Definitely this. Entry in SEC along with eclipsing UTa as the school in Texas will make Tamu a super power.
A friend and I were discussing this just yesterday.
aTm has the combination of money, alumni, location, and passionate fan base that could make for a juggernaut

dat private school money

ok, most sports, lol. Wasnt meant to bash USC. just saying the disparity seems wierd.
Posted on 5/18/13 at 12:47 pm to EvrybodysAllAmerican
It's because they're a basketball school.
There has always existed that disparity in football...
I don't know why or how it started but it persisted and it's hard to change 100 years of one school being the big bad wolf and the other being the little underdog piglet.
ETA: And Homey is right about the money.

I could see Tennessee getting back there soon.

I love how people think being in the SEC is going to propel A&M over Texas. A&M did nail it with Sumlin, though.

Arizona will be consistently competing for PAC 12 titles and bcs playoff berths soon.

I think Virginia. They seriously have no excuse for sucking as bad as they do. Va Tech has been bitch-slapping them for over a decade with inferior resources, campus, tradition, academics, facilities and funding. If they ever get their shite together and realize their potential in that fertile recruiting territory, they will be a force.

If Houston had the consistent fan and financial support, it could surpass Boise State and (formerly) TCU as the flagship non-BCS program.

-Washington
-Colorado (if they can solve their money problem and get back to the way they once were)
-Vanderbilt (Franklin is doing great things and is recruiting very well)
-Tennessee
-Cal (if Stanford can do it and maintain success, I see no reason why Cal Berkley can't achieve the same success).

UCLA-great facilities and good at every other sport. They have every advantage USC has except on the field.
Maybe not a sleeping "giant" but -- thinking of Southern California schools -- I've always thought that if San Diego State had invested more in football they would have a pretty high ceiling.

Regardless of what you think about Franklin, Vanderbilt is not a sleeping giant.
