Mavric Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 NCAA Football 1. Georgia Bulldogs Why Georgia? Plenty of college teams are way worse -- take two schools mentioned above, Kansas and Wake Forest -- but no one really cares about football at those schools, except in the odd year where they're good or when Charlie Weis is getting run out of town. So, our list has to be hardcore football schools that haven't been playing very good football or, in the case of our No. 1 team, have been playing fine football but just can't put it together for one season to win the dominant SEC. Mark Richt had 10-plus wins in nine of 15 seasons in Athens and got canned, which should tell you something about expectations at Georgia. 2. Nebraska Cornhuskers Plenty of schools would kill to have Nebraska's success since 2004, when the ill-fated Bill Callahan experience began. In those 12 years since, the team has three 10-win seasons, five nine-win seasons and a 5-5 bowl record. Again, plenty of teams would kill for those stats. But that's not good enough at Nebraska, a place with perhaps the greatest (and nicest) fans in college football and a school that wants to have national-championship expectations every year. 3. Boise State Broncos It was fun while it lasted, wasn't it? Now there's a Boise State threatening to gum up the power-conference works every year and only rarely is it Boise State.

Canesfan01 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Miami will be back before Nebraska will. That's for sure Quote Link to comment
Sargon Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 NU and Miami with both be back the same year, 2017 (sort of back like in second 10 ratings) IMO. NU's fan base is not anywhere near "miserable." Miami's fan base is close to nonexistent. Quote Link to comment
