich football history, lots of money. They could be legit at some point in the very near future.
I dunno. Have they replenished their hooker stocks yet after the Craig James Experience ?

That's my dark horse pick. Plenty of money floating around Bahstahn, but I doubt its owners are going to be buying a college football team. If some of them do decide to take a shot, though, BC is the obvious choice.

ETA: the obvious choice for them, I mean. I'm pretty skeptical it would work though.

A modern day CFB dynasty will never exist in Baton Rouge, you could give them Texas money and it still wouldn’t happen
Musk could do it, and might even try, as long as he's buying the rest of Louisiana.

But he'd frick it up.

This. If you’re known as the guy buying championships for your state, the political capital you’ll have is crazy… just like the head coaches would have had in the old days
