Frankly that has been the case for awhile, but now there is no doubt. The next person that says "the power 5" when referring to football should be shot. There is no power 5, and there hasn't been for awhile.stature.
When georgia, alabama, auburn, LSU, A&M, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Penn State, USC, Wisconsin, and Ohio State are all in
just two conferences......well, that is the 'power'.
They are what I will now refer to as the 'big 14'. If you want to quibble and throw out a program or two(tennessee? wisconsin?) or add an Iowa or whatever, fine. But the basic point is the same.
The only programs with *any significant* stature at all now not in these two conferences are Florida State, Notre Dame, and Clemson. Remove the significant part of 'any significant' and one could make the case Oregon and Washington have a tiny bit of
But really.....this is it. Frankly with what the sec and bigten has now they could just play each other exclusively within conference and then throw in 3 sec-bigten interconference games every year and college football wouldn't actually be muchdifferent if those were the ONLY games we saw.
I mean the dust has pretty much settled with the exception of the notre dame question and wondering if FSU and Clemson want to choose to wilt on the vine in their shit conference....but this sort of completes the picture.

What you saw today was the end of the Rose Bowl until they decide to basically move the entire remaining hierarchy into about 48 teams and create a permanent national super-class of just that amount.

But the basic point is the same.If you're throwing out Wisconsin, don't add Iowa. I'd take out Tennessee and get it to 12, but that's basically the accepted limit (even by the admission of ESPN's Andrea Edelman) that, in essence, there are only about twelve teams in college football
stature.The only programs with *any significant* stature at all now not in these two conferences are Florida State, Notre Dame, and Clemson. Remove the significant part of 'any significant' and one could make the case Oregon and Washington have a tiny bit of
Notre Dame will have join one of the two for football -- that is simple.
