Meh. Ohio State and Notre Dame have been blue bloods since forever. Same goes for Michigan. Can anyone name an extended period of time in the last thirty years that Ohio State hasn't been good to great. Their last three coaches have won a National Title in different ways.
Nebraska has been great under one coach. At some point you have to understand that B1G football has been owned by either Michigan or Ohio State and now that the men of Michigan have their billionaire invested that isn't going to change. There's a tier list that has Oregon, USC, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State as every year title contenders. You then have the could be with if they use their resources and that list is Michigan State and Washington. Nebraska has the backing and tradition but even with all that it's been a chore to go from top 25 classes to top 10.
Iowa, UCLA, Indiana, Wisconsin, Maryland and Minnesota are mid tier but capable of jumping up and grabbing a playoff bid once in a while. Northwestern, Purdue and Rutgers are at the bottom pretty consistently. Getting back to Iowa, I can see an inspired hire that infuses life back into the program like the 2000's version with NFL candidate Kirk. I can also see a train wreck like what has happened to Nebraska since firing Frank Solich. Does Iowa have a Boone T Pickens that will just donate to elevate the program like what happened at Oklahoma State between 2008-2020?
