re: Programs that are really on a "decline"

Oklahoma has been just as consistent, if not more so, than LSU. Since 2000 they have won their conference 8 times. LSU has 3 conference titles in that same time period. They have been to 8 BCS games in that time period. LSU has been to 5. Of those 8 BCS appearances, 4 of them were made in the national title game. LSU has appeared in the national title game 3 times. Granted LSU has won more national titles over that time period (2 vs. 1).
Yes but... the SEC has had Auburn, Alabama, Florida win a total of six national championships in that time frame... is it fair to make the conference championships/BCS appearances comparisons straight up when LSU is being beaten out by programs who won national championships?

Exactly. This is like FSU fans always bringing up conference titles with us.

Virginia Tech
Nebraska (settled into plateau)
Boise
Florida (if this keeps up, TBD)
Texas (4 years of mediocrity)
Iowa
Wisconsin
TCU

Nebraska is the epitome of a declined program. They were so dominant in the mid 90's after decades of being an NC contender on the reg. The lack of top 10 finishes would stun a husker fan from the 70's - 90's.

Fresno State at one point no BCA team wanted a part of them because they would lose

Right on.....until next year or the next when all that suddenly changes.

In theory, Alabama has nowhere to go but down. So unless they start going unbeaten for a couple of straight years, then they will "decline".

B1G - Nebraska and Penn St (this is really hurting the conference)
ACC - Virginia Tech
B12 - Texas, TCU
SEC - Tennessee, Georgia, Florida
PAC - Oregon (next year will tell the truth)
With that being said, every one of those schools can turn it around.

Mora staying put while USC hired another Carroll lackey.

I think Oregon and Stanford are both ridiculous suggestions of programs on the decline.

A real, long-term decline of once great programs... Notre Dame
Notre Dame hasnt had a losing season in 4+ years now, went 12-1 in 2012, played in the national title, and continues to bring in top 10 recruiting classes. They have also played in 3 BCS bowl games. Not to mention, they have one of the best coaches in the country.
They are not *elite* but still a top 10-15 program.

They've unfortunately haven't been very good this decade (except 2012). Next year is huge on WM.

I don't get how people are saying Iowa.
They've been doing the same thing for the last decade: have a great season, have high expectations for the next season and under perform, fly under the radar the next year and overachieve. Its a constant cycle. They actually have put together a solid season this year but everybody wrote them off after week one.
