A few schools have what is needed to compete at the highest level: money, commitment, coaching, facilities, recruiting base/ability, etc.
In the near future I see the following as powers: Clem, UGA, bama, UF, LSU, UTx, Tamu, OU, tOSU, ND, UMich.
USC is now a dumpster fire but they will return. AU is almost in that mix but IMO won't stay there, maybe in and out. Oregon is close.
At this moment the top in recruiting are Clem, bama, LSU, UGA, UTx, tOSU.
Only LSU must play 3 of these teams every year, bama, UF and Tamu. Win SEC W and get UGA or UF again. LSU also has scheduled for the future UTx, OU and Clem. Not sure why Pats aren't on the schedule too.
